There is no true rivalry/competition between players or teams anymore cause all of these dudes are friends..... They legitimately do not care either way if they win or lose.

That’s not true, majority of them want you to win. You can be homies off the court but it’s fuking on during game time

That and nobody knows who tf most of these players are. Outside of Bron's son most people can't name a single player drafted last year. One and done college has played apart too. You can't really become fans of these players in college and then be invested in their pro career, Steph Curry was the last organic superstar,
No rivalries
Style of play is overwhelmingly the same for every team (Jacking 3’s or Layups)
Star players sitting out games for (rest)
Lack of true American superstars
You can point to any of these, and take your pick. It’s a bevy of issues, all of which point to a negative feeling from fans and the media. I’m interested to see if this goes away after the Super Bowl ends, since that’s when the media is finally able to talk mostly NBA, or if this continues throughout the season.

The talk will be about NFL Free Agency and the NBA Talk will about how awesome LeBron is at 40.

Viewership is down because there are so many different outlets other than cable television to consume NBA content.

When players value their tunnel outfits,jersey swaps, and IG posts more than they do their W-L record you can't claim that breh.
These dudes do not value being the best, nor winning at a level where it brings out the elite competition between them.
There isn't even a premier rivalry in the league today.
Want to read the whole thread but could barely make it through the first page. Mfcas really claiming super teams are the way to revive ratings… Jesus Christ
So why isn’t viewership down for the nfl or wnba

A lot of new/emerging talents straight up do not get televised on a national stage. Banchero didn't get a nationally televised game until last season. While we understand that the Warriors,Lakers,Celtics,Bucks command top billing....the NBA simply not caring about putting other teams on TV until they've "proven" themselves is a detriment to their overall TV product.
having small market/ 2nd/3rd tier teams playing on regular TV would be a low cost/high reward option for casuals.
Im not an expert but Im wondering if its due to the amount of games being played. NFL is like 17 games vs 80 in the nba. Honestly they should cut down on the amount of games in the reg season and make every game meaningful.
Not true. Plenty of black watchers feel the same about the product. Even Gil’s arena say the same thing we’re saying

Man look, you can have 17 games and if you’re ass it’s still too long

NFL comes on at least 3x a week. 4x late in the season. National basketball games come on what 3/4 a week? So that ain't it. Broadcast TV plays a role, but all in all no one is invested in NBA teams like they are Football. Fans go wherever LeBron goes. They LeBron fans, not Cavs, Heat or Lakers fans.
