Apex reference really helped 💀😂 shout out apex

They play highlight ball, so I only watch the highlights.

Its not worth watching the nba at this point. Maybe the highlights I prefer

Shaq forever have bad takes. Nobody watching has nothing to do w play style. Its no stories and no young face of the league.

I have a solution. When a star player sits, they should have a fan enter the game a play for a quarter.

Ppl talk like they didnt have stat nerds back in 2010. The 3pt shot is so valuable now because you can shoot balanced since guys are catching a pass with 2 foot on the floor and then shuffling their feet to square to the basket, no call. They step back with 4 steps, no call. The offensive side of the ball have NO RULES basically. That's whats killing the game. You can catch a pass, hop, shoot. Pay attention, players do this all game, every game. No call. Sometimes they catch a pass and do a quick 1,2,3 footwork before the shot, it's insane the difference of percentage you can get by doing that compared to keeping your pivot foot and steping into a shot or hopping before you catch the ball.

Sports used to be for everyone. Free.

no offense low but ion wanna watch ball with a LOW overplay lol

The crazy part of this is older people have been saying this exact thing and were told their just hating

Wemby will be a billionaire just from nba contracts.

Swing an miss 😂😂😂😂

NBA is turning into WWE. WWE had 10x more regular viewers in the late 90s, but they make 10x more money now off of a smaller group of die hard fans. Both have awful regular weekly product with the WWE's PPVs being like the NBA playoffs.

I love how he missed out on Tatum

Lonzo ball swing and a miss ??? His dad made headlines for complimenting his son 😂

It's too hard to watch the damn game that's why. I wish I could purchase League Pass and have access to all games. Easy. Instead it still doesn't give me 100% access

Huh ? Paola is injured and Orlando is okay hence why they aren’t televised. Televised games have to earned

This list is terrible

Is not the three point shooting, is all of these subscriptions you need to watch the games

Shaq is always lying. No NBA coach told him they want to shoot 20-30% from 3.

This is why I watch Nuggets. They play ethical hoops through Jokic.

there is one answer DEFENSE let ppl defend again

1. A million commercials!! 2. No Defense 3. Too much 3 pt shooting and #2 4. We cannot relate to the product , we see divas complaining about bs and getting paid ridiculous amounts of money. 5. WE DONT HAVE ENOUGH TIME (money) because we are working overtime to pay our subscriptions. Boils down to it’s too expensive for a crappy product. GO ROCKETS!!!🚀

I’m not gonna lie you had me until the last part. How can you say the commission is not doing anything they’ve made changes to the league the play in and in season tournament, plus coaches challenge and all the things they’re doing to the All-Star game to try to make it competitive every year. I’m not saying these are enough but to me it looks like he’s at least trying.

game starts at 8 it really doesnt start to 8.19 a game thats 48 mins long lasts 3hours

What if the NBA limited the amount of 3's made per game? Like let's say a team can't shoot more than 35 threes a game, in the last 3 minutes of the 4th theres an exception. Just thought about it. What do y'all think?

NFL watchers still watch cable lol that’s why it’s hire, nba fans are smart and live outside of the USA 😂

It simply bc league pass and cable , it cost too much

Once people cancel their subscriptions, they will realize that they don't need them anymore and the nba will raise the price of the subscription to compensate

my bill on KZbin TV is 95.00 turn on top of that I paid $160 for NBA league pass and I don't even watch the game that I really want to watch I really think NBA League Pass sucks luckily I found the way to watch games for free all around the world

Who the fuck wants to watch teams shoot 50-60 3s… watching the celtics play is a slow fucking death .. its just 3 after 3

For me, I don't watch as much cause every 3 minutes there's an Ad. Thry telling me I had to gamble every 3 minutes, itngets annoying.

Feel our pain in L.A. where Lakers games require the Spectrum + app and a subscription to it even if you do have League Pass and cable tv! Somebody else can tell me if Clippers games require an app because after Spectrum + and League Pass and cable for the nationally televised games, I'm tapped! It really sucks. And let's not talk about decent tickets to the game being $500 +. Everyone got greedy, players and networks.

As soon as I seen the title of this vid I knew it was gonna be anti-Celtics propaganda 🤦🏾‍♂️

3point line going to get pushed back soon

It’s severely overpriced, and the politics is tiring as hell, I watch sports to leave the everyday BS behind for a while, not have more BS shoved in my face, it’s why the WNBA isn’t growing, idgaf about the player’s political ideas, I care about the sport being entertaining

crazy idea, move the 3 point line more, 3 point is to much worth, we gonna get back midrange, and maybe even more space, man I don't even know

Why if Zion a swing and then a miss, but lamelo is when he's healthy he's really good?

Load management, less televised games, Stars acting Divas, Refs acting like Divas with outrageous Techs is what’s killing the viewerships

Honestly, the game has been "figured out." Just like a video game, or any game really, to change the meta you have to introduce a new variable. Former game changing rules: Shot clock, adding/removing zone defense, handchecking, 3pt line, dribbling restrictions, tech fouls etc.

All you gotta do is make the game from half court to the perimeter more physical. The midrange will be the least physical shot in the league and balance the league

Fix league pass and enforce the flopping calls and travels etc. make the limit for awards 75+ games. Add a defensive 3rd team

It’s the foul calls for me. Seeing players get 12-16 free throws in a game from maybe 1-2 hard contact fouls is jarring. But the volume of threes a team shoots to win can’t be the problem. It’s not 2k, where you simply just need to green shots. Comparing the difficulty of passing the ball around for an entire quarter to shooting 37+% from three as a team throughout the course of a game EVERY NIGHT is ludicrous. Seeing people talk about putting a “cap” to threes per game is the stupidest idea ever.

Im too broke to afford the nba rn to keep it real. But I will watch if im at the homies or I can catch highlights. I think if the nba was more affordable more ppl would watch. All these subscriptions be adding up!

If you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything! The NBA just signed a $10 billion dollar deal...the players have never had it so good...They are one of the biggest distractions this country has to offer! They are not going anywhere! So you idiots crying about the product and how fewer people are watching...Big Freaking Deal....Don't watch...I'm sure they will be just fine without you...but please go on sheep just push any narrative they put in front of you...just like good sheep do...

Sad to see the NBA moving in this current direction. Been migrating to watching more and more NFL games simply because it’s FREE to watch! I don’t wanna pay for cable, that’s expensive and most providers are ass. Give us more free games to watch NBA! Y’all being too greedy

F that the game is boring, we can’t watch it it’s not accessible

Slight correction: the shot clock was first introduced to college basketball, because of the dominance of the John Wooden UCLA Bruins. That’s the team who the strategy was created to fight against, and it lead to many games ending in scores of like 20-10, or 17-13. So you were right about the 50’s era being when it was first introduced, you’re right about the reason why it was introduced, just off on which team and league they were playing in.

Has a lot to do with college ball too. There is no way to learn these random players every year.

I think an underrated reason is how the draft/rookies don’t really turn teams around. If you are a bad team, you basically need to hope a good free agent wants to come to your team. Look at the NFL vs the NBA, the Texans have new life and fans feel like they are contenders… contrast that with the NBA, if you get a good player, it probably won’t turn your team around, and after their rookie extension, they will probably leave for a big market.

Nba dead because no one plays defense
