Why no one talking about the way referees is ruining the game? Or rather, running the game? The game is almost always decided by refs due to bad calls / non calls and there are no consequences for these calls. Giving out technical fouls left and right to players having emotions or retaliation due to ego. This is like policing with qualified immunity.
Because it's just not true and a dumb narrative. First off refs have always been bad, there's been even actual scandals in the nba because of refs. Have people stopped watching? NO. Secondly the 2020s has been the decade with the lowest amount of free throws per game since the merger. Third, with human refs and natural biases for your team you will always have a problem with the refs, it's not something easily fixed. All in all THAT is not the reason ratings dropped dramatically.
The players now behave as childdren and not as men. That's a big reason for the drop in ratings. I don;t want to see lame celebrations after a made three pointer. These players are childish fools.
a lot of the games aren't even competitive for the refs to really dictate the outcome and when they do, it's business as usual. I'm 34 been watching almost 30 years. This style of play is horrendous, I live in NY and to sit in the bleachers/nose bleeds its like $200 to watch guys run up chuck 3s , they may or not hit it. I barely see the strategy/coaching/defensive schemes. It's run up, pick and roll, switch defenders, chuck a 3 or drive to the basket.
The nba needs to realize less is more, LESS ads on the jerseys, LESS ads on the court, LESS amounts of jerseys, bring back teams wearing home and away jerseys only at home and away, so many things they have changed when they were fine before
THIS - I think it's a huge mistake changing the jersey nearly every other game. Keep the jersey, it's a connection to the team. All these special editions, colours etc take away that connection you have to the team.
I think it's because when a channel gets big, they start to worry about making videos that can be advertiser friendly. Their focus shifts from making interesting and engaging videos to get a following to what videos do I need to make to have more ads want to pay for a slot. I really hate to find a small channel, follow them for many months, they blow up and all the sudden I start seeing $500 "giveaways" or they plug the shadiest or morally bad companies. It's kinda like watching someone grow up to be a bad person. It's sad to me because I think how they made content that not only I enjoyed but they enjoyed making but at some point it changed to being all about the money.
1. Stars who came up in the 2010s need to retire-they're the ones who started this load management stuff 2. Bring back at least some of the old dfensive rules i.e. hand checking-could reduce volume of 3 point jacking or repetitive drive and kicks 3. Trim the games down to about 60-should eliminate back to backs entirely and reduce 2 games in 3 nights 4. Something that never gets mentioned I think matters-branding needs to way improve, especially with jerseys. The 90s gets deified a bit too much, but look at some of the jerseys. The actually logos on them inspire a level of team and city spirit that today's jerseys that just say "Phila" or "Cavs" don't
I genuinely thought I was watching someone with thousands and thousands of subscribers... this vid is super entertaining and definitely thought-provoking. Keep up the great work brother, looking forward to seeing you succeed.
Watching KG, Kobe, Lebron, Dirk, Wade, Iverson, Shaq, T-Mac, Carmelo, Nash, Stoudemire, Duncan, D12, Vince Carter, Agent 0, Chris Paul all at the same Time in the 2000's was incredible!!! No new young Star today has that much Star Power like the Guys back then...
Wrong. The IST and PIT create urgency, sure, but 90% of the regular season is still unwatchable. People didn’t just up and decide to stop watching the professional basketball. Silver has to understand that somewhere along the way he changed this and then maybe Stern changed that, and now we have an unwatchable product. Keeping these changes while adding gimmicks isn’t going to fix the product that the commissioner himself destroyed. He has to find the problems and deal with them.
Can we go back to the division championships mattering again? The games used to matter when losing to your division rivals means that even with a winning record you can’t get a spot higher than 5th. These tournaments are dumb and this isn’t Europe. We already had a system that solved the “urgency” issue just fine
In season tournament is TRASH. Larry trophy or nothing. Misinformation on your NBA Cup analysis. The ratings are in a freefall & even the players are criticizing it now. I stopped watching due to this desperate @s$ tournament. Just make the players play… simple. Decent video, though.
What ruined the NBA: LeBiogenesis James, Klutch, Adam Silver, and stats nerds - Magic and Bird - RIVALRY saved the NBA. Rivalry and competition being the key. Then MJ had to battle and overcome, so did Kobe who wanted to prove himself without Shaq. We saw Iverson give everything he had every night dragging himself on the court. Then enter LeBron. Refusal to compete or to expand and improve his game - basically the same player as he was in highschool - football player on a basketball court with all power and very limited actually basketball skills. Ways LeBiogenesis cheated the game: No dunk contest Super teams Buying the media to make excuses and lower the standard of the NBA Removing competition Steroids and PEDs Making participation trophies cause you can’t win Crowning yourself “goat” Bum son in the league making it fake Buying the NBA media who used to represent fans but now makes excuses for a bad product and tries to lower the standard Klutch running the league Acting above competition cause you are afraid to compete Entitled diva attitude Coach killer Sitting out national tv games It started with acting above the dunk contest cause he was scared he couldn’t win. That was when his ego became more important than the game and the fans. The super teams took the entitlement to the next level and saying you are “the goat”. NBA media used to represent NBA fans and hold players to account. That’s how the regular media is supposed to work too - just like the regular media collapsed into a joke that lies for the rich and powerful to exploit us - the NBA media are fanboys who want to be buddies with LeBron and the NBA’s rich and powerful aka LeBron and Rich Paul - and they know if they don’t lie they will be black balled - this creates a toxic feedback loop just like trump and Fox News. The NBA today is basically fox and friends for dictator LeBron. He watches it and says he will get people fired the same way as trump. Remember LeBalco sat out a Lakers Vs Celtics TNT game to try to embarrass Darvin Ham and got AD to sit out too and the Lakers won without them - then the broadcast announcers tried to credit LeBron with coaching the team to the win as they started to win and LeBalco jumped up and faked excitement - fraud. Oh