All this is true but the problem he’s talking about ain’t started with this season.
Adam Silver: The pay TV system is broken, the NBA has to do more to attract younger viewers
- Thread starter Rembrandt Brown
- Start date
All this is true but the problem he’s talking about ain’t started with this season.
Shit I’m kool with Hubie Brown, let him do the NBA on NBC Sunday games....
Lebron choosing the lakers killed my viewing.
I went from watch damn near every game in Miami and Cleveland to four last year in La.
I get up at 3:30am so them late games tough.
Shit when the lakers played the pelicans it was a 8:30pm game, man we didn’t get home until after 12am.
so I do understand the time problems...
who wanted to watch Kawhi and the raptors...
now him and the clippers probably get plenty of views(only to tune in and he don’t dress out)
This is valid as hell because think of all the sideline incidents the past few years with white dudes chirping hella reckless at players. Definitely been an uptick and Silver’s worst nightmare is one of the players going Ron-Ron again and it’s. But these sideline bros are egging it on and eventually that privilege card is going to be revoked because these boys have money and can afford to lose a bit to put an end to the in-game bullshit.
Half of the league has played on TNT.
This is not 1995, you don't need him to be in New York to be a draw, Lebron James did two stints in Cleveland and is this generations most famous player. If that the fucking case the NBA would have fixed the draft for him to be drafted by New York and the suits in Secaucus know more about this than both of us.
Your mindset is part of the reason why the NBA is in the state it's in now, just stack all the best talent in the big markets and fuck the rest and people have gotten tired of that predictable shit along with everything else.
In New Orleans, Zion has a low-pressure, low expectation environment and can heal up, get healthy and think about getting his weight in check.
In New York, your media would be probably rushing him back too fast and would be placing championship expectations on his ass before year damn 1.
And you're still talking that medical staff bullshit when it's been documented that the entire franchise's medical staff and front office is different from last year. That nigga got hurt because he's 285 and coming down with the force of an anvil. No doctor anywhere can prevent an injury when that's your weight and playing style.
Ratings are affected by time zones no doubt; and superstar players affect ratings; but the reality is there is too many games to have consistently high ratings; its not possible in this day and age with the current rating module; if they want higher ratings, the only solution is to cut games; and the end of the day all of the other shit is just fodder......
But the nba been trying to spread the luv. The last years of David Stern he made it a goal to not have the face of the nba just one person.
man at the end of the day, Magic, Larry, Mike, Shaq, Kobe, Lebron....are just different
we gotta let the youthmen do the best they can, far as carrying the league....
all that competing against the NFL and expanding they out China, African etc ain’t paying(well don’t seem like, if his ass Is complaining)
If the other NBA teams could make more money from all the best players playing in NY or LA, all the best players would be playing in NY or LA.
Curry was spectacularly fun. The imitators are ruining it.
Three point contests are less fun than real basketball games, especially when the shots are not falling.

I really doubt announcers have that much of an impact on ratings.
I actually like JVG & Mark Jackson, but I've never gone over to somebody's house to watch a game because of the three man crew or seen a match-up advertised and thought "That looks like a great game but I won't watch because so and so will be an analyst."
The thing about achieving a very broad audience is everyone's tastes can't be catered to. You'd probably prefer a Desus & Mero vibe but more people would hate on that than the status quo. (Again, in the end, it probably matters very little either way.)
I'm talking about the local crews not the national telecasts
Idk who desus and metro are
Okay. Still not even a drop in the bucket when we're talking about the big picture with ratings.
Hightlight + right click + search Google for is your friend.
Because that's in their best interest! Not the NBA's! The point was that the small market owners do not want or benefit from such a set up.
And obviously the four players you named are not "all the best players" (PG, GTFOH) and you conveniently ignore NY having none of the best players.
Sooooo. Ain’t it the trainers job to get him down in weight not up. Nicca got fatter.
mans don’t compare him to no other rookies that need worry about that themselves just to stay in the league. Not the same. That’s box office.
At this point the overall interest trumps that.
And no not ignoring. Just poked a lil hole in your statement with some sarcasm.
And those are the 4 best players.
Man when this theme song and intro came on, my entire household would shut down and head to the TV.
They don't have basketball games like this anymore.
I miss this era of the NBA.
Where is your proof, apart from the eye ball test that he got fatter?
Are you looking at his scales?
You're coming from an emotional state with this shit
You want him in New York but since he aint you just wanna trash him
Not trashing him. Just trashing the team he stuck with. I feel sorry for the kid.
and the Only thing a scale will help you with is the decimals. His weight gain is fucking obvious
So you actually think the New York Knicks is a better situation?
Than the pelicans?? Hell to the yeah.
That makes no sense.
The Knicks just fired their coach and have horrible ownership and stars are avoiding them like the Sterling era Clippers.
The Pelicans and Gayle Benson actually listened to her critics and made changes, turning over nearly the entire front office and medical staff and built new facilities.
These are noted facts not emotional rants.
I said the pelicans. Most stars avoided it. But none never ran from it.
It’s only a few teams worst. And pelicans is one of them.
And a new medical staff don’t mean better apparently
Paul George is a top 4 NBA player? Okay, have a good night, don't set yourself on fire with whatever you're smoking.
All 4 are the best 2 way players in the game.
harden. Trash. Choke master.
greek freak. Single handedly shut done by the claw.
Kd. Great scorer? Yes. Player?? I ain’t seen it yet. He proved about as much as javelle McGee did in golden state to me.
And not to mention. Kd is in ny.

Damn what was I thinking.
Kd Also. Ny.
I don’t consider him the best player. But I’ll give him best scorer.
NBA 2018-19: Top 5 two-way players from last season
Let's take a quick look at the best two-way players in the NBA during the 2018-19 campaign.

It's predictable and it looks fixed. You see blatant traveling calls right in front of you that I can see from my goddamn TV and the referee is there sitting right there and doesn't call shit
There is an Instagram page dedicated entirely to blatant travels
the only game I've watched all year was a game I got free tickets to go down to the Cavs game and I left at halftime. I aint watching this bullshit
