There’s only so many different ways to dunk a ball. When they start allowing and1 type styles , then it will be revived. That’s their only hope.
Exactly they should just allow them to not dribble and just run holding the ball

:pachaha:

Steph having an historic performance doesn't mean the league as a whole isn't boring.
Thunder on a 12 game winning streak, Knicks on a 9 game winning streak. Bron is still Bron, Ant is must see TV, Jokić putting up insane numbers. Again if this is boring to yall, yall need to go ahead & watch porn then.

That And1 style as much as I loved and missed them days aged like wombat shyt breh :dead: . Imagine trying to do all those "Half man/Half amazing" moves to a elite shooter that has a passing regime of a military sniper and the reflexes of a cheetah.

Dudes can bust them ankles if they want :francis: .
Lol that’s a high brow perspective, which operates on standardized regulations.

If you put 5 nba nikka (pick ‘em randomly), vs street nikkas that can razzledazzzle with the crossovers, deceptions. It will be a fun match to watch. Cuz I know how it would play out.

The nba nikkas will try the official moves. The and1 nikkas will try theirs.

Stage is set.

But when one of the nba nikkas lands on his ass, his team mates gonna get nervous.
And will try their own moves :mjlol: to show they too can entertain..which will fail with an epic thud.

At least of 2 nikkkas will try to dunk. But there will be hecklers there To humble em quick on some sit your ass down type sh1t. Nikka you 6’10. Ain’t nobody impressed with your dunks. The fucck is wrong you.

And1 nikkas will dance gloriously to blowout. And the nba will die.

The end.

But they said the MLB and NFL broke ratings records this year
he means the NFL is fine. MLB didn't break records, it had a 5% increase year over year

large part of it is the Yankees are good again

Ngl. I think part of that is, which I’ve always felt….
It’s not dying, not even a little bit, people are just dramatic. Just signed a record TV deal, had their highest attendance ever last season, team values higher than ever, social media engagement higher than ever

Ratings are down in the U.S. for several reasons but it’s not the first time the NBA’s had a dip. The league isn’t going anywhere
I think the TV deals are gonna fuçk em in the end. W/ that and spreading all the games over different channels and streaming platforms, AND w/ the blacking out even on League Pass it’s getting harder to watch games.

I'm sure not even the most ardent supporter would say things are at a peak right now
But the league will be fine
A new face will rise
Its happened time and time again

Idk. The league ratings has been going down YOY since 03’. W/ Bron leaving in a few years, and no new star established yet, it may be tough

Just saw an article this morning about how the NHLs winter classic drew their worst ratings. I feel the NBA has lost ratings but no different from basically everything not football. Particularly NFL and college.

There's just a ton of noise and a particular set of outrage journalists that love stirring the pot and driving the narrative.

Youngest guy on my staff doesn't have cable. Pretty much only follows his Alma Mater KU in terms of going out of his way to watch games. He basically just gets his fill of highlights of all sports football included from Twitter and tiktok.

I've heard the NBA has strong social media impressions/views.

I think it's also an era where the younger audience isn't connected to their local/familial team. They just like players. The games available don't feature guys you like. You don't watch and just search out the clips
