The Future Of The Nba After TV Mega Deal Has Expired Looks Real Real Bad

the longer you watch the same shit, the more stale it gets.

but after sitting through game after game watching the careers of wilt, russ, kaj, magic, bird, jordan, shaq, james, et al

you're worried a transformational player won't get drafted? when more people are playing basketball in the united states than ever before? with the sport at an all time high in popularity?

the money will create different issues. matters of media presentation and journalism around it; basketball player lifestyles; pricing will invariably change given monopoly; etc etc

but the game? not to worry. anthony davis. steph curry. kawai leonard. these are three incredibly unique players. more are on the way.

i disagree with adam silver on probably most everything he believes with regard to the way he runs the league.

but with regard to running the game, rule changes, understanding fans, all the little tweaks to fouls and defensive rules and the rest? ensuring we get the best bang for our buck, whatever that actually costs? i trust adam silver.

the game is in fabulous hands. you're blowing the tv deals out of proportion.

:oldlol:

[QUOTE=Bless Mathews]Haha.

Yea

I know biness.

It's like investing in a 20 light black market grow. The future is shaky. And you have to kill it to make money. 10 years from now? Shit.


Just wait skippy.

When TV doesn't get the ratings because the general public doesn't want to watch "good basketball" and scrubs are getting paid 10-15 mill a year , and all stars getting 25-30 million a year , then new TV contract comes up and they offer half, just wait what happens.[/QUOTE]

So your hypothesis is that after this [B]NINE YEAR TV DEAL[/B] runs out the league won't have any marketable stars?

In nine years all the star players will be completely different.

The only guy who is a star NOW and could still be in NINE YEARS in Anthony Davis. Everyone else is a rookie or not even in the league yet. So really you're just talking out your ass. In nine years Dwade and LeBron's kids might be colluding to go star for the Havana Sharks.

edit: This 9 year deal doesn't start until 2016-17, which means you think the league will have no marketable stars around the 2024-25 season. If you can make a halfway accurate prediction of that, haul your ass to wall street.

[QUOTE=Bobcats2013]Curry has no personality and he just drew the biggest ratings NBA has had since Jordan.[/QUOTE]


Once again.


Was it three times better ????

My goodness yall don't understand biness.

[QUOTE=KyrieTheFuture]Is this dude really asking us to make predictions 10 years into the future about a multi billion dollar business?[/QUOTE]

he is also implying that he is better at evaluating the value of the nba's tv rights, than the tv corporations who make billions by correctly valuing assets like the nba's tv rights.

In 9 years the streaming rights will be worth marketedly more and the tv rights will still be worth a lot. Topic doesn't really make sense.

[QUOTE=Bless Mathews]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.[/QUOTE]

:facepalm you're joking right? This is insanity.

Lebron is a garbage celebrity.. Jordan was GODLIKE in his time.. Lebron is still the butt end of jokes

But everyone tunes in to watch him.


There was a thread on how much higher ratings of cavs games were higher than the rest.

[QUOTE=ralph_i_el]:facepalm you're joking right? This is insanity.[/QUOTE]


I type the truth son.

What sure shot HOUSEHOULD name will be there to carry the league.

Ten years ago we knew.

Ten years before that we knew.

Ten years before that we knew.

10 years from now????

It's absolutely 100% true. By your logic, football is going to die too. We don't know the stars at that time.

This thread is stupid. Are you in prison or something and this is your pc time?

You know damm well you can;t compare the NFL to the NBA

Football will always be popular

Word.

Football is more of a team sport.

Niggahs wear helmets. On the bench half the time.

Basketball needs superstOars to carry the league. Why THE AVERAGE fan tunes in.

Football is FAR MORE exciting to the average sports fan because it just is.

People like violence. People like gladiators. People like watching men try to kill each other. It's deep rooted bruh.

3 times bruh. The TV companies just paid 3 times as much. Players salaries are going to SKY ROCKET. After this deal, the players will want the same , but without growth, three times the growth , as a business, why would you pay MORE for a product that is lacking in what the people want to see- bonafied superstOars that 14 year old girls from Des Moines Iowa could recognize.

Three time g. Do the maf what a company gotta to do to keep wanting to invest MORE money and keep growin.