then he came back the next night to stat pad against a G-League injury depleted Memphis team. Adam Silver helped this too - he is from NBA marketing so he comes up with gimmicks rather than actual make the sport better. He saw the NFL get more offense and he thought that would be good for him too. Also after the “malice at the palace” they wanted a “softer NBA” - they took it WAY too far. Legislated defense out of the game and this coupled with LeBron taking competition out on the player side - Silver taking it out on the league side - and analytics nerd GMs deciding every team should just have a 3 point shootout every night cause they don’t understand the sport or human beings and think they “hacked the game” they hacked the ratings away. These 3 factors together have ruined the NBA. Also Silver seeing ratings down - his answer is gimmicks - play in, NBA Cup, now ALLSTAR game gimmicks, that’s how marketing people see the world - gimmicks to fool people rather than just sell a good product people actually want. Baseball had analytics nerds ruin their sport - they had to ban the defensive shift and institute a pitch clock to fix it. Players emulate the best player - Magic and Bird caring SO much about winning spawned MJ to “want to fit in a place with those guys” - he said that when he won his first title. Also getting 6 cause Magic had 5. The Kobe’s quest for 6. Who says Kobe is bad cause he got 5 and not 6 - no one. If you listen to Kobe or Michael Jordan talk, you realize they are extremely extremely confident, but they’re not narcissist they love competition and they give credit to their competition when they feel their competition is worthy. They NEVER made excuses for losing and the media blamed THEM!!!!!! LeBron now pays the media to blame role players and spin a narrative that he is so great he is ENTITLED to win EVERY NBA title - or if he doesn’t it’s the role players fault, or the organizations fault cause he didn’t have enough help - or the coach, even tho LeBron is supposed to be the highest IQ player ever he can’t ever have ANY coach or teammate stick with him for more than a few seasons. His entitled attitude filters down to younger players - they think stats make them good cause LeBron has minimized winning. “Ring culture” exists in EVERY sport - this generation of NBA players are lazy entitled divas who don’t wanna compete. Rather not try than try and fail. Cause they believe their own propaganda- starting with LeBalco and it’s led the NBA off a cliff. LeBron inspires these guys to not play defense, flop, cry, and overrate themselves. The NBA should of promoted Tatum and Brown this summer at the Olympics - the current champs - instead Brown wasn’t on the team and Tatum didn’t play and 40 year old stat padding LeBron almost cost the team the gold medal then he got a fake MVP he didn’t deserve - all this prostituting the Olympics cause he can’t win an NBA title even in this watered down NBA. They changed the CBA to STOP LeBron from making super teams cause it was so bad for the league. MJ made “player empowerment” - he gave players revenue streams outside of the team with shoes and other endorsements. LeBron made “player entitlement” and “fan disempowerment” - on his watch acting like a diva and padding stats are the measure of greatness - not winning. Not any team success…. It’s cheapened and watered down the entire league. MJ pushed the league forward - LeBron hurt the league - prostituting it for his ego to push himself forward while hurting the league and the game - cheating it his entire career - when you are the face of a sport what you do filters down. Being a super diva narcissist and acting above competition has filtered down. And it’s killed the league for the fans. Maybe after team USA gets dusted in the next Olympics they will change - but it’s gonna take something like that cause they got paid and went from “plumbers and firemen” who loved the game so much they played for peanuts and worked hard blue collar jobs - to Instagram models, social media influencers, TikTok’ers, and video gamers, where these guys make more money and have the best medicine and nutrition and are so out of shape they can’t play defense or load manage a third of the games.
I think you are giving Lebron too much credit for changing the league for what it is today lol. Rule changes over many years is what really changed the league, not a single player. We are just seeing the result of it now. Players just play the hand that is dealt to them, blame should start at management of the league, not the players
Contents amazing bro, the more you upload the more comfortable youll get with speaking but everything else is extremely good for your first few videos. keep it up man im subbed
Adam Silver is not a human being. Dude came to this planet with the intent of monetizing basketball instead of moving the sport forward. All he sees is the money but thing is, if nobody watches the trash you produce then all that money goes out the door.
I live in Colorado. Haven’t been able to watch a nuggets game on TV in 5 years because of contract disputes. I used to watch every game but I don’t even miss it now
They only want to cater to a few markets. I remember a few years ago when the Lakers were horrible they kept getting primetime games. Recently they put the #1 vs #2 seeds full of young players on NBA TV. They also have made the finals feel like just another regular season game. No aura at all
I saw a post a few weeks ago. The post said the NBA is to focused on the past rather than promoting the new talent and game itself. How many NFL fans do you see constantly taking a dump on the new players/product? NBA fans constantly talk about how great it USED to be. It’s 2024 and we still promoting Lebron vs MJ or how 90’s basketball is the goated era. Meanwhile the NFL and NFL HOF players constantly talk about how great the league is today.
I miss the rivalries man and competitive trash talk. Which player thinks there’re the best American born player, which Young athletic PG thinks they’re the fastest etc
Bobby P look like LeBron in that post game interview 😂, but yea the lack of competition and capitalizing on the comp is killing the NBA , and there to many regular season games . We need to cut that down a bit.
The league is completely watered down now. Worse than ever. All the best players have to play with each other or they cry and complain every chance they get. Players have no fight in them anymore. They waded into politics like idiots and alienated half the country so it makes sense their numbers are down 48%. They deserve everything coming to them. Their big star LeBronze has been in some of the lowest rated finals of all times. People are loudly rejecting the NBA now. The casual fan has left and it’s the casual fans that keep sports afloat. Once you lose them you’ve lost. They’ve lost and can’t seem to understand why.
In season tournament and play in tournament a game changer? Yeah right for the worse. Adam Silver is the main cause being soft and weak. Sorry I respectfully disagree with you on this.

