Rating for big one-off games can still be good.

But day-to-day ratings are way down because there is far, far more competition in entertainment.


I posted tons of exact evidence and numbers that showed that day-to-day ratings are down for EVERYTHING. You point out that really big events can still get good ratings, and you're right....but we're not taking about really big events, we're talking about day-to-day shyt. And that's down for everyone.

How is that argument so difficult to understand?

Ummm.....that's what I'm trying to find out about you. How is it so difficult to understand that MJ was more box office than Bron?

You're the one who rather talk about everything else but those two examples. Instead of just accepting the fact, you rather go down the 55" tv rabbit hole to cape for Bron.

Bullshyt. Lebron was #2 in the league in road attendance in his ROOKIE season, when his team was coming off a 17-65 year and everyone knew they weren't shyt. The only team in the entire league that beat him was the Lakers with Shaq/Kobe teamed together.

Cavs were DEAD LAST in the NBA in road attendance just a year before Lebron got there. They had NO national pull at all. Even in 2013 with Kyrie there they were fukking 25th in the NBA in road attendance. No one gives a shyt about the Cavs if they don't have Lebron.

Now Lebron has led the league in road attendance 7 times in his career already. Even though he's played 3/4 of his career on a team with no pull.


Kobe has only led the league in road attendance 4 times in the 12 years that he's been the leader of the team. In 2008-2010 when they had Phil Jackson and a stacked front court, and in his retirement year in 2016.

And that's despite playing for the Lakers the whole time, a team that grew a MASSIVE national fanbase long before Kobe got there. Last year the Lakers were horrible, there was no Kobe, they had no star power at all, and they STILL finished top-5 in the NBA in road attendance.


Kobe doesn't sell out arenas. The Lakers sell out arenas. The only special season he had was his retirement tour - otherwise, he hasn't done shyt for sellouts that any Lakers team hadn't already been doing before him.

No matter how stupid I think a Kobestan argument can get, an even stupider one comes.

No one on The Coli has EVER before tried to claim, "All that matters is what Chinese people think." :wtf:

Yet Kobestan thinks they can trump any facts with, "But I've been to China!" :mindblown:

ESPN says that Kobe is by far the most popular athlete in China. He's been running camps there since 1998, visits every single year, set up the "Kobe Bryant China Fund" and donates money when natural disasters hit.

Also, they say that Chinese people can't emulate Lebron, so they like to idolize a star whose skills are easier for them to copy.


Problem for you? Same article says that while Kobe #1 in China, he's only the #11 athlete worldwide. Lebron is #2 worldwide, behind only Ronaldo, even ahead of Messi.

You lost. :yeshrug:

Half the endorsements, not even a third the twitter followers, fewer facebook likes, fewer google searches, fewer jersey sales, fewer shoe sales, worse television ratings, worse road attendance...he gets destroyed in EVERY measure.

Who's the most famous athlete in the world?

The best part about the article (May 2016), is where they list "Greatest Moment."

Lebron James: Hasn't happened yet. :ohhh:

Ya'all are becoming borderline flat-earthers with this shyt. :russ:
