“We recognize that, in some ways, the decline of cable has disproportionately impacted the NBA,” Silver told Kendall Baker of Yahoo Sports AM. “Our young audience isn’t subscribing to cable, and those fans aren’t finding our games.

But there are still roughly 65 million homes in America that are consuming sports in a very traditional way, and even more people on network TV. Is that declining? Yes. Is that going away anytime soon? I don’t believe so. So we want to be on all of those platforms.”

"Cable has declined. And yet we still sign outdated contracts with providers so that no streaming service has all NBA games, even though every cable provider has all NBA games. We shoot ourselves in the foot and look to blame others"

What Silver should have said.
