NBA media might be turning the corner

[Justise M]

College football and the NFL have monopolized the days of the week so much that there is no time to watch a casual game of college basketball. Back when ESPN was king and people had cable you could throw on any game from any conference and I'd watch. But today, even if the greatest prospect ever is playing live I can just wait for the clips/possession by possession breakdowns to hit YouTube and not have to watch a 2 hour game . And that's only if my NBA team is sorry, if we don't have a top pick what am I going to watch it for

Everything you say in undoubtedly true. I also think fans don't connect to their college basketball programs because at the blue blood programs most the kids are in and out the door before they can form an attachment to them. They also know that if the kid plays too well they are going to leave so there's no point of keeping up.

Nba would have keep an influx of new fans from all parts the country (Spokane- stockton, wake Forrest-duncan)where they are following their favorite player for 3-4 years.

Last years draft was the biggest group of unknowns and foreigners I've ever seen. Nobody following those kids or care and ratings gonna keep dropping

Been saying this for years, these Inside the NBA and the rest of the flabby heads from the 1980s/90s' are the worst ambassadors of the NBA..

Inside been like this since the early 2000's and now n-gga's wanna shyt on it, while you had ESPN out here trying to start trade rumors or telling players to leave their teams ala Donovan Mitchell and Giannis.

And for those agreeing, y'all just some follow the leader ass n-gga's

LeBron James, when asked about changes to the NBA All-Star Game format, touched on more issues with the league: “Our game, there’s a lot of f—ing 3s being shot. So it’s a bigger conversation than just the All-Star Game”





Players be talking that shyt too

You're not getting me to click on Colin. He's one of the primary reasons why sports talk in this country is trash

Dude is racist. He was Joe Rogan 1.0 bringing up racist shyt to “discuss”

It's a bad product for you, that is true. That doesn't mean everyone else feels the same way.

Then they don't have to agree or even watch Inside the NBA. It's not mandatory, or even required viewing. It's retired players that don't watch the modern NBA, don't know the players, talking ish and cracking jokes for 30 mins.

Basically, people are saying that because some color commentary folks take shots at the game, they're telling people not to watch. If people are relying on others to tell them to watch or not watch, the league has already lost
