Netflix doesn’t do Live Sports and Amazon doesn’t do poor urban sports.

Better hope OMB doesn’t cut into Twitter’s funds or you’ll be asking your momma for her Yahoo password.

The salary cap could be going down even more than expected if the deal with Tencent falls through. That's 1.5 billion split between 30 teams gone.

China Central Television (CCTV) has reportedly not broadcast a single game this season. Likewise, Chinese media conglomerate Tencent, which signed a reported $1.5 billion deal to carry games through 2024-25, no longer offers its equivalent of League Pass, which allowed customers to subscribe to the full NBA slate, per the L.A. Times.

Instead, Tencent reportedly only airs the free broadcasts it has in the past, covering one to three games per day. According to the L.A. Times, viewership for those games has held steady, although few advertisers continue to air commercials and fans have increasingly turned to illegal live streams.

To put this all in perspective, more people in China watched the 2019 NBA Finals than in the U.S.

This could have serious ramifications for both the NBA and Tencent. The $1.5 billion signed in July “could be in jeopardy,



quote:

The NBA informed teams last month that salary cap projections for the 2020-21 season have decreased from $116 million to $115 million in the wake of the China controversy, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Morey’s tweet cost the NBA in excess of $150 million, Wojnarowski reported. Those figures would drastically change were Tencent to challenge the $1.5 billion deal.


It doesn't appear the ice has thawed

You know what’s crazy? Even with the NBA cucking out to the ChiComs, their revenues still don’t come close to the NFL or MLB and neither of them get a damn thing from China in terms of media.

MLB has the major markets booming and running the league.
NBA is all crap places like Milwaukee, Toronto, Cleveland a few years back