Or how players every game wanna shoot 3's like billions of times on average per game and how players becoming too lazy on defense.
a lot of the games aren't even competitive for the refs to really dictate the outcome and when they do, it's business as usual. I'm 34 been watching almost 30 years. This style of play is horrendous, I live in NY and to sit in the bleachers/nose bleeds its like $200 to watch guys run up chuck 3s , they may or not hit it. I barely see the strategy/coaching/defensive schemes. It's run up, pick and roll, switch defenders, chuck a 3 or drive to the basket.
Talk about the refs all you want. It's about these fucking spoiled players thinking that they are gods on earth.
The nba needs to realize less is more, LESS ads on the jerseys, LESS ads on the court, LESS amounts of jerseys, bring back teams wearing home and away jerseys only at home and away, so many things they have changed when they were fine before
THIS - I think it's a huge mistake changing the jersey nearly every other game. Keep the jersey, it's a connection to the team. All these special editions, colours etc take away that connection you have to the team.
In season tournament is an out and out failure. Ratings are falling more. A tournament that means nothing is dumb.
Exactly it’s plain stupidity and completely unnecessary
Why are small channels always the best
I think it's because when a channel gets big, they start to worry about making videos that can be advertiser friendly. Their focus shifts from making interesting and engaging videos to get a following to what videos do I need to make to have more ads want to pay for a slot.
I really hate to find a small channel, follow them for many months, they blow up and all the sudden I start seeing $500 "giveaways" or they plug the shadiest or morally bad companies. It's kinda like watching someone grow up to be a bad person.
It's sad to me because I think how they made content that not only I enjoyed but they enjoyed making but at some point it changed to being all about the money.
Hunger!
@@AdonisNineteen99yes, and passion!!
I remember when dunks used to get the crowd crazy. Now it's a three pointer.
1. Stars who came up in the 2010s need to retire-they're the ones who started this load management stuff
2. Bring back at least some of the old dfensive rules i.e. hand checking-could reduce volume of 3 point jacking or repetitive drive and kicks

