NBA - Main

I think the unfixable problem for the NBA is that there’s not like 5 TV channels anymore so very few people really sit down and watch all 82 games. It sounds good in theory but I’m not gonna start tuning into the NBA more because the announcers are slightly better. They’re basically suffering from the same problem that all of TV has been going through, which the NFL is only immune to because there are so few games so each one is much higher stakes and they all feel like a major event. Even baseball with 162 games feels like a better product because you can barely pay attention and put it on in the background and still basically follow what’s going on. Add all of that to the fact that you basically have 0 chance in the playoffs without a Curry/Lebron/Jokic level player and it’s hard for me to invest too much in the knicks despite being a competitive team knowing from game 1 that a second round exit is their ceiling
