The Decline of The NBA... What Happened?

[@MrFring.]

Why are small channels always the best

[@tigerwoods373]

I think it's because when a channel gets big, they start to worry about making videos that can be advertiser friendly. Their focus shifts from making interesting and engaging videos to get a following to what videos do I need to make to have more ads want to pay for a slot. I really hate to find a small channel, follow them for many months, they blow up and all the sudden I start seeing $500 "giveaways" or they plug the shadiest or morally bad companies. It's kinda like watching someone grow up to be a bad person. It's sad to me because I think how they made content that not only I enjoyed but they enjoyed making but at some point it changed to being all about the money.

[@LoNeGhEtTo]

Why no one talking about the way referees is ruining the game? Or rather, running the game? The game is almost always decided by refs due to bad calls / non calls and there are no consequences for these calls. Giving out technical fouls left and right to players having emotions or retaliation due to ego. This is like policing with qualified immunity.

[@Jim_Boylen]

Because it's just not true and a dumb narrative. First off refs have always been bad, there's been even actual scandals in the nba because of refs. Have people stopped watching? NO. Secondly the 2020s has been the decade with the lowest amount of free throws per game since the merger. Third, with human refs and natural biases for your team you will always have a problem with the refs, it's not something easily fixed. All in all THAT is not the reason ratings dropped dramatically.

[@clevisbernier8973]

The players now behave as childdren and not as men. That's a big reason for the drop in ratings. I don;t want to see lame celebrations after a made three pointer. These players are childish fools.

[@MrRoaringRiot]

Or how players every game wanna shoot 3's like billions of times on average per game and how players becoming too lazy on defense.

[@smuj77]

In season tournament is an out and out failure. Ratings are falling more. A tournament that means nothing is dumb.

[@adrianl7320]

I genuinely thought I was watching someone with thousands and thousands of subscribers... this vid is super entertaining and definitely thought-provoking. Keep up the great work brother, looking forward to seeing you succeed.

[@danwartho4679]

Couldn't agree more ! To the creator: with content like this it's only a matter of time, keep it up brother

1. Stars who came up in the 2010s need to retire-they're the ones who started this load management stuff 2. Bring back at least some of the old dfensive rules i.e. hand checking-could reduce volume of 3 point jacking or repetitive drive and kicks 3. Trim the games down to about 60-should eliminate back to backs entirely and reduce 2 games in 3 nights 4. Something that never gets mentioned I think matters-branding needs to way improve, especially with jerseys. The 90s gets deified a bit too much, but look at some of the jerseys. The actually logos on them inspire a level of team and city spirit that today's jerseys that just say "Phila" or "Cavs" don't

Mid season tournament wtf… the nba is a mess

[@timbeatty8411]

Basketball is my favorite sport for the 30 years straight and now I can't even watch it anymore. It has been years since I've cared.

[@svmirving]

Contents amazing bro, the more you upload the more comfortable youll get with speaking but everything else is extremely good for your first few videos. keep it up man im subbed

[@tjhelton8786]

I live in Colorado. Haven’t been able to watch a nuggets game on TV in 5 years because of contract disputes. I used to watch every game but I don’t even miss it now

[@voltron1138]

Spectacular. Keep going!

[@willemcenter8649]

Get rid of the 3. Start calling traveling when it happens. Start penalizing flopping with bans from games and loss of pay

[@prlysis]

Adam Silver doesn't have the balls

[@boylan835]

NBA IS FIXED😂😂😂😂

[@layzygaming945]

Easy...the current meta of focusing on 3 point shooting, while incredibly skilful, is boring.

[@Takeadaa]

Chama🗿

[@randymarso]

This was intense

[@sityzoo8975]

In season tournament is TRASH. Larry trophy or nothing. Misinformation on your NBA Cup analysis. The ratings are in a freefall & even the players are criticizing it now. I stopped watching due to this desperate @s$ tournament. Just make the players play… simple. Decent video, though.

[@Trouble_90210]

The in season tournament and play in are trash to put it simple

[@Dylan-iu8kg]

It's declining because of refs

[@lazuardiferdi]

interesting..

[@ARMAGEDDON240BX]

😂International Basketball Association

[@DerekLaugann]

LEBRON JAMES happened. Adam Silver has zero backbone and is consumed by Wokeness!

[@whands5835]
