I said it earlier too, it's the style of game being played.
Back then people would watch player highlights of games where someone hit 11 threes. Now people won't even bother.
At this point I think people rather watch the highlights, but it's difficult because the highlights better be insane. Back then fadeaways and logo three pointers used to be the craziest shots, now it's basically common. Difficult to push a player who's able to make those when many people can do it.
Jokic honestly got my favorite highlights, but it ain't like dude is the only player making insane passes right now.

It’s just hard to impress and amaze people right now. It’s like we have seen everything created out there, we have seen every new and innovative team system, play, style of game, cultural movement, political ideology , movie, industry, song, signature move, album, pass , shot, goal, musical genre, etc
We have this jaded, bored and cynical « Been there, done that » mentality. We have become tough, spoiled and entitled costumers.
The most prevailing attitude in society right now is this one:wake us up when something we have never seen, something truly exceptional comes up, until it happens we won’t bother.
Exactly. there’s no Monoculture and no marquee/unifying sports event anymore except the NFL’s Super Bowl.
There’s endless entertainment options, like bars, liquor stores, restaurants, traveling, clubs, festivals, concerts, video games, reality tv drama, unlimited and free HD pornography, millions of cable channels and social media platforms in the modern era right now. People live in cultural/social silos. There are many niches. In the 1980s and 1990s, everyone watched the same tv channels, listened to the same radio stations and listened the same popular/revelant artists because of the ubiquitous and heavy MTV exposure.
It’s difficult to stand out and catch the attention of people. It’s impossible to keep the interest and enthusiasm of people. People have much more shorter attention spans and lack patience for anything,we have become ungrateful and demanding, we expect things to happen right here and right now.
Remember the lyrics to nirvana’s « smells like teen spirit »
« Here we are now , entertain us. »
We are spoiled, entitled, impulsive, impatient, easily bored, unable to focus and concentrate, easily distracted, jaded, confused, paranoid, and cynical. We have too much information, knowledge, and entertainment options at our disposal. Too much of a good thing becomes bad because we can’t appreciate and enjoy things in the moment present. When entertainment options were scarce, we cherished them more. We didn’t miss a minute of it, because we knew the chance may never come again. Right now we also suffer from paralysis from too much analysis. A lot of chronically online people find the virtual and fake world of social media more entertaining, intriguing and compelling than the real world.
Humans lost their their capacity/ability to be amazed and impressed by something. Normally, people should find joy and excitement in watching the nba finals but it doesn’t impress people like it should, instead people don’t see the nba finals as a special event.

Honestly this means nothing. The ratings will contine to decline year over year generally because less people are watching TV in general.

People don’t care about Dallas like that. And it’s really just Luka and Kyrie. It’ll be interesting to see if Dallas will bounce back
We just came off of Steph and Lebron......
your post doesnt make any sense in any capacity
the personalities just arent there.
Ant needs to be in the lab every day shooting 1000 shots a day
YEA THE WHOLE COUNTRY
WAS READY TO RALLY AROUND ANT.
IF BOTH CONFERENCE FINALS
WERE COMPETITIVE
GAME 1 WOULD HAVE GOTTEN
MORE VIEWERS ALSO.
The NBA's next media contract is near 8 billion dollars....they're fine
Bills vs Ravens PO game got almost 50mil viewers
Chiefs vs ravens got 50mil+
9ers vs lions got 50+mil
Chiefs vs ravens got 50mil+
9ers vs lions got 50+mil
Facts...It was supposed to be Minnesota
Allota casuals don't even know what Luka sounds like
Luka's game is also horrible to watch from a casual or purist lens
Nokids
Promise if I have a seed imma guide him right
Listen fam my pops been watching ball since the 70s and never liked Lebron.. even he said he’s gonna miss the guy when he dips. My pops also mentioned Edwards and says he knows he is but isn’t like the guys before him
TLDR- old heads know the new names but but don’t have the personality or star power like Steph and KD
