      Blackouts are ridiculous. People dump on MLS (and sometimes rightfully so), but man did they nail their TV deal. I can watch any game anywhere in the world on a single platform whenever I want. There's no local or regional blackouts; no Comcast or cable sign up required; games don't get bumped if another program goes over; I don't need to download a million apps and have loads of different logins to try and find a game. It's the easiest and best thing ever and I wish more leagues would copy it.

    The TV deal is the biggest issue with expansion. If there are new teams they need to cut two more pieces out of the TV deal. Or streaming or whatever, the basic problem is that none of the owners want to vote themselves a smaller piece of pie.

    • @moe-kp2sx
      @moe-kp2sx 5 месяцев назад +2

      I think you got it slightly confused, it wouldn’t be “cutting 2 pieces of pie”, look at it more like “adding 2 more pieces and making a even bigger pie” , the new owners would be putting in all the cash, they not just coming into the league Willynilly and getting a piece of the pie

    • @BurritoKingdom
      @BurritoKingdom 5 месяцев назад +2

      @@moe-kp2sx but the tv pie is much bigger. Adding 2 new teams would mean sharing $2 billion among the other 30 teams. While the two new teams would get an even share of the national TV deal with all the other 32 teams.
      Let's use the previous deal as an example. It was $24 billion for 10 years. Split 24 among 30 teams. That's $800 million per team. Now split 24 among 32 teams. That's $750 million. At that time teams were worth an average $300 million. So 2 teams would be $600 million. $600 million split among 30 is $20 million. Teams would stand to lose $30 million.
      So unless the NBA adds a clause where the streamers/channels will pay more for more teams, it ain't worth it for the NBA. Unless that's an international team like in Mexico City, which would increase the NBA deal in that country

      Listen to The Whistleblower podcast. Not only will it answer your questions, but you’ll also learn that Mark Cuban has been sticking it to referees for decades. Refs hate Mark Cuban, they now have to spend 2 additional hours after games doing their reporting and Mark Cuban was the one behind it. I understand your frustration and if this was any other owner I’d agree with you. But Mark Cuban has been the only owner who has actually pushed for change, and he’s paid millions of dollars in fines by the league for speaking out about the officiating issues publicly.

    • @christianluu2994

      Lol are you slow? The referees are not employed by the NBA or Owners. Theyre a separate party and have their own union. And yes refs performances are graded throughout the year by the NBA and the best performing refs get to ref in the playoffs. You idiots think sport leagues higher personal refs or something.

    • @Davivd2
      @Davivd2 6 месяцев назад +19

      I've been watching the NBA for 33 years. I'll break it down for you from what I've seen. Pre 98 the NBA had the best refs in the game. You would seem them blow a call, watch the slo mo replay and then think: "Damn, how did they even see that?" First lockout hits in 99 when Jordan reties. The star of the league, the man who took it to it's pinnacle and is possibly the GOAT retires and on top of that we have a lockout. Then throw in that there isn't a clear cut star to take up the mantle. Shaq was supposed to be the guy but the Lakers couldn't even get to the finals. Once the lockout came to an end and they negotiated a short season all of the reporters who talked to their sources mentioned that the NBA was terrified about lost revenue because they were afraid that with Jordan gone and the lockout that all of their fair weather fans would disappear.
      The NBA decided to start using the referee's to steer the outcomes of games. It was at that point that the officiating started to go downhill. The ref's were used to try and keep games tight so that we can have these artificially manufactured "exciting finishes". What the NBA didn't recognize is that Jordan didn't bring fair weather fans into the game. People who became NBA fans in the 90's, actually fell in love with the game. Instead of viewership numbers being down with Jordan gone, the numbers were up. This was the crucial fork in the road turning point moment for the NBA right here. The commissioner could have realized that what they were doing with the officials was unnecessary and just continued to let the players and coaches determine the outcomes of games. Obviously that never happened. From that point on we have seen terrible officiating in games, playoff series extended as far as they can be by using bad calls to swing the outcomes of games (2002 Kings VS Lakers series was the most obvious). The reason for that being is that players get paid over the course of the regular season. When the playoffs hit every player gets a one time check (55k IIRC) and every playoff game is pure profit. The more playoff games that we have, the more money there is for the owners and for the league office because of advertising on TV games.
      Enter Tim Donaghy. First of all (and I will try to keep this brief because it's deep with a lot of evidence) Donaghy was not a rogue official, and was the fall guy offered up to the FBI by everyone inside the NBA that was interviewed by the FBI. Everyone pointed at Donaghy and said he was a rogue official. The initial investigation was focused on a mobster. The FBI got him on wiretaps talking about senior referee Joey Crawford fixing games and Crawford went to high school with this mobster. If you want to know more, the Netflix documentary goes further into it. The doc is called Untold: Operation Flagrant Foul. But the Crawford connection isn't in it, and the Bob Delaney connection is also missing. If you want to hear about that, hit me up.
      With all of the backstory out of the way for context; the senior refs who run the crews and make the decisions that the other refs can't overturn, are the ones who have been in charge of fixing and influencing games. When they saw that the NBA doesn't really care about them being accurate and was using them to fix games, some of them thought to themselves: "Why not make a little extra cash on the side?" That's how the betting started. They never thought that the FBI would find out, and certainly the commissioner wasn't going to fire these refs if he noticed something. If one of these refs got fired for betting, they would do exactly what Donaghy did; write a book and expose the whole thing. That is why these refs are not held accountable and don't get fired. They are still used to this day to influence the outcome of games. The NBA isn't a sport anymore. It's sports entertainment. It's the WWE of what used to be the real sport of basketball, and the referees hold the commissioner's dirty little secret over his head and have a free pass to do whatever they want because of it. Just look at Scott Foster and Chris Paul. Foster has been doing whatever he wants to do to Chris Paul for years and the commissioner will sit back with his mouth shut.

