Raise the men’s baskets to 11 feet and get rid of the 3 point line and shot.
"The NBA...ratings are down 48% in the last 12 years and they have fallen off a cliff this year and Adam Silver's solution is let's make the courts brighter...Go ask the Democrats. Be warned, once you detach from regular people in America, you will pay a price." - Colin Cowherd pic.twitter.com/V3wifBWu5a— Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) December 13, 2024
personal note: He's really not talking about the NBA, he's talking about himself. I used to watch his YouTube clips from time to time, but haven't since he said, with that brainless grin and blank unblinking stare, that anyone who doubts some leftist stoogery just can't be talked to or reasoned with so don't bother (I forget if it was about the need for COVID vaccines and masks, or the global warming hoax). I exited the vid and have never gone back.
I used to love the Celtics and the Boston Garden back in the 60’s thru early 80’s. Then I moved to LA. I haven’t cared in 40 years. Good riddance.
Basketball bores me, because it is too easy for these guys to score a basket.
People used to know what channel to find games. Now they don’t, and some need a subscription to watch.
The detachment with America is MUCH more than “load management”.
OUTRAGEOUS Salaries
OUTRAGEOUS Ticket, Concession, and Parking
OUTLANDISH Personal Behavior
CONSTANT Whining to the officials
TOO Much LIBERAL POLITICS - Kerr, Popovich, Doc Rivers, Steph Curry, Lebron James
TOO Many 3 Point attempts
LACK of fundamental team basketball
BRUTALLY BAD (Stars get all the calls) officiating
TOO MANY OLD PLAYERS 36 to 40+ years old
TOO MANY YOUNG PLAYERS - GONE are the days when an early draft choice makes a real impact - The Draft is boring
THE ALL STAR GAME used to be an event 25 years ago. It is not worth watching anymore.
Viewers, especially young viewers are cutting their cable and satellite cords and subscribing to streaming services. NBA games aren’t always part of the streaming services lineup and as a consequence, game viewership is slipping away.
The one and only professional basketball game I attended was when my Dad took me to see the ST. Louis Hawks defeat the Baltimore Bullets.
I gave up on sports when they started taking knees, but when I followed basketball something like 2/3’s of the teams made the playoffs and if that’s still true, then why even bother with a regular season.
7-footers shooting three's all night?
We do miss the Dr. J/Larry Bird era. And the Walt Frazier/Jerry West era before that.
I lost interest in the NBA when it became a contact sport and the traveling rule became a suggestion.
NBA has become thug ball.
Little defense and guys playing you wouldn’t care to have a beer with.
Isn’t there enough probation and parole officers for the players to keep the stands full??
Pro B-Ball is pretty much unwatchable...college Hoop is far superior IMHO...
Watch more hockey. All basketball is unwatchable imo.
Evidently some people are waking up to what the Amish have done to this country and are voting with their pocketbook.
The three-point shot ruined basketball.
