I think a lot of this nba viewer info is made up, although I believe this one. Gambling has boosted the NBA and the WNBA. The only real time to watch the NBA is the early playoff rounds.

I will add that I know absolutely no one that watches the nba, ever. I have it on the second tv, if it's on at all.

When those regional carriers implode and teams don't get local broadcast revenue, then what? How much of each teams' total revenue is from these local carriers?

I think this board needs to realize this isn’t the NBAs audience
You not watching doesn’t mean shite

I've actually been watching some of these Amazon prime games because the picture quality and overall is so much better than everything else.

I don’t watch. Not because I’m boycotting, but because the Pelicans have fricked my eyes out for too long.

Definitely can’t speak for anyone else, but it’s been 2 seasons since I’ve watched an NBA game. I don’t feel like I’m missing anything, but I’m also a recovering Pelicans fan. I may feel differently if I was a fan of a good team.

Draft Kings has to serve some kind of purpose this time of year.

Haven't watched since Shaq left the league. I loved the NBA growing up in the 80' s and 90's BTW
