$11 billion a year globally and is shown in over 200 countries worldwide. Keep these threads comin' tho
Thread should have ended here.

But stupid, stuck-in-the-past, senseless ass cats wanna argue otherwise because they can't turn back the clock on their childhoods.

Still haven’t watched a game all season

Gil Scott c00n keeps posting 90s clips but the game was fine and still enjoyable until the late 2010s
Look at this dumbass c00n.

Says he hasn't watched a game this season yet tries to speak on it as if he has. How would you know what's what if you haven't watched a game? Don't quote me. That's rhetorical.

Jazz & Bulls played 12 finals games and that only happened once.
They averaged 80 points in the '98 Finals.

It seems pretty funny to me how a clip was used from a regular season game of two teams who won't even make the Finals (over a 1-2 minute span), as a scale of the league today, when here you had the Jazz in the 90s who struggled to score for the entirety of a Finals series. No example of Donovan and his incredible shot-making at the end of the 4th to beat arguably the best team in the league, nah, let's just cherry pick a 1-2 minute sample size to make a sweeping generalization about today's game.

Just another example of cats being hypocritical all to protect the era(s) they grew up watching. They're not interested in having a honest discussion about anything.

People say that it keeps on dying but the money keeps on flowing, and so does it’s valuation. I don’t think they care about so much else really. But of course American cable viewers are important for the players own side business such as endorsements but at the same time it might be offset by increase in other countries

What folks really mean when they say the NBA is dying or it's not entertaining anymore is that its American roots are no longer prominent like they used to be.

There's infinitely more foreign players than there was during the 90s; the best players in the game are foreign; they associate 3-pt shooting with Euros; the branding is more international than it's ever been before.

Which is why you have all these comments about the NFL still being relevant to them because it's American and literally nothing else.

It just really goes to show how narrow-minded cats are in this country.

I see social media has been on this NBA is dying wave. It ain’t dying number 1, number 2 Cacs is a little too gleeful about the ratings dip. It’s just some passive aggressive shyt towards the “social justice” stance of a lot of the players. It’s probably the only league where most of the stars lean liberal

You literally did the same thing with the 90s clips :mjlol:

Basic cable television is declining and I don’t see a new face coming in for lebron and Steph

And even though a lot of us hate seeing all these 3 point shots, same pick n roll with the players driving to open baskets and dishing out for contested 3s, the league still pack arenas and even overseas like the game..
