The NBA put its best and shiniest presents under the tree of the American television viewer on Christmas Day and America said, no thanks.
The NBA, which uses Christmas Day to showcase their best games and talent to jumpstart their season, had their gifts returned by viewers who were less than enthused.
According to DEADLINE Hollywood:
The National Basketball Association’s day-long celebration of sports led the demos, scoring a 1.1 and 3.74 million total audience for its hours-long programming for ABC and ESPN. That’s the good news – the bad news is that’s down massively from past performances. In a season where the NBA is trying to lure back fans who were turned off by last season’s overt politics and the less-stimulating bubble version of the sport, it shows there’s a lot of ground to make up.

National Bank Association?
Racist multimillionaires who got rich playing a kids game.
Oh but I breathlessly await the latest pearls of wisdom from illiterate basketball players. Only then do I cherish my very existence.
I think if a new network popped up, and started playing NBA games from 1974 (for the whole season)...they’d out-rank the present NBA games.
My hope is that the NBA, NFL and MLB all go bye-bye. New leagues will arise from their ashes.
In the past few months I have enjoyed some vintage NFL and NCAAF. 70s or 80s NBA? That could be tempting.
Yes, who could live without their wisdom?
Or the Hollywood Lefties’ wisdom?
Ever since I retired, I’ve found I have very little time for t.v. Walking the dog, futzing around in the garage, working on a puzzle, bowling, experimenting with new food recipes, sex. We’re watching less and less t.v. Big Sports can go suck an egg. Once you starting kneeling to my flag, you can KMHWA.
Think of the entire 1972-73 New York Knicks season being telecast nightly, or the 1977-78 Portland Trailblazers. You’d start to sell Wally Walker jerseys.
Make the court longer, push back the 3 point arc, allow for more contact and possibly raise the hoop.

And not Kwansa? That is so racist! Can't believe they are still using the white cracker holiday.
If it werent for the American people a majority of them white these guys would be back playing b ball in the hood, no thanks, bite the hand that feeds you? go to china
There was basket ball on Christmas.
Who knew?
I moved past watching grown men showboating with a ball like a bunch of middleschoolers a long, long time ago.
The NBA rips off it’s fans so bad that they can’t even afford to shop at Walmart. They have to raid and loot the joint instead.
