the ESPN-NBA deal is going to be so interesting to watch it unfold

salaries skyrocketed because of the new deal

ESPN may not be able to afford that new deal

if ESPN crumbles, does the NBA? can the NBA contract when decreased revenue hits after this deal ends?

Or does the NBA set up their own streaming service and recapture those numbers. Does Netflix or Hulu try to make a splash by signing to stream the NBA in a big way?

The NBA has kind of a sweet spot right now with a ton of highly marketable Hall of Fame level players in their prime.

The NFL is what I think takes some hits- while its nowhere near as personality driven as the NBA, its Magic-Bird-Jordan era is aging out and who exactly replaces the Mannings or Brady? The only real options right now are Wilson, Ryan and Cam with Cam being the only one of those three that seems to have a significant amount of off field charisma (check the endorsements).
