Silver wants a real world champion
this reminds me of how CBS/Paramount took the one show MTV had that was worth a damn that cost actual money to produce (The Challenge) and dilute it thinking wouldn't it be cool if we merged our flagship with some new shyt we're tryna do around the world along with other competition shows we already own and make this super universe of Challenges to crown a world champion?

CBS decides, "let's do Challenge UK, Challenge Australia, Challenge Argentina and even a brand spanking new Challenge USA that doesn't even involve any of the OG characters any Challenge head would know." What happened was nobody gave a shyt anywhere. They stuck to the shows they already knew. Nobody in America who otherwise would watch the Challenge watched Challenge USA. When CBS decided to enact their grand plan, they had to bring in people from the OG flagship show to make it watchable. They did one world championship. They never tried it again. The OG Challenge fans were like "just give me a version where none of these people exist" and now the flagship is even more reliant on people that came from shows that died 15 years ago.

The NBA s doing all this shyt when all the real heads want is the Sonics back. Same way CBS tried bringing in people from all these random ass CBS shows when all the real Challenge fans want is The Real World and Road Rules back.

Silver doesn't really care about American consumers anymore

All y'all complaining don't get it

The NBA is investing in an INTERNATIONAL FAN BASE

Basketball is too big worldwide to miss out on the revenue and talent these emerging markets will provide.

And Euro fans are MORE LOYAL and PASSIONATE than American fans.

It’s why whatever gap there is between The NFL & NBA within the states isn’t the end of the world.

Its wild that y'all think the NBA can continue to decline in popularity in American and grow internationally.

If the NBA does not fix its cultural and perception issues it will decline everywhere and this NBA euro will flop just like the G league, In season tournament, new all star game iterations and whatever bullshyt Silver throws at wall.

Americans like European domestic football because it’s the best players in the world competing on iconic teams.

The best players in the world play in the NBA.

I will never understand why Silver seems to miss that. Americans have no interest in Real Madrid Baloncesto and the NBA is already a draw and televised in Europe.

I think Silver is trying to kill European domestic basketball.
This, over here we (on a wide scale) literally don't give a fukk about international basketball competition unless it involves the Olympics lol. I really don't think this will turn out the way he wants it to. Nobody in America will care enough for it to matter.

Exactly. They keep talking about American interest when that isn't the point of all this.

Basketball is popular in Europe but not even close to as developed as it could be.
