is Lebron the 1st superstar to leave the NBA in a worst state than he found it?

[hold this L]

Why did the numbers drop in 2019 compared to 2018? Anyone?

They're even worse this year baby boi. Historic lows all across the board.

Exactly

People want to see winners and entertainment...like the Warriors - for example.

Bron just isn't fun to watch.

He's also a coward.

[warriorfan]

You mean the Warriors and Curry, not Lebron. Because the Warriors are gone this year, while Lebron is in the finals and there are historic low numbers.

Lmao, he intentionally left out LeBrons Finals when he was not playing GS

[brutalBBQ]

Who would have thought fans don't want to watch millionaires preaching about inequality and justice for criminals.

I used those years because that is when cable TV started to decline. If you want me to use his other finals numbers here you go...

2011 - 10.2
2012 - 10.1
2013 - 10.4

Pretty comparable to his Finals vs the Warriors, for comparison sake those Finals were watched more than any Finals from 2005-2009.

LeBron made the NBA great again.

[kawhileonard2]

Yes he does a disservance to the game.

I'll take this quote from one of the 30 topics on the website-that-shall-not-be-named

Game 2 however fared even worse, a lot worse than last year's game 2. Friday's game on ABC scored around 4 million viewers, 10M down from the 14M the previous year. That is a massive 70% drop!

You're what is known as a walking

the NBA is dying y'all, this is the harsh truth that ESPN doesn't want you to know because they are so financially invested in the league. the over politicization of basketball has legit killed fan interest. and this all started with Le-WHOA-ke, this is his doing. the only superstar to not elevate the game, but destroy it

Tyler "the White" Herro is probably the league's only chance at rejuvenation in the next decade

Tyler Herro is actually very fond of black people and their movement maybe hes more "woke" than you think lol.

[Rudeboy3]

the nba is going the way of the mlb, less people in the US a caring about it and by less people i mean white people. THe nfl isn't, the nba needs to find away to pander to white people or seek international markets, which is going to be diffcult due to the time zones the games take place

[keep-itreal]

b-b-but muh virus
b-b-but pandemic, lockdown
b-b-but nfl, president debate

go woke go broke, bitches

it's WWE.. lebron's "decision" turned the league into WWE

Organic teamwork developed over years has been replaced by short-term mercenary teamwork (talent-based winning)..

the organic teamwork of previous eras would destroy today's talent-based winning.. lebron did this.. he ruined organic, quality teamwork and basketball.. the NBA = AAU.. best recruiter wins

But I'm happy for you that you enjoy it

Then there's the weak era on top of the colluding.. pure scoring is DEAD.. Jordan wouldn't need this move in today's hands-off, spaced-out dance routine

That’s a long winded way to say LeBron > MJ

Lebron is afraid to shoot and a perennial loser.. and 2 bounces away from being a 2/10 bum

It shouldn't be so easy to say that about someone you think is the goat, let alone able to back it up
