I assume the ratings stuff is people knowingly talking shyt just to do it, but yeah, NBA TV ratings in the U.S. only are a small fraction of the business they do selling TV rights across the globe. People forget what a global game basketball is, and the NBA is the best league in that game. Basketball legit is probably the number two sport worldwide.
The NBA is only making about 500M from selling international rights, but that's going to go up in re-negotiations. The league is going to be rolling in bank from their new domestic and international rights sales in the next few years.
