This is what NBA fans want to see

[SchoolboyC]

They playing the Knicks on TNT tomorrow night, y’all are welcome to watch

 

[bigde09]

also in the past folks had one screen

limited outlets if you wanted to see nba hoops you had to tune into tv broadcasts

now you will have full game highlights with every made basket up on youtube before the final whistle

the way nba is covered & consumed is different

..........

Now explain why other sports aren’t having this problem

 

[010101]

Now explain why other sports aren’t having this problem

nfl has significantly less games & they don't allow clips/highlights

mlb has viewership issues of their own tv broadcasts & live venue

hockey is niche & really barely in the conversation with the other major leagues

people see the problems they are looking for

Do you watch the Nuggets cause they do all that but y’all hate Jokic so I’m guessing not

Also…is Ja gonna be in the Dunk contest cause if not

So 2 teams are watchable
Doesn't make the NBA a good product

 

[Uitomy]

by your logic, the only person who should dunk is Aaron Gordon.

Nope that's incorrect, his logic is he wants to see curry and players comparable to him, shoot 3s cause they do it in a way that is entertaining and suspenseful.

And the way to counter his entertainment and suspense is by stopping the ball, dribbling the air out of it just to take an ill advised jumper?

When it was mostly Curry and Klay hitting 300-400 3’s, how did that end? With Golden State beating the shyt outta everyone. Now that teams have snipers of their own, the playing field got leveled.

If we cap how many threes get shot or eliminate certain three point spots, there won’t be much left that Curry can do to entertain you. He can shoot it from Mars and it won’t mean as much.

lol they gonna ignore this though.

3s are up and viewership is down.

It's funny watching u nikkas argue data and cold facts

This is a hilarious statement.

Viewership is not down. TV ratings =/= viewership.

30% of Americans are fans of the NBA, up from 27% in 2019, a new report finds.

NBA’s US fanbase expanded 11% since 2019: YouGov Report | Marketing Dive

Between 2016 and 2023, the number of basketball participants in the U.S. increased by 33 percent (U.S. Americans who played basketball 2023 | Statista)

Viewership is as high as it's ever been. NBA viewership and basketball participation has grown exponentially in this country and worldwide over the last 5-10 years. The only sport that has a larger global reach is soccer/football.

Furthermore, there's nothing factual or data-proven about the argument you're trying to make that TV ratings are down because of 3s. You literally just made that up because it's your gripe about today's game.

lol they gonna ignore this though.

Nikkas keep suggesting 1 or 2 teams that play a certain way to represent nba basketball as a whole.

So if 2 or 3 teams play a certain way that still makes the product garbage as a whole...what about the other 20 something unwatchable teams?

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Y'all back-in-the-day ass nxggas are not serious.

Jokic epitomizes the type of play that y'all supposedly crave for, in every way, except for the fact over the last 4-5 years, y'all have done everything in your power to shyt on him and downplay his game. Y'all haven't made threads about him saying "this is what NBA fans want to see". Y'all haven't made threads about wanting him to succeed because he goes against the grain of players jacking up 3s and doing nothing else. Y'all haven't celebrated when he won MVPs (in fact, y'all done the opposite). Y'all haven't celebrated when he won a championship (y'all were silent).

Just straight up fake ass bullshyt from y'all.

Yep you're right actually. It's also the

-Long timeouts to support shytty ad revenue
- Whiny bytchy diva players
- Terrible refs
- Ugly Jerseys and courts
- & the playing /shooting 3s for Cac Analytics
- Tanking
- Foul baiting

You’re not gonna get 30 different styles and see them clash on a nightly basis, especially when some teams are either young and don’t know what they wanna be or tanking.

College is as close as you’ll get and that’s out of necessity.

Jokic is 1 guy. If there was a Jokic on every team the product would be a lot better.

Tanking is a problem itself

Why would I wanna spend my hard earned money to see some team lose on purpose

The expanded due to outreach not because the product is better.
