The irony in Silver's comments is that some posters on this site essentially help prove his point by always pointing to other methods of people watching the games when pushing back against ratings talk.

Highlights are one of them.

When have highlights ever been used against ratings talk?

When have highlights ever been used against ratings talk?

It’s another option that people including the younger generation use to watch the games

Yao coming over was a big deal

Its funny how life evolves. If Shaq made those mocking jokes now. He would've been suspended 50 games, lol

Just looked over Lamelo Ball stats over the last 3 seasons...college players have been playing more ball than him over the last three years. He won't be ready if Charlotte ever gets to the playoffs.

Yao was nice. Those nagging foot injuries shortened what should've been a longer career. Still made the Hall.

I say this in a respectful manner - from LaVar to Tina to Lonzo to LaMelo, they’ve all suffered in some capacity with their health, so for as talented as LaMelo is, I don’t ever have faith him in staying healthy enough to meet whatever expectations there are for him.

There’s something broken in their family’s genes.
