How about growing overseas? That doesn't count? Just cause you're friends with a bunch of retards doesn't mean ball is on the decline. This finals was the highest ratings since Jordan

It's not on decline.
It has to grow though to cover all the money.
Period.
We got lucky the past 30 years.
Sure fire players/teams that made NBA grow exponentially.
Always someone to pass the torch.
Bird and magic to Jordan. Jordan to Kobe Shaq and bron.
For the AMOUNT OF MONEY advertisers, TV companies and teams WILL HAVE TO MAKE to cover all the HUUUGGGEEEE contracts coming, to be PROFITABLE, the ratings have to be TRIPLE the best ever.
:facepalm
In 10 years what Kobe, bron, bird magic Shaq will carry the league to NEW HEIGHTS.
ALL OF THOSE PLAYERS WERE HOUSEHOLD NAMES BEFORE THEY PLAYED A GAME IN THE NBA.
Maybe not Jordan, but he became goat.
The amount of money the league has to make to grow depends on triple TV ratings.
Just wait. It's gonna get bad.
Re: The Future Of The Nba After TV Mega Deal Has Expired Looks Real Real Bad
the game will be fine and better.
Honestly, the NBA completely dominates the future which is social media which is very important and something that has given the game an even broader fanbase and an edge towards other sports.
also like it or not but the lebron free agency of 2010 brought a lot hype to the league. after that summer everybody started talking bball.

Because I don't poll five of my friends and use the results as a basis of predicting what will happen to/in a league as complex as the NBA in ten years...
You could be right (I doubt it) but you could very well be right.
However, your premise rest on the reasoning skills of a hamster.

I thought this whole thread was dumb, but this takes the ****ing cake and the brownies.
Re: The Future Of The Nba After TV Mega Deal Has Expired Looks Real Real Bad
And beyond that, how could you possibly say that Durant/Westbrook do not form the greatest duo in NBA history? Or that Leonard/Aldridge do not go on to win multiple championships? Or that Harden/Dwight do not go on to battle Curry/Thompson for years to come generating publicity and the next great NBA rivalry?
How do you know that Blake Griffin and Anthony Davis don't battle for the next 7 years over NBA MVPs? Or that Atlanta and the Heat and the Cavs and the Celtics and the Bulls bring about exciting and competitive Eastern conference playoff basketball?
Since we are predicting ten years down the line, how do we know that Philly, NYC, and LAL won't draft franchise players and compete in trans-national Finals?

What are you 19 bruh?
Magic and bird played in a SUPER HYPED national championship game.
Shaq was everywhere. On Roy Firestone show. National televised games at lsu. To see this freak of nature.
Kobe and bron were super super super hyped high school players boaf gonna be the next Jordan.
Everyone knew who they were before they played a game.
Jordan hit game winning shot in championship game.
Are you serious? Are you that dumb? Or that young? ALL OF THEM WERE HOUSEHOULD NAMES BEFORE THEY EVEN PLAYED ONE GAME IN THE LEAGUE.

Aight. I guess yall are just missing it completely.
You need MORE THAN JUST GOOD BASKETBALL to get where the NBA has gotten.
You need polarizing, marketable, once a generation type players.
And THREE TIMES MORE TO COVER WHAT EVERYONE IS SPENDING TO JUST GET THEIR MONEY BACK.
yea. It'd be just fine if this record TV deal , three times the previous one wasn't in place.
It has to make A LOT OF MONEY. A LOT AND LOT OF MONEY.
Smh.

FOR BASKETBALL FANS. If you didn't watch basketball, you did not know them. You act like things are any different now vs then. If you don't give a **** about ball you don't give a **** whether it was 1970-2020

THE AVERAGE SPORTS FAN DEFINITELY KNEW WHO THEY WERE.
Not just hoop fans. HOUSEHOULD names bruh. Before even playing one game.
Major TV news stations doing pieces on bron and Kobe when they were in high school.
After reporting about a mass killing or whatever, "and next the story of a 17 year old from Akron Ohio trying to be the next Jordan "
THATS FUCCIN HOUSEHOULD shit
:facepalm
Re: The Future Of The Nba After TV Mega Deal Has Expired Looks Real Real Bad

Lebron
Kobe

I see the point you're trying to make and you could be correct (I don't think you will be) but you could be, but if you haven't noticed every generation has had a player or two that completely captures the NBA and to less of a extent the world by storm. History repeats itself and the NBA is no different
some player wether its Durant, Davis, Curry, Griffin, Harden or some kid sitting on a college roster now (Just a hypothetical btw) comes into the game and garners the attention and media alot of greats from the past generations did. Someone is going to stake their claim for best of this generation and arguably into the top 10 of all time lists. Even if talent is at a all time low someone is going to be considered head and shoulders above the rest of the best of that generation. So don't worry the NBA will be fine as long as the NBA hell even basketball in general can keep pulling young people to play the game and practice their craft the naturally talented or gifted in the game will find a way to show how good they really are. Full disclaimer its the 4th I'm pretty drunk and this is a little long winded feel free to argue what you dont agree with.
Re: The Future Of The Nba After TV Mega Deal Has Expired Looks Real Real Bad
We just had the most talented draft in recent years,I'm pretty sure there will be tons of fresh faces, superstars and a new age of the NBA to rise soon!
