Saying this on Cowherd 
FOH!
Boston, Dallas, and Milwaukee won championships in recent years. You barely hear about any of those guys in random conversations. And if you haven’t won a chip good luck out here
If Inside the nba was so bad for the league it wouldn’t have been saved. I mean we lost Inside Stuff and that was one of the goat shows during the era it came out in. People are making too many excuses

precisely...make this make sense....It’s a lot easier to blame everything except the trash product on the court.
Every other sport is making changes to improve the actual sport, but hardcore NBA fans think the problem lies with the people in the studio.
Because it’s not that the product is bad, it’s that fans haven’t been told why the bad product is actually good yet.
barkley and co just need to tell the fans the NBA is a great product and all will be well.....
are people serious with this thinking?

This. I mean people don’t watch most of the current shows on tv. Losing inside the nba will not change anything. Online haters will just get amplified more lol

Yall some dummies repeating this dumb shyt . No one said that.
You cannot defend them saying not to watch the NBA playoffs. You can’t defend that dumb shyt.

We are talking about the NBA and your concern is about the watchability of a show that tears down the league

This has been an issue for awhile. Nowhere on any other major sports program in this country are you gonna tell people to NOT watch games, nowhere on any other major sports program are you gonna have guys saying "I wasn't familiar with your game", (that ended up becoming a meme but that's besides the point.)

Shaq and Charles have been joking or trashing the NBA since they both been on the air.
But now folks want to point out that it's a problem because the product is finally reached its unwatchable status. So they're looking for a scapegoat.
The NBA is clearly in its post Infinity War stage like the MCU is.
Do Shaq and Charles make them shoot 40 3's a game?
Do they make guys load management?
Do they make guys give a SHYT All-star game performance? And dunk contest?
Did they make James Harden at his peak and his prime dribble the ball for 20 seconds and flop every 2 minutes and foul-bait?
Did they make Mike D'Antoni somehow be hired multiple times?
Do they make everyone imitate Steph Curry only to bomb epically while continually chucking threes?
Did they make Zion Williamson not give a damn about his career?
Did they make Ben Simmons basically turn into a shell of himself?
Or Joel stay in the ER?
Or make guys not have play defense or come out of shape?
Did they make Ja post up guns multiple times?
Do they make the Wizards, Hornets, Pelicans consistently out ass teams on the court?
But somehow two dudes that have been retired for 35 years combined are the problem

Ive been pointing that shyt out for years. I wrote an article 25 years ago about the league marketing being trash before the show even aired.
I predicted the downward turn.
NBA fans are fickle as shyt, and proved it when MJ first “retired” in 94’ and the ratings went to dirt. It doesn’t have shyt to do with the three-point shot. NBA marketing has been trash since they went to NBC and I called that shyt for what it was. And it continues to be trash by allowing its stars to tear down the game.
How the fukk do you expect A league to be healthy when it’s Hall of Famer are telling you not to watch the playoffs and the legitimizing MVPs? What other league does that shyt besides the NBA? None. Why do you clowns have difficulty seeing that since they are the only league thar are dysfunctional like this, It hurts their ratings?

Defend this shyt
It's like when Marvel kept putting out trash and kept expecting people to show up.
When you make Iron Man 1 or Winter Soldier or Infinity War you make $$
You put out Ant-Man 3 and Thor 4 and people respond accordingly.
Just like NOW. You have your opinion and that's fine but to me the downturn has nothing to do with Shaq and Charles and everything to do with the fact the product is unsustainably unwatchable.
Just like 6 years ago the dunk contest was phenomenal when you had Zach LaVine versus Aaron Gordon. Now it's
. And Shaq and Charles were right there commenting on the product then and the buzz around that of what everyone saw captivated the worldPeople have more options than ever before to be entertained which means if they turn on a basketball game and they see the star players sitting, or there's load management or there's not maximum effort being played on the defensive end they're going to tune into something else.
KG and Pierce have trashed the current status of the league
Tim Hardaway Sr has
Dominique Wilkins has
Chris Mullin has
James Worthy has
Oakley has
Kenyon Martin has
Reggie Miller has
Gilbert Arenas has
Robery Horry has
Robert Parish has
Ewing has
Mourning has
Mark Jackson has
Ray Allen has
Grant Hill has
And the list goes on and on. But somehow this is all about Shaq and Charles instead of a terrible product.
The data analytics and tech number nerds ruined the goddamn sport. You probably played basketball as a kid you know what happened if you pulled up from 25 ft coach would grab you by the goddamn neck off the court.

Inside the nba is not something that’s going to make or break the league. Seems people like it since the fallout after tnt lost the contract was major enough for another network to take it on. People are looking for excuses. I get it but putting it all on inside the nba is stupid.

Facts. And it got worse when Shaq joined. They clearly don’t even watch the games they broadcast, and even outright tell viewers to tune out instead of watching the second game in a double header.
Silver is a coward with no balls. They should have let these clowns die instead of saving them.

All those words for clowns LYING that we are blaming Charles and Shaq for the product being poor.
L No one said that.
The NFL product is poor. Now give me the NFL show that has personalities who tear down the NFL and tell people not to watch. Anytime I ask you guys this, you cannot answer it.

Inside the NBA has influencers who are a detriment to the league’s reputation.
The NFL is also a subpar product now….and No
NO
NO NFL show has influencers who are a detriment to the league’s reputation.
Inside the NBA is a detriment to the league while NFL shows are an enhancement to the league
