Jokic is 1 guy. If there was a Jokic on every team the product would be a lot better.
Then why haven't y'all professed y'all undying support for him over the years? Why have y'all shytted on him instead?
The expanded due to outreach not because the product is better.
I think it's rather inconsequential whether you or I believe the product is better or worse. We're going to like different things. The fact of that matter is - viewership is as high as it's ever been, despite your assertion that it's been declining. The younger generation have no concept of the previous eras, so they don't know whether the product is better/worse than the periods that came before.

Much like y'all who grew up watching a certain era, y'all didn't have any concept that the time before was better or worse.

You had generations complaining about 00s hoops; you had generations complaining about 90s hoops (players like Wilt said the 90s were soft and catered to guards).

nfl has significantly less games & they don't allow clips/highlights

mlb has viewership issues of their own tv broadcasts & live venue

hockey is niche & really barely in the conversation with the other major leagues

people see the problems they are looking for

Plummeting ratings isn’t a problem? Explain that to me..

Tanking is a problem itself

Why would I wanna spend my hard earned money to see some team lose on purpose

Because teams are selling the hope that the tanking will lead to a great draft pick and be worth it in the long run

A couple years ago the current 1 and 2 seeds in the West were blatantly punting whole seasons

Y'all back-in-the-day ass nxggas are not serious.

Jokic epitomizes the type of play that y'all supposedly crave for, in every way, except for the fact over the last 4-5 years, y'all have done everything in your power to shyt on him and downplay his game. Y'all haven't made threads about him saying "this is what NBA fans want to see". Y'all haven't made threads about wanting him to succeed because he goes against the grain of players jacking up 3s and doing nothing else. Y'all haven't celebrated when he won MVPs (in fact, y'all done the opposite). Y'all haven't celebrated when he won a championship (y'all were silent).

Just straight up fake ass bullshyt from y'all.
We could make this argument for Giannis too lowkey, who quiet as kept is improving his MVP chances again this year with every win. The same folks will be like Giannis play style is boring because he doesn't have "a bag" though.

Well Jokic great and all but he don’t restore the feeling I had watching Hakeem in 95 :troll:

nba business adjusts

the way money comes in has multiplied & this the paychecks are still growing

as much as they would like for the television viewership to go back to its peak they know that it's a completely different world now

they balance it by monetizing the countless ways to engage consumers/viewers that didn't exist in times gone by

problems are for solving
