NBA has been on a downfall. I know a LOT of big basketball fans that totally lost interest in recent years. They now live for College basketball. They always had, but now they have little to NO interest in the NBA. Now im 45, so im talking about friends of mine who watched the NBA for decades... they NO longer watch it. I dont watch it either. I lost interest. Add on the whole Bronny BS this year, its a joke to me. Its not what it was in the past. I grew up on 80s and 90s NBA. Totally different game. No comparison. Players did NOT flop. Players were MEN. Players played most if not ALL the games. Go grab some baseket ball cards from the 90s. Yes there were injuries. But look at the back of the cards. Look at how many games the players played. You got players in the current NBA who want to play less games.... yet these guys are getting paid like never seen before.... I feel for the fans who spend a lot of $ to go see their team, only to see their stars sitting on the bench. I just cant watch the flopping and laziness of the game. You did NOT see that in the NBA i grew up on. Even in the 00s, the game was good. Id say in the last 10 years ? or so. Things have changed and continued to change and now its so far from what it once was, im not sure there is any way to save this league. But as the ratings show, there is a reality to the "changes" the league has made in recent years. Its NOT working. Ill be happy when Lebron retires and some of these current diva's retire and we get to see and focus on some of these younger players. Anthony Edwards being one of them. I try thru out the season to watch the NBA. I prob tried to watch about 25 games total. Each time, i had to change the channel. The flopping got to me, its unreal these guys acting like sallys. These guys claim they are better than players of the past ! Try playing Rodman, or Lambeer. I want to see these guys try to deal with a prime SHAQ. Its a lot of trash talk from this current league. Yet these guys stub a toe and they are out 4-6 weeks. Hell look at the Clippers ! How many millions have they paid Leonard and George etc ? Just saying. Its a bunch of Diva's, they have little interest in the game and all the interest in the world for the fame it brings. Call me old and grumpy, but the NBA today has NOTHING on the game of yesteryear. Its now a 3pt contest and a lot of flopping and arguing with refs. There is no fluidity in the game. Because the whistle is blown every 30 secs. You want to watch basketball, watch College. But they are starting to ruin that sport with the portal shit. When Uconn's Dan Hurley is more concerned about getting a player who he knows will simply stay, yet alone play. Theres an issue brewing in college basketball. I hope they dont ruin what they got with all this BS. But it maybe already too late.
This is a result of the AAU amateur system of basketball ruining a lot of young players in the USA and the influx of vastly better-trained foreign players from Euro League basketball.
Hey Old Grumpy, the players in the past flopped like crazy. The Lakers Center, Vlade Divac, now a GM somewhere, was king of the floppers. So was Bill La,mbeeir, Danny Ainge, Paul Pierce, on and on. Back when you watched they didn't even have the rules against flopping that they have today. Google The 15 Worst Floppers in NBA History. They all mostly from your "halcyon" era. I'm sure you also walked to school everyday barefoot in a blizzard uphill both ways back in your day. BTW, the college game sucks because of the unlimited transfer rules, playing the players, and the advent of the one-and-done greed head. You can see 17-18 year olds play at your local high school down the street.
I absolutely love the chemistry between Mr. B., Shaq, Kenny & E.J.! I am very upset they will be done. They all exposed their true opinions. Their unfiltered candor & even sharing sad personal experiences is what made this show incredible! Nothing shocks me now in the climate of today, but I'm still very upset over the end of this show!
Yet sports has a larger audience than all the other shows. Especially the NFL. The rights fees have soared, but the production costs are minimal compared to a TV Show like FBI or Law and Order.
It's all speculative the NBA has the youngest audience among all the leagues it's viewed as very healthy and "potentially very profitable" moving forward and the woke stuff is much more popular among younger people the life of this 11 year contract will be in theory very good for the broadcasters especially Amazon
It's best that TNT and the NBA part ways. While people love EJ, Kenny, and Charles, they will not be around for the entire 11 year deal. For the most time of the deal, they will have left by then. You can't compare the current show to what it will be 11 years from now. The NBA costs too much for them, so it's time to move on. And if TNT focuses more on their other content and make a profit without turning into another MTV, that's good for them and other networks. It should be that the NBA needs TNT more than TNT needs the NBA.
You’re wrong about the CEO for TNT And Warner. The NBA has been diminishing returns for years. He sees the trend and is getting out while he can. It’s a smart business move. Where it’s not smart is you lose the marquee of a large sports brand but again, visuals aren’t his responsibility, bottom line is.
