Okay so Complex says it, but TV ratings don’t.
Yes.
The media and social media pumps up the NBA, but the ratings say it’s in a stagnant place if not worse in regards to actual viewership.
It’s essentially all a driven campaign to try and increase interest in the league due to the bloated TV contract with ESPN and Turner and the profit sharing in the CBA.
With chord cutters increasing daily the players and teams are looking at a drastic reduction in revenue to be shared following the contracts expiration. The league is aware of this and so is every person who is keeping up with it. ESPN is by far the most expensive channel in a cable package and it’s essentially mandatory. It costs so much because of ESPN’s rights for every sport/conference with MNF and the NBA being two of the biggest.
Come time to re-up nobody will pay the amount the NBA has now. Salaries will have to decrease and the league will shrink in regards to revenue. It’s a forgone conclusion at this point barring anything drastic and anyone thinking otherwise is blind or in denial.

The NBA is to young black men as to what celebrity tabloid gossip journalism is to white suburban moms.
