Low key they seemed cool but it never felt like a basketball show. Felt like i was watching a mid-2000s white comedy. Hopefully they get some better programming.
Not one ounce of drip whatsoever



-but really tho NBA TV needs programming in the worst way. They have all the advantages to have a poppin' network 24/7/365.. Visible stars, fast paced game, 2nd biggest sport in the world, league is shown in over 200 countries, Movie stars/music stars connections galore, in all the major cities, etc.. Outside of actual games being shown, how is your channel so trash:mindblown:

Facts
All the historic MJ, Kobe, Shaq, Bron, Dream etc games they can be playing

TV shows showing the impact of basketball all over the world..I visited the Philippines once & there were basketball goals EVERY WHERE. shyt was beautiful

Pick up games between old players & celebs

A review of each team’s previous season like how the NFL does with the yearbook thing they do every summer

Could be one of the goat channels

38k on tv, however they average 100k on youtube per episode and their bloopers segment routinely hits the 1m views mark. They either move network or just work with youtube. Either way they will be fine.

The show is great for people not living the the US and i bet that is where most their views come from. I have neither ESPN nor TNT, so the starters is the easiest way to stay updated.

They started as a podcast before Grantland picked them up

TYRONE GA!
so go to Turner and NBA and pitch a show dedicated to the underserved and underappreciated fan base that prefers the eye test

For starters where's their daily PTI- First Take type basketball show at? They currently dominate all the headlines story and drama wise but they literally have no show to highlight all of their daily soap opera drama. The Sirius XM NBA channel is where its at. They have numerous shows throughout the day and they all go IN nonstop. I honestly think NBA TV should simulcast a couple of Sirius NBA shows during the morning and afternoon if they are going to continue to take the cheap route as far as programming is concerned. That would do them justice