@@DaryMatera I think it's because they want to be a major player in sports broadcasting, to say they have broadcasting rights to 2 of the 4 major sports, and yes, regardless of what most people think, the NHL is a major sport
@@bruceellenburg429 Point is they don't need to pay a nickel in broadcasting rights to have a show like Inside the NBA. You think this very podcast pays the NBA a dime?
How about Silver's arrogance wanting triple the fee? if that in fact is the correct number. I don't care one way or another, stopped watching years ago, with no intention to return.
Stephen a smith was fired by espn until Skip bayless saved his job and how does stephen a thank him by saying skip isn't going to be welcome back on first take. sas is an ingrate he called Skip his brother i wouldn't want a brother like him.
Stephen A gave a very rational and logical reason for his feelings, essentially that First Take has moved on from it's original incarnation, and that his career has expanded into other areas, including podcasts and acting on General Hospital.
I stopped watching TV in 2007. If I wants to find out anything about sports I go to a channel like this one. Or for to a web site to see some highlights. The prices of a ticket to see a game in person is ridiculous. Sports in general I think is dying.
I hate the modern day NBA but still watched Inside the NBA. Numerous Emmy awards and they get rid of it. I'm not sure I'll ever watch the NBA again now.
You probably won’t. I stopped warming in 2014 and only watched any NBA at all deep into the playoffs. The last decent series imo was in 2021 anyways so you won’t be missing anything. Also consider the generational gap. It’s hard to get into players young enough to be your children.
LOL. Recall that George Lucas spit in the face of fanboy outrage and put Jar Jar in subsequent movies just to show the world who's boss. Meanwhile, who knew that Mark Hamill was such a woke d-bag.
TNT couldn’t afford the NBA and they didn’t have the reach of Amazon. Inside the NBA probably costs TNT another fifty million. The NBA is a depreciating brand, losing value, not gaining value.
Maybe, but I doubt it. It was originally just a routine halftime highlight show. Dirt cheap. And every local NBA city TV and radio station has a pre-game and post game show that they program on the cheap. Just a few mikes, a camera, and a local yapper.
@@DaryMatera The guys on Inside The NBA are all making multi million dollar salaries. No cheap talent and the people behind the scenes have also been doing it for decades and get maximum pay.
MLB is a big standard for Hispanic master , white, blacks, Asian and foreign countries etc is head to head with NBA , other than that great channel I’m a big follower peace
The NBA for me has been on the decline for quite a while in terms of an entertainment value and impact sport wise as well. I can say the best times to watch basketball was the 90’s to 2000’s when growing up where there was diverse playstyles, talent everywhere even in small market teams and also players hustled their ass off and cared for the fans. Now it’s nothing but a 3 point shooting contest with no defense or showcase of fundamentals or other abilities on the court! The Lebron hate and blame to me is some petty low level stuff but the NBA has to get away from the chucking three aspect to a more overall fundamental developed approach and some mid range shooters. Hell even some old school big men deserve the spotlight!
I know you can tollerate basketball but MLB is way bigger. You live in a city too small to have MLB and probably have not been in a baseball town. It is woven into the fabric of MLB cities in a way the NBA can't even dream of. The nets and the knicks can move out of NY and nobody will care, try and move the mets, yankees, Giants or jets and see what happens. The NBA is a 5th tier sport in a 4 tier system. Nascar is bigger than Hoop.
Exactly and try to move out the Red Sox out of Boston. Boston is a baseball city, even if they have the Celtics. Same with New York, or even St. Louis.
Total BS. The Nets are huge in NY. Celtics are a religion in Boston. Lakers rule LA. Suns are much beloved in Phoenix. Indiana's freakin' WNBA team is now huge because of Lady Clark. NY already moved the MLB Giants and Dodgers.
@@LuisGonzalez-gl4wc Celtics are bigger in Boston than the Red Sox. Think those 18 championships were viewed as MEH? Red Sox, like the Cubs, have mostly been a sad sack team of legendary losers playing in a tiny stadium.