    herein lies the problem. it boils down to money. a participation trophy tournament that means nothing was implemented quick while they drag their feet on fixing real issues that has those "older fans" not caring about the game any more
    Flopping, refs, no big men, chucking 3s.... its like a circus sometimes and it gets boring. No strategy or thought, just chuck 40 three pointers a game and call a bunch of ticky tack fouls one way so you can artifically manufacture comebacks to brag about fake "best players in the nba" is over the airwaves

      @@lakersin556 LOL yeah. That's what the fans want to see. A tournament that is on and off again for weeks and is basically just the regular season with a few games a week that have jank ass court graphics, and at the end, some millionaires get some more money and a meaningless trophy. No fan gives a shit. We want to see the officiating get fixed.

      you clearly have no idea wtf you're watching.
      I agree on the refs and ticky tack fouls though. It's why FIBA ball is way better to watch cuz the refs don't gaf about star players

      "no big men, chucking threes" is wild to say. Have you even watched a game since 2010? Ok, they shoot more threes, but thats because everyone is a better shooter now. But the top 3 out of 5 players in the league are big men, so wtf are you talking about?

      Not with blackouts. Copying the MLS deal would be ideal. Everything in one place. No blackouts. That’s what we need. Can’t even watch teams near me anymore. I’m 1.5hours from Detroit and Columbus. 2.5hours from Cincy and Cleveland. I can’t watch any “local” games for baseball, basketball nhl without Bally’s so I just don’t watch them anymore even though I’m not actually local to any of those teams. It’s ridiculous how large the blackout regions are.

    You gotta ask him about the prices. I can fly to Sacramento or Phoenix and watch the Lakers for cheaper than I could at Staples Center. I don't want to spend more than $400 to take my friends and family to the game. Now it's getting to where I get turned off just by looking at the prices and to get good seats I have to spend stacks and racks. How come only rich people get to experience it?
    ESPN is so dumb with how it markets the NBA. It puts baseball and football over Basketball. So I hope another network that doesn't do football or baseball gets the next deal. All ESPN does is argue about stupid who's the GOAT and dump negatively about the game. They don't show enough highlights or break down the game during the game. Their analysts like to overcommunincate and take up space. I just need people that know the game and understands the game and isn't afraid to report on bad calls or some of the things they overheard on the court.

    I don’t think sports in general will be profitable in the future. Those huge Tv and steamers deal are over. Baseball it’s an perfect indicator of where sports are going. Basketball and football will have a small group of fans. Not like it been. It’s not barbershop talk anymore. If you go streamer it’s going to individual seeing. So it’s not going to be like a appointment watch. Sports is going to die in 2 generations.
