2024/2025 NBA Season Thread

When the league embraces that it is a niche sport, the better off it will be. Fuck them casuals. Pacify the die-hards.
The league needs to attract new fans. Those new fans start off as casuals. What you are proposing is what’s killing battle rap right now…

We don't watch the game to see what the ratings will be. The ratings don't do anything for the outcome. We watch bcuz we love the game. I never went to bed and wondered who else was watching with me.

Battle rap sucks.

You’re making a complete different argument. We’re talking about why the ratings are down and one of the reasons being the lack of household names. Of course diehard fans are gonna watch regardless.

Yeah it does suck right now ⏸️

You called Anthony Davis a new star and then said Tatum/Luka/Ja aren’t household names

Enough from you

Luka, Jokic, Giannis, Embiid, Tatum, Ja, Booker, AD, Mitchell, Trae etc are all stars but none of them are really household names.

Those guys are on damn near every week on a channel available to almost everyone.

If casuals can't accept that this is the new NBA they can kick rocks. IMO the issue is someone on that list is always sitting out during these primetime showcases. Imagine coming up in the Bird vs Magic era and one of them wasn't playing every time they met up. Stars bring the ratings not ratings make the stars. If I'm a casual from Idaho and Luka vs Joker is the game of the night and Luka is out bcuz of injury, I won't be too invested in that game. Even tho a diehard will still watch bcuz they know that Kyrie is about to get buckets that night. The league has household names, they just don't play when you are ready to watch them.

In commercials that air during games. If someone that doesn’t watch the league knows who you are then you are a household name. Who on that list fits the bill?

1- I don't watch commercials. I can't relate.
2- You have to have a commercial to be a household name as an NBA player?
3- FUCK CASUALS!!!

If Fox is out it would behoove Sacramento to go ahead and blow it up

You're not getting someone as good or better back in a trade but they should get a pretty decent haul in return



It's over
