re: How can they fix the NBA to be enjoyable again?

First, find players that don’t openly hate white people.

Go from there.

The NBA has a slight wokeness issue, but that's not really a make or break point.


The game just feels played out. The stories have all been told, the underdogs, the ones who overcame adversity, the chosen ones, etc.


Nba players just don't come from anywhere anymore. They don't have the everyman appeal they once had. If you look close enough you'll see a large chunk are related to ex-NBA-ers who did the whole prep school AAU circuit.

Also, nba players don't have much attachment to the cities they play in either. They all spend their off-season in Los Angeles or traveling abroad. The only time they're in the city they play is for home games or preseason.

I'm not sure the nba is to blame as much as the new basketball pipeline culture in which Nike has more power than Adam Silver.


Also, basketball is one of those sports that doesn't have as wide appeal as other sports like football or soccer because the best people have freakish athletic features that can't be taught. It's a really small pool of freak athletes.