@@DaryMatera The lakers are a joke don't even try that Labrana crap, she ruined what magic , karim and kobe built when she twisted management into drafting bronny. What the Dream Team built was destroyed by Labranda Louganis queen of the dive. Boston proper would trade the celtics for 3 stanley cup wins for the bruins over the last 50 years in a heart beat straight up. The Suns are not beloved, they are the only game in town outside of baseball season(the cardinals don't count, they are sloppy thirds.) MLB also added another team to the NY market after the Giants and the Dodgers owners decided to move teams that played in front of full stadiums every night so they could have their own cities and not be second and third class citizens after the Yankees. I dare you to go to brooklyn and talk about the dodgers moving ,go to manhattan and ask about the Giants moving, I dare you, both teams betrayed their fan bases over 50 years ago and the subject will still get you stabbed in certain neighborhoods. Face it hoop is a joke.
Not watching an rant that you KC did say TNT will not be showing NBA anymore months ago. Maybe just maybe *Inside the NBA* with the co-star of King Charles Charles Barkley will be picked up either by Peacock (NBC) or Prime (Amazon). I could care less about Barkley.
Ohtani is a huge fan friendly draw at the plate and on the mouth. He's just not that connective to Americans because he doesn't speak English, or Spanish, and his translator was a degenerate gambling junkie. If you go to the Japanese sites they say he has a great personality. Trout does speak English but he is kind of MEH.
They said that about the players when they hit the $10 million a year mark. Now third option, always injured bums like Bradley Beal make $55 million per year to sit on the bench in street clothes.
@@DaryMatera The cost of Inside The NBA eats up any profit that the NBA generates and considering that the NBA is a depreciating brand, TNT got out at the right time.
David Zaslav should have been careful what he wished for. That was the beginning of the end of Inside the NBA. Outside of the NHL, which is not as high profile as the NFL and NBA, those words may drive TNT out of business.
I love base baseball but haven't gave a shit in years, hell any sport really. But i have been watching the treatment of Caitlin Clark. I'm 63, . Im watching to see how an actual athlete superstar will be treated.
It BOGGLES MY MIND, that people don't understand how much these people are making a year to tell the public what they are hearing !! MILLIONS OF DOLLARS A YEAR, FOR YEARS, FOR READING WORDS WILL GET YOU THIS CRAP !!😊
I’m not sure why I watch. My favorite sports in order College football MLB/NHL NFL College Baseball College basketball (3 weeks out of the year) I wouldn’t watch the NBA if they were playing in my yard (used to be a casual fan)
They took a bath on woke movies and low subscribers on Max. They really didnt want to keep it. They have pro wrestling on their networks and while not the NBA but still live events at a much cheaper price (AEWs initial contract was 5 years $145m and now they are up for renewal which I'm thinking is gonna be $500m for 5 years.)
The older I get KC the less I care what I say to people because it’s the truth and haters hate the truth. I might be 68 so they can say I’m just an old cranky man, I’ll take that but if ya got a real problem I can take care of that issue as well!!!
NBA sucks as a product, so who cares I’ve been to hundreds of MlB games and hundreds of college basketball games I’ve been to 75 plus NFL games I’ve been to over one hundred college football games. I’ve been to two NBA games, not a mistake, I’m in my sixties and I do not watch TV period, so again who cares
This is bad for both, TNT crew actually had me tune into games to watch them and I can only imagine the woke crew amazon will put together, NBA ratings will go down and TNT ratings will go down
U CAN SAY THOSE WORDS FROM THE DOFFUS CAUSED TNT TO LOSE THE NBA BUT I SAY THEY GET ONLY HALF, BARKLEY AN HIS WORDS ON CNN ON THE KING CHARLES SHOW ABOUT REPUBLICANS PLUS HIS THREATS TO THEM SCREWED TNT !!! GOD BLESS !!!
I don’t even care to follow or watch the NBA anymore! No one is talented enough to watch. Your wrong about Ohtani though!!! He brings in fans and has fans all over the world following baseball just because of Ohtani so might want to do your research before you say no one give a crap about Ohtani!!!
It's getting easier not watching basketball. Slowly finding other entertainment options. TNT had the best NBA entertainment. Well they are out. Fu#k basketball.
As the saying goes, all good things come to an end. Darn shame this was self induced. This is gonna hurt the nba almost as much as TNT. Let's not forget, Amazon made Thursday night football unwatchable. It's gonna be interesting to watch the ratings for the nba the next couple years.

Another reason viewership has dropped is because there's hundreds if not thousands of choices to select from that have nothing to do with sports.

It BOGGLES MY MIND, that people don't understand how much these people are making a year to tell the public what they are hearing !!
