Firstly, Its a marketing issue

Mainstream media can't survive without talking about LA, LeBron and Bronny and to a lesser extent, Steph and the Warriors
At some point they have to truly usher in a new era. Tatum balls out almost every night and gets no praise. SGA, Ant, Cade,

The GOAT debate is tired when we have so many current and up and coming players who deserve praise and admiration

NBAtv is abysmal, nba league pass is abysmal.

The pundits keep pushing the narrative that the league is trash so casual fans run with it too

Another talking point is load management. It's pushed that players just want to sit out games when it's an entire staff dedicated to keeping players in peak performance

Also greed. It's too many games. NFL is king because we only get to see certain matchups once a season which leads to fan engagement

NBATV could be so much better than it is. There's so many TV shows they could be doing similar to NFL Network and the top 10 series or the top 100 players countdown before every season

Ehhhh, shooting droughts happen in the middle of gms all the time. But yea. My problem w that is, niggas jus KEEP jacking up 3s in the middle of droughts. If da 3 aint fallin, take it in da paint!!!

But no, nba niggas insist on shooting themselves out of a drought.

That shit is a legit pain to watch for 4 quarters.

Oh well. I stopped watchin years ago for dat exact reason

NBATV is fucking horrible. ESPN would have been better off taking it out of Turners hands

Question is nbatv in the US regional? Here it's mostly focused raptors content because I think the raptors actually own nbatv Canada but they do a shit job as well with the content. Shit has no motion.

It covers the entire nba
 
Lack of rivalries is a problem. I don't like this buddy buddy shit. Sports is about competition and as we see with rivalry week in college football, hate and rivalries always bring something extra to the game.

Even in the NFL, we still have rivalries
 
In my perfect world, the NBA would have a streaming app where every single game runs through it. You pay for the app, you get to watch whatever game you want. No blackout restrictions. Say goodbye to all the local, cable and other streaming channels. Centralize that shit to one hub. If you don't want to pay for the app, you don’t want to watch basketball.

App subscriptions and commercial advertisement sales is where the money will be made.

He actually gets it because he wasn't 21 when Ante Up dropped and was geeking over Def Jam fight for NYC.

The NBA is the vehicle for new streaming platforms to sucker in young people into contracts to watch their favorite teams.

It's no different than what the NFL was for cable companies back in the day.

Most NBA fans don't watch games on TV.

NBA don't care about traditional media numbers because TV is dead and their fans don't watch it.

Their fans only care about Inside the NBA and hated the ESPN cast. And honestly, their fans don't get their NBA content from ESPN anyway.

The NBA is an Internet centric, independent content creator, driven brand unlike the NFL.

If you are over 30, the NBA don't care about you crying about 3s. They want your kid to stop pirating their games and keep posting on social media.

The NBA keep hyping LeBron and Steph on TV for old motherfuckers because y'all ain't watching the Magic or the Nets or Houston anyway. Meanwhile real fans keeping eyes on what Lamelo, Franz Wagner and Houston is doing. They are watching breakdown videos of the Grizzlies new offense.

They ain't talking about TV ratings. If you care about TV ratings, you are a casual and old. The NBA's TV ratings been declining for years.