Aside from 3, I agree w every point you've made
Mid season tournament wtf… the nba is a mess
That shit is so fucking lame. Nba so wack now
I genuinely thought I was watching someone with thousands and thousands of subscribers... this vid is super entertaining and definitely thought-provoking. Keep up the great work brother, looking forward to seeing you succeed.
Couldn't agree more ! To the creator: with content like this it's only a matter of time, keep it up brother
Watching KG, Kobe, Lebron, Dirk, Wade, Iverson, Shaq, T-Mac, Carmelo, Nash, Stoudemire, Duncan, D12, Vince Carter, Agent 0, Chris Paul all at the same Time in the 2000's was incredible!!!

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE, really really great video mate!!!

Finally. Someone who gets it. Nobody ever brings this change up but it was little changes like this that slowly killed the NBA.

well done, bro....keep grinding. Your channel is going places with quality content like this 👏🏼
I had it with the NBA when they started getting calls wrong and announcing them the next day

Magic and Bird - RIVALRY saved the NBA. Rivalry and competition being the key.
Then MJ had to battle and overcome, so did Kobe who wanted to prove himself without Shaq. We saw Iverson give everything he had every night dragging himself on the court.
Then enter LeBron. Refusal to compete or to expand and improve his game - basically the same player as he was in highschool - football player on a basketball court with all power and very limited actually basketball skills. Ways LeBiogenesis cheated the game:
No dunk contest
Super teams
Buying the media to make excuses and lower the standard of the NBA
Removing competition
Steroids and PEDs
Making participation trophies cause you can’t win
Crowning yourself “goat”
Bum son in the league making it fake
Buying the NBA media who used to represent fans but now makes excuses for a bad product and tries to lower the standard
Klutch running the league
Acting above competition cause you are afraid to compete
Entitled diva attitude
Coach killer
Sitting out national tv games
It started with acting above the dunk contest cause he was scared he couldn’t win. That was when his ego became more important than the game and the fans.
The super teams took the entitlement to the next level and saying you are “the goat”.

Did you watch them win a championship
Cable is dead

Basketball is my favorite sport for the 30 years straight and now I can't even watch it anymore. It has been years since I've cared.
this is why i was gunning for a celtics/timberwolves nba finals, but idk if it’ll ever happen the way minnesota messed with their team chemistry
Would have been Cinema

So True!!!!!
So, you're saying that, without the drama, the actual game is actually boring?
Get rid of the 3. Start calling traveling when it happens. Start penalizing flopping with bans from games and loss of pay
Adam Silver doesn't have the balls
The nba rankings are tanking? What are nba rankings? Do you mean ratings? If that's the case why are the tv contracts the highest?
The NBA needs less adds in General. We want to see player on the bench.
Keep up the great videos
This why I love my grizzlies we there shit talking every game💯💯
Spectacular. Keep going!
LEBRON JAMES happened. Adam Silver has zero backbone and is consumed by Wokeness!
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
🤡💩
Define woke
Not a LeBron fan but people like you are terrible for the league
The moving around too much impacts for sure tho
ALL STAR GAME BEEN A JOKE SINCE 2013 WHEN KOBE LOCKED LEBRON'S ASS UP.
I miss the rivalries man and competitive trash talk. Which player thinks there’re the best American born player, which Young athletic PG thinks they’re the fastest etc
Nba needs to cut playoff teams and cut games. Start games after Christmas and only have 40, with 4 teams per conference in the playoffs
Shorten the season a bit and add a tournament for the championship where the earlier rounds are best of three and then best of seven towards the end
Bobby P look like LeBron in that post game interview 😂, but yea the lack of competition and capitalizing on the comp is killing the NBA , and there to many regular season games . We need to cut that down a bit.
The league is completely watered down now. Worse than ever. All the best players have to play with each other or they cry and complain every chance they get. Players have no fight in them anymore.

Once you lose them you’ve lost. They’ve lost and can’t seem to understand why.
Easy...the current meta of focusing on 3 point shooting, while incredibly skilful, is boring.
Um…how about reducing the number of games in a season?
The games suck because everyone's just throwing unlimited 3s a game
There's too many NBA games
First the season is just too long
They tryna hype up wembanyama too much he won’t be the superstar they want him to be.
Cable tv is on a decline because it is too damn high and now networks are dropping out of the cable subscribers
Hockey sounds so much more fun.
The decline started when kobe retired and no was able to fill those shoes.
The in season tournament and play in are trash to put it simple
its so unwatchable to me. used to love b ball
The players became overpaid, lazy divas. The time of Jordan, Kobe and Shaq was the best. Men hungry for accomplishments rather than money
Well they have signed new TV broadcasting deal, so they have money more then before.
Wievership decline is not directly NBAs problem.
This was intense
NBA IS FIXED😂😂😂😂
Great video but the nba cup is garbage. Wtf they playing for? 500k? Cmon. The winner should get a guaranteed playoff spot. Or a series bye. Money?
In season tournament and play in sucks
It's declining because of refs
In season tournament and play in tournament a game changer? Yeah right for the worse. Adam Silver is the main cause being soft and weak. Sorry I respectfully disagree with you on this.
interesting..
😂International Basketball Association
Nba, spongebob, Nintendo, and rap music downfall needs to be studied frfr
Chama🗿
what happened? lebron happened thats why...
Alex Pereira has more charisma than the NBA top stars and he doesn't speak English. Let that sink in.