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS A YEAR, FOR YEARS, FOR READING WORDS WILL GET YOU THIS CRAP !!😊
Imagine suing a business, becaise they don't want your business. They can create their own show, but that means spending their money.
Other than the exorbitant salaries of Barkley and Shag, the production costs of such a talking heads/highlight show are rock bottom.
Nah im good. The format no longer fits a streaming format that is the present day and future of how we watch the NBA.
CC #22 is biger then the nba
I dont need the NBA
I’m not sure why I watch. My favorite sports in order
College football
MLB/NHL
NFL
College Baseball
College basketball (3 weeks out of the year)
I wouldn’t watch the NBA if they were playing in my yard (used to be a casual fan)
Triple Fee. The profesional players at the WNBA should be happy. They will get their cut from it.
They took a bath on woke movies and low subscribers on Max. They really didnt want to keep it. They have pro wrestling on their networks and while not the NBA but still live events at a much cheaper price (AEWs initial contract was 5 years $145m and now they are up for renewal which I'm thinking is gonna be $500m for 5 years.)
As soon as magnets were installed in the balls 🏀 is when the game became Gank
People I trust: KC.
That's great news! Good riddance to Charles Barkley!
I'm going to miss Char. What was his name. What goes around.!!!!!!!
Finally realizing that all basketball is, is practice, I don't know why anyone cares so much about it anyway
Even Alan Iverson didn't believe that BS.
The older I get KC the less I care what I say to people because it’s the truth and haters hate the truth. I might be 68 so they can say I’m just an old cranky man, I’ll take that but if ya got a real problem I can take care of that issue as well!!!
Yer just a cranky old man.
Save women children and our republic
A bunch of guys shooting 3’s and taking 20 games off to rest while making 20 million dollars and complaining about oppression… see ya
NBA sucks as a product, so who cares
I’ve been to hundreds of MlB games and hundreds of college basketball games I’ve been to 75 plus NFL games I’ve been to over one hundred college football games. I’ve been to two NBA games, not a mistake, I’m in my sixties and I do not watch TV period, so again who cares
This is bad for both, TNT crew actually had me tune into games to watch them and I can only imagine the woke crew amazon will put together, NBA ratings will go down and TNT ratings will go down
Labron has been a loser these last 21 years
im pretty sure TNT doesnt need the NBA
Fire David Zazlav
That's right KC, Dreymond is a draw 😁
Nah, dude. Zaslav was right. The nba is a trash product they aren't making money on.
They made an offer.
U CAN SAY THOSE WORDS FROM THE DOFFUS CAUSED TNT TO LOSE THE NBA BUT I SAY THEY GET ONLY HALF, BARKLEY AN HIS WORDS ON CNN ON THE KING CHARLES SHOW ABOUT REPUBLICANS PLUS HIS THREATS TO THEM SCREWED TNT !!! GOD BLESS !!!
I don’t even care to follow or watch the NBA anymore! No one is talented enough to watch. Your wrong about Ohtani though!!! He brings in fans and has fans all over the world following baseball just because of Ohtani so might want to do your research before you say no one give a crap about Ohtani!!!
Labron have ratings because people watch to see labron lose
It's getting easier not watching basketball. Slowly finding other entertainment options.
TNT had the best NBA entertainment. Well they are out. Fu#k basketball.
Lately, everything Barkley does turns to 💩. It's not his fault, i know. I loved the show. Silver is a duche and is ruining the NBA 💯
What about shaq.
Shaq will be fine!! Owner of businesses, Returned to school and completed a PhD in business management
Howard Cosell, Monday night football!! Jimmy the Greek!! John Madden!!!
What about AEW?! 🤣😂 🤣
They just have Rampage and Collision right? Dynamite is on TBS correct
Oh boo hoo. Barkley should even experience freedom for all jab pushing he did.
Charles is a multimillionaire
I make $48k
I feel his pain
Yes, the NBA opens training camps in October and the season ends at the beginning of june
Dodgers suck this year. No Otani
I have never seen a more childish boring show as the TNT show.
Dont watch it. Dont care
As the saying goes, all good things come to an end. Darn shame this was self induced. This is gonna hurt the nba almost as much as TNT. Let's not forget, Amazon made Thursday night football unwatchable. It's gonna be interesting to watch the ratings for the nba the next couple years.
FDNBA
Good the nba is trash
Yea let’s get into college football!!! We are, Penn State!! Roll Tide!!! The Golden Gophers!!! Anybody!!!!
