The Problem With Adam Silver Championing Social Media over TV Ratings | BEN MALLER SHOW

[@sergct47]

He’s definitely in denial I’m a long time NBA fan used to prefer it over football and now I find myself not really into it the game looks the same every night

[@cotati76]

Same here. And I’m an idiot that actually pays for league pass and I almost never watch it. I basically pay for it out of habit at this point. I use the hell outta my Sunday ticket but that’s because the NFL is a vastly superior product. The players know the league runs best when they let the actual owners run their teams. The guys in the NBA are basically holding it hostage. Last night I watched half a game and turned it off because it was a complete blowout. If they aren’t hitting threes they lose. It’s boring to watch. None of these guys have a bag. They don’t need one when nobody defends. No post game, no mid range, no layup or dunk packages. It’s either an uncontested three or an uncontested layup. And it’s always the same weak layup from every player. They should just change the name to the WNBA and get it over with.

It's more interesting to listen to people talk about the league tanking than actually watching games 😂

[@Dalvecc]

Exactly!! 😂😂😂. That's the only videos I search for now lol

[@davidcovington1046]

I agree

[@silvergold2140]

who can stand to watch repeats?? every nba game 75 yo 100 three point shots.. the so called superstars are not playing load management..

[@MRCOGITATE]

That's exactly what I have been doing for the last 5 years 😆😆 I guess everyone else is getting hip to it now too.

[@labcabinsandiego7839]

That’s how much everyone dislikes these overpaid, lazy, and egotistical basketball players

[@alexsarria2476]

The engagement is mostly negative. I'm not sure that is a positive.

[@HHHPedigrees]

Adam Silver needs to step down. He has turned the league into a joke. Used to be a die hard NBA fan and can’t even watch a game anymore

[@kevinhorry4182]

Lets all stop watching! Im curious to see what would happen

[@texastexas3759]

The NBA is just professional playground street ball.

[@davidcovington1046]

Exactly

[@pikachureynolds1110]

​@@davidcovington1046basically just Globetrotters with Less skill. I'm still waiting for these players to start spraying us with water and throwing pies in our faces.

[@silvergold2140]

please do not insult playground ball by comparing the chump nba to it... the players playing playground ball give it all of their effort.. most given the chance would be in the nba..

[@prilljazzatlanta5070]

@@silvergold2140agreed. Give me street ball

[@sg1678]

Because nobody is watching the NBA anymore… instead everyone is trolling the NBA on social medias 😂😂😂 so in that sense… Adam Silver is right 🎪🎪🎪

[@Vincent-um9pi]

At this point this aint even news

[@endzhere1638]

Im old enough to remember the conserns of fans when Adam Silver was set to take over from Stern. Fans knew he was too beta to keep the players in check. Fine line between player empowerment and player entitlement. Now players treat the game like a business, collect their cheques and instead of competitors we have business partners.

[@fredm.2699]

By looking at the score, I can imagine hiow the game went. They shot 3s.

[@IMJoshinTV]

Adam Is right , nobody sits in front of the tv anymore to watch the game. Ppl just wait for the clips to come out on IG and twitter if your not gonna factor that into your equation your just tryna paint a negative picture of the nba…

[@LoScrila84]

Nba sucks. Only about 5 teams play pure basketball!

[@dgranger9288]

The NBA is now the euro league 😂

[@meayers7]

The EURO league plays a better version of basketball than the NBA. Based on team synergy defense and ball movement. Players can actually play defense over there

[@JeffPesos-h8x]

​@@meayers7

[@Jiturra01]

Euro league is WAY better basketball

[@fredm.2699]

NBA centel is more interesting than the nba

[@TarHeels4430]

Silver isn’t a commissioner. He’s a woke activist clown. That’s bad for business.
