Lot of solid stats and figures in this article. It doesn't paint a good picture of the NBA.

AB can blame their far-left turd roller butt buddies for the predicament they find themselves in. They were the ones who started the weaponization of boycotts against big businesses. The sh*t only hit the fan recently when Americans figured out we could make boycotts work for us too.

I’ve given up watching all sports.. If the sport not woke, the ads are..

I stopped watching all professional sports decades ago.

TV contracts are written years in advance, no? With beer there can be instant fallout; with NBA it might take years.

I watch some college basketball but no NBA, not even in the Jordan years.

Jordan 1998 Finals viewers = 33.35 million (adjusted)
LeBoring 2020 Finals viewers = 7.45 million

Incredibly, this is a 4.5X decline. Had no idea it was this bad. NBA peaked in the 90's.

Good read. Silver looks like a white odumbo with jug ears. Something creepy about him.

And having lebrainless be the face of the nba is about the dumbest thing ever. The biggest crybaby to play the game.

Yeah 2020 was the nadir for the NBA. But you'll have to go back decades. Michael Jordan played for the love of the game.

Nowadays, everyone is just trying to get paid. So they're no longer "hungry".

Who watches the NBA?

I think I watched 2 games of the finals and that was because of Nikola Jokic.

NBA - large men of color occasionally exerting themselves in a pretend competitive performance. Unwatchable by persons with an IQ over 83.
