For me, after Bird/Magic and even Alcindor, the NBA devolved into Thug Ball.

NBA ratings are continuing to decline despite games becoming increasingly more important. The troubling trend is extending to Game 7s, previously the most highly-anticipated events in all of basketball.

I refuse to watch these Black Athletes exploited by this Racist country. I won’t be party to the NBA “Plantation”, which is dominated by WHITE owners who Draft(Modern day slave auction), Buy(Oh the humanity!), and Trade(like livestock) Black men.
To every “Uncle Tom” player who consents to this exploitive system I say SHAME!, SHAME!, SHAME!
If the NBA were a statue it should have been the first one torn down.
Let start a movement. Let’s FREE all these poor Black men who have been convinced being paid $25,000,000.00 is worth being a slave. Let’s liberate them from their shackles and let them enjoy a normal life.
Can I get an AMEN!?
Hey, the WNBA has a leg-up on the male leagues now. They were already used to playing in front of empty stands.
There is literally nothing less important in anyone’s life (who’s not employed by the NBA) than any given NBA game, alone or in combination.
in many people’s minds, they are becoming LESS important- Many are finding out that We can live without the pc nonsense-
The peopel want SPORTS- No Sports + PC nonsense!
I give the sport’s world another 5 years or so before they finally figure this out
The NBA’s craven and hypocritical Marxism sickens me. But They switched to a completely new time of year for their playoffs and of course didn’t have the buildup of their usual regular season, with massive local attendance, to get to the playoffs. My guess is that about half their decline is from fans being turned off from their political preening and lecturing and half from the change of season and venue, without the usual season ramp up.
I gave up on the NBA several years ago because of the constant hot dogging and showing off. Other things don’t help, such as the ad noise levels and frequency, although this is the reason we really don’t do standard network programs either.
So the patriotism shown is would be a direct turnoff. I just read about it and don’t care. NFL isn’t that far behind.
Sorry, when LeBron James leads a political statement that turns off viewers to no end....
Who cares about those non-essential workers?

When does Lebron and his posse burn down Hall of the Presidents?
I've mentioned that on other sports threads. Even when I was a fan, there was a thought at the back of my mind that I was wasting time worrying about people's skill level at some stupid game. Once I stopped watching, it was really easy to see what a trivial pursuit sports titles are. And every year the cycle repeats itself. Yawn.
They should go to China where their virtue signaling will be appreciated.
Actually, studies have been done that show that people who keep up with and root for their home sports teams are happier and have more of a sense of belonging to a community..... Anything that puts a smile on your face is a good thing including your team winning..... Is it important? No, but still something positive..... Unfortunately all the major sports leagues have lost sight of the fact that sports is supposed to bring people together and not be political
“NBA Ratings Fall As Games Become Increasingly Important”.....because they purposefully and deliberately stomped all over their own reproductive organs.
