The REAL PROBLEM with the NBA!

The real problem with the NBA today is how it’s presented. The contract needs to return to NBC as it’s primarily with TNT in its current role, and then you throw Amazon a bone. But get rid of ESPN, they don’t produce the Sport properly.

Bro there are more issues than just the producing aspect. Players don't give a shit about the regular season and it's become a 3 point shooting contest every game and little to no defense.

Yes those are contributing factors… in the past, there were some players that also didn’t care much for the end of the regular season… but it didn’t matter because NBC or CBS presented regular season games like they were playoff games, so the games still felt super important. ESPN does the opposite… make regular season games feel like pre-season, and make post season games feel like the 30th game of the season. Watch the East Finals and its presentation compared to the West Finals and TNT, and tell me that ESPN and TNT both present the game properly. You know that TNT is leaps and bounds better than ESPN. And because of that, ESPN’s lazy approach makes it more apparent that players don’t care about the regular season, because ESPN doesn’t either.

ESPN has done a horrible job presenting the NBA.

In all 20 years of its existence.

​@@Dbo_SportsESPN only cares about college football and basketball cause the NBA broadcast on ESPN is completely watered-down

[@Dbo_Sports]

@juliansmith1951 From the music to the Standard Picture, ESPN has always been behind NBC and TNT. And CBS in the 80’s we’re miles better than ESPN. The NBA doesn’t care, as long as they get their money.

TNT is likely to lose the NBA rights because cable is dying right before our eyes 👀

[@Dbo_Sports]

It is.. and your right. But my point was that it shouldn’t be a battle between TNT and NBC. They are natural partners as they were in the 90’s all the way up to 2002. It’s ESPN that needs to go.

@@dreamcage1801 ESPN presents playoff games as if it is the regular season. No atmosphere. No ambiance. NBC presented it in a magical fashion. So did CBS in the 80’s. ESPN doesn’t care about presentation. If the NBA takes ESPN’s money, then they don’t care about it either.

@@PGO_Gaming at least the NBA and nbc will reunite with each other likely. That'll be something.

​@@dreamcage1801Yes, but ESPN has to GO! They even ditched their music that was working from 2016-2022. Their presentation right now is TERRIBLE!
