“NBA ratings are down b/c too many foreigners and mulattos”

[RiffRaff]

NFL on

The big thing that isn't being talked about is that nba game are no longer on free TV. The first free televised game is christmas day for the casual fan. Having your product behind a pay wall won't increase your ratings. Especially with the way that cable continues to decline. This is where the NFL made the right move.

Nbc games will be on Saturday and sunday next year, they did not air games during the week when they had the contract before, except playoffs

Kobe Lebron Melo Shaq Wade T Mac Carter AI Duncan KG era is gone there aren’t enough box office superstars to carry the torch

The game is becoming trash because

1…Everyone shooting 3s because analytics says if you shoot more 3s than 2s you win the game.. but that would be cool if every team had a Steph and prime klay on it

Tired of seeing 3 on 1 fast breaks and nikkas pulling up for 3s

2.. pick and rolls all the same forward or center comes up top , guard goes right or left with the lane wide open and they dished it out for a contested 3

3. Haven’t seen nobody develop that kobe , mj low post fadeaway

Once the Cac that was Promised Cooper Flagg hits the league, guarantee his games will have good ratings. And don't let him become a star.

Get on the bandwagon/agenda now while you have a chance.

We ain't taking no more applications after December. Tell em @NaijaProdigy Redux @Basaglia

You can guarantee @Gil Scott-Heroin will be on the wagon of any white boy who can hoop.

Expect multiple threads by breh the first time he scores 25 or makes 5+ 3's

Ant already has it, Zion has made them the 15-20 times he has taken them, Ja is too small to utilize it, B Miller also has it and is climbing my player ranks.

But you are right. The few dudes that bring something different to the game both have problems staying healthy or problems with guns and buns.

Everybody plays the same. It’s this regimented, sterile type of basketball. Not enough variety in the way dudes play the game. Creativeness is nonexistent.

 

[Brolic]

Yes indeed

 

[get these nets]

Silver just isn't David Stern, if ratings and numbers are down its largely due to Stern not being here anymore.

Also, whether dudes know it or not, you're starting to sound like hillbilly sports fans. Angry at life and scapegoating athletes.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Correct. But the clueless will swear tHiS is ThE gReATeSt eRA as scrubs score 50 regularly not because they are so great but because of lack of defense or carrying/travel calls. I always say if it’s true that these are the bestest super athletes ever you should want hard nose defense back because then they can prove it and shut people like me up. No one talked about Mitchell, Luka and Embiid’s 70s two days later whereas they would be considered all timers previously

*sees MJ get lost behind a simple screen, and instead of contesting the shot he runs down the other end of the floor*

Bu-bu-but the 90s is the greatest defensive era.

*sees Levingston not even try to block Reggie's shot, moves out of the way, and still the refs call a non-existent foul*

Bu-bu-but the 90s is the greatest defensive era.

*sees MJ run away from defending Reggie in transition like a scorned child*

Bu-bu-but the 90s is the greatest defensive era.

*sees the Bulls players let Reggie run in transition once again with nobody bothering to defend him*

Bu-bu-but the 90s is the greatest defensive era.

*sees MJ ball-watching, letting Reggie dive to the rim*

Bu-bu-but the 90s is the greatest defensive era.

*doesn't act surprised when MJ gets lost behind another screen, letting Reggie get another easy bucket*

Bu-bu-but the 90s is the greatest defensive era.

The glorious 90s and that hard-nosed defense.



I dare you to find a poorer display of defense over the last 10 years.

Every point in this thread is disprovable by the underlying numbers.

You blowed asf.

Its plenty of creative scorers and more dudes deadly at pulling up off the dribble (some dudes over dribble, but it's plenty of nikkas that's gone in 1-2 dribbles) than it ever was.

The lack of creativity is a lie. It's just as many as it was during any era, they are just not as good as Wade or MJ or AI. Doesn't mean those skills are completely missing, just the dudes today ain't as good as they were.

Lamelo Ball is that nikka right now.

Lamelo Ball is that nikka right now.

He plays a herky jerky style of play.
