NBA ratings are down 48% since 2012. Down 28% this year alone on ESPN. Every other sports league is setting ratings records.

Regular season NBA games just ain't worth watching anymore.
On any given night numerous star players might be out with bullshit injuries/rest/load management, etc.
Then when they do play, the shit just looks like a 3 point shooting contest where no one plays any defense.
So yeah, I can see why NBA ratings are way down.

Not enough when these players sign crazy contracts in the 100 and 200 milly range.

I'd rather see something inflict some controversy in the league. Imagine a team like the Hornets winning that shit and getting an automatic play-in on barely winning 20 games :lol:
Yes but only like 2 people each teams make that much. Even if one makes say 12 million; getting an extra million that’s a lot!! And very motivating to the overall team; give the coaches a mill too; that’s very motivating…

Wouldn’t be able to get a ticket say if the lakers only came to your town once! Or any other hot team! Home and away and that’s it; play games on Tuesday Wednesday Thursday only; no competition from football; ratings would go up on that alone! But again ratings is a farce!!!

After the Kobe Era it was pretty much over. The excitement isn't there anymore.
7 foot tall mofos shooting 3s all the time. Weak defense. Blatant travels not being called. No passion from the teams like we used to see in the old school East (Rivalries between Detroit, Boston, NY Knicks, etc.).
I really cannot sit through a whole game anymore.

Haven’t watched the NBA in years since recently and man has the game changed.

I swear every attempt is a 3-pointer. Even “bigs” are just lunching 3’s and what’s worst is they’re missing most of them too. There’s no more game in the post….

Not to mention players are inconsistent as hell. Could score 30pts tonight and score 10 tomorrow!

wtf?

Plus those ugly ass courts!

Yuck!
Man, listen. It's just terrible to watch. I can't do it. I used to watch it a hell of a lot more when I had a roommate, but when he moved out I don't know if I've watched a single game. It didn't help the situation that I didn't have TNT on whatever streaming site I was using at the time.

It is exactly as you said. Just a bunch of threes, bad threes, ugly threes and missed threes by any and everybody. It's like some 150 lb shortstop swing if a home runs on every play.

Somebody's watching, but it ain't me

You shouldn’t go back and forth with nostalgic Mothafuckas because you will to validate their feelings on the past. They’ve fallen for the marketing and there isn’t anything you can do about that.

NBA Francises Collectively Worth $138 Billion, Average Of $4.6 Billion

NBA Francises Collectively Worth $138 Billion, Average Of $4.6 Billion
The Golden State Warriors have become the second most valuable franchise in sports at $9.14 billion, trailing only the Dallas Cowboys at $10.3 billion. The Warriors are joined in the top-3 by the New York Knicks at $8.3 billion and the Los Angeles Lakers at $8.07 billion.


Collectively, the NBA’s 30 teams are worth $138 billion, including real estate held by owners and team-related businesses, such as WNBA franchises. The average NBA franchise valuation is now $4.6 billion and has a value-to-revenue multiple of 11.9, which is above all other leagues.

The NBA has a significant drop off from the Lakers at No. 3 as they are worth 42 percent more than the Brooklyn Nets at No. 4 with a valuation of $5.7 billion.

The 30 NBA teams generated an estimated $11.6 billion last year, or $387 million per club. The concert business has been a major revenue driver for NBA teams who own and control their own arena. The Lakers and Boston Celtics are the only teams in the top-10 who do not control their arena.
