The NBA will overtake the NFL in the future

[who_better_than_me]

Didn't the NFL get record ratings last year?
And then break them again this year?
The Super Bowl was the 2nd highest rated of all time.

Nah NBA will never catch up. Football is too ingrained in American lifestyle.

This.

i also think the nba would benefit from not overlapping their schedule with the nfl. Like what if the nab season started in February and ran through the summer . Folks really enjoyed the bubble season that was played in the summer. Basketball during the summer was dope

Bump this thread 1 year after Lebron retires.

This is quite facsinating in my opinion!

Survey based on 1020 individuals

And 25% admitted were not sports fans

there has been multiple surveys that confirms that young people gravitate to nba more

Not anytime soon. NFL already has a chokehold on American sports and with the addition of all the superstar 26 and under QBs, high powered offense and parity that's not gonna change. After Lebron is gone the NBA will go through another drought like they did from 98-01 when Jordan retired.

I refuse to believe that the MLB has nearly the same following with young people as the NFL. In fact, I bet soccer has more young fans than MLB.

if this survery was true MLB wouldn't be changing the rules every single year

Wow crazy that MLS has already passed the NHL

the second they can throw some real money out there it’s gon be a problem — especially for baseball

I think it's the opposite. I think the moment to moment NBA game is getting worse. The story lines in the off-season generally more interesting that the vast majority of the in the moment game outside of the playoffs. It looks like the NFL is starting to get into the off-season trade fukkery bag which is what the NBA had over it for awhile now.

Never. NFL Football will only get bigger now that gambling is becoming legalized. The biggest threat to the game was the concussion issue, but they beat that...

TMZball could only wish. MACtion and a Thursday Jags v. Dolphins game gets more viewers then damn near any game that's a non-Finals game, and even that's pushing it. Super Bowl doesn't matter who's in it. TMZball fans worry about a Milwaukee v. Orlando Finals

Who is paying these players’ bills I understand it’s ad/TV money, but who tf is watching on TV like that?

Maybe because the Royals have been sorry for so much of my life, but idk ANYbody who gives a fukk about baseball to the level the big players get paid
