NBA Ratings Drastically Down This Year, Every Other Sports League Ratings Is Up

But niggas kept trying to discourage dudes like DeRozan and Ingram from taking mid range shots

Because they are ball dominant players that aren't good enough scorers and distributors to justify them having the ball in their hands so they can take their pull up middy's.

You see how DeRozan career has went. He's a journeyman scorer because he isn't good enough for a team to keep him.

Brandon Ingram isn't good enough for the Pels to keep him. He's going to be like DeRozan.

People misunderstand the midrange shot. Great offensive players are encouraged to take the midrange shot because defenses are designed to take away the rim and the 3.

Nobody opposes Luka and Shai taking the midrange shot because they are going to have the ball in their hands, putting pressure on the defense. And they are really really great at isolation and pull up middys.

People like seeing Anthony Edwards take midrange shots and he's not even on Shai or Luka level of an offensive threat. He's closer to Devin Booker.

Majority of NBA players should be driving or shooting threes because they aren't good enough to regularly command an offense, shooting pull up middies.

I agree

But what I'm saying is, they have tried to turn them into to step back 3pt shooters cause that's the trend of the game. That mid-range is still there

Also I think a lot of people have misconstrued d'antoni 7 sec or less offense

It prioritized layups/dunks and uncontested 3s that you get from penetration of the layups/dunks

Now it's just jack up the 3 early in the shot clock while the defense is scrambling to get set. Dudes are turning down shots literally under the goal to pass out to a marginally contested 3

It infuriates me when it’s a 2 on 1 or 3 on 1 fast break and someone automatically runs to the 3 point line
 
It’s funny how nobody talks enough about how damaging ESPN has been to overall interest in the NBA
Nah they not flying under the radar. Not on my watch!!!!
These niggas at ESPN got rid of all the basketball minded people and gave us the circus of hot takes that push crazy narratives all the time. And its resulted in people turning off all ESPN coverage of the NBA. The only time you can get real NBA discussions on primetime tv is once a fuckin week on TNT.

Like to see a survey on how NBA fans feels about Stephen A and Wilbon giving a game breakdown.
 
A large number of people like talking about everything around the NBA but don’t like to actually watch the NBA. They love talking about trades and free agents and what think should draft who. But they don’t like to watch the actual games. These are the people Silver placates.
