Love the content. I haven't watched ESPN in 10 year's, I can't stand any of their host, unwatchable!! Soap Opera, I thought the same thing. I'm canceling Nba League ass next season!! I'll only miss about 6 games with having TNT, NBC sports bay area, and doo ESPN. I already quit watching baseball and football. Referees are mainly ruining it, in my opinion. Thanks for speaking facts!!
It’s funny how TV analysts are quick to blame poor performance on taking too many 3s, yet they conveniently avoid addressing streaming issues-probably because they’re on the payroll of the same networks.
“We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate’s service is more valuable.” - Gabe Newell
He literally created a massive money-printing monopoly that directly proves his point and they still just keep pushing this short sighted draconian bs because they're convinced thats the only way
Because live tv is the only thing people watch in the streaming age where they tolerate advertisrnents . Its a prime spot for huge advertisement slots ( mostly gambling and sports betting) and tv deals. Therefore more massive tv deals, therefore more salaries. Not a to do with viewership.
Same. I have League Pass and I can't watch the live games like I want. The NBA recognized that they messed up giving away rights, so for the 2012 CBA, they now own the rights to their own content. I think the NBA should do a new version of that. The NBA can't put those games on league pass because technically ESPN or TNT or whoever actually owns the right for that broadcast. It's stupid and should've been renegotiated.
NBA: I have an idea, lets make more money by making people jump through hoops and spend $$$ to watch a game! Fans: I guess I'm not watching. Analysts and Social Media: Too many 3's! It's Steph Curry's fault. Me: 🤦🏽♂
Honestly as a fan of the nba that lives outside the US it feels worth it- we dont get any of the blackout restrictions and its genuinely crazy that people in the US have those restrictions like man why even charge all of you that much-
it's fucking unreal that I have to spend $500 damn near $1k just to watch the NBA this year or any given damn year. Just because they restrict home games in my area to make more profit even when I paid for the pass. It literally makes no sense anymore to pay for the NBA Pass. I was giving it a shot this year and see how it would be like and now I'm never ever again paying for it after this entire season is over with.
RUclipsTV isn't much better. After tax now it's like $90 a month. Pair that with Internet and it's almost more than the old cable/wifi package from 15 years ago
I’m a Knicks fan and I live in New York and f**king optimum messed things up with MSG now I gotta find an Alternative solution and I’m not paying for a league @ss 🤦🏿♂️
Great video. New to the channel. You summed it all up perfectly! When you asked for people to like and subscribe, I happened to do so just before lmao. Good shit
i do agree with you but the last part about regular Sezon is not too long at the end of the day it is still a sport and we are still supposed to have a metric by which to measure someone's greatness and I don't think you can do it in less than that you have ppg and apg and efficiency stats that make sense because of this 82 games
Don't worry, you missed nothing. I have League pass and I've only watched 6 full games this season. It's boring. Players earn so much money, they don't care. They play hard one game and then chill the next two. After Jamal Murray said "we have lives outside basketball" after most of the team played like a highschool team, I opened my eyes. We feed them so much, they don't care. What needs to be done is reduce the max contracts and shorten the season so that individual games matter. I watch Eurolegue this season instead and just wait for the playoffs.
I paid for league pass last season... what a ripoff! First I have to use a VPN to watch my local team, but with or without using the VPN games were constantly buffering. By the end of the season, I had abandoned the NBA app in favor of piratec streams. Now HTF is a pirated stream going to be more reliable than using the app I paid for from a billion dollar company? On a side note, I love basketball, but I hope for the NBA's demise because of them shoving their politics in my face.
@XavIsOnline The End Racism crap was on the NFL fields, which is cringe, but not nearly as bad as putting Black Lives Matter on the court for every NBA game for the remainder of that season.
brother....what the hell was that song in the beginning ...? Was that the ASPCA theme? get it together man. Take pride in your video editing. Love the commentary though.
Those games on TNT and ESPN are usually the best matchups too because well you know…..ratings 😂😂😂😂 fix your shit NBA and MLB too while we’re talking about it
You are spitting actual truth. It's true, the NBA has needlessly made watching its own games way too complicated and costly. All the NBA has to do is just copy NFL's RedZone, that's it
But they won’t copy because it’s the NBA and they have a long history of doing stuff that makes absolutely no since from a business point of view in relation to its customers.
You finally got to the REAL problem near the end. Its the soap opera. Its the drama. Its the whining, flopping, crying, complaining, team hopping, franchise ruining, coach firing divas. Its the fact that those types of players are also, as you said, bigger than actual teams in most peoples eyes. Its sad and disgusting. I stopped watching because of all of those reasons. I grew up a fan of the Spurs because their big 3, core guys, and culture was the exact opposite of the current nba. And the fact that the Spurs simply played beautifully basketball with none of today's extra BS. IF that kind of nba ever returns, I'll start watching consistently again.

Imagine viewership if it was streamed on RUclips
We would see the real numbers fast
RUclips TV is already a marketing partner of the NBA

I do monthly payments. I pay one month then cancel, when I cancel they offer me a full month for free or 50% off. Rinse and Repeat every other month.
Oh. My. God. You are goated.
"or doodstreams or sportsurge, whatever it is, I don't do it!" bros tryna clear himself from the FBI
Are you the fbi? Lol

If nba ratings are going down why are salaries still going up
Because live tv is the only thing people watch in the streaming age where they tolerate advertisrnents . Its a prime spot for huge advertisement slots ( mostly gambling and sports betting) and tv deals. Therefore more massive tv deals, therefore more salaries. Not a to do with viewership.
Because of greed
@Clout_chasing_boy could've just said greed that would've worked too

Your point is correct but at the same time the product is dogshit too
insane how you americans are getting ripped off by the league pass. I pay the same and as a european have no restrictions at all...
Can I live with you bro?
@ 😂😂 Sure bro
@@trashtalknba VPN
Yup, i love league pass. Maybe use a vpn?
Honestly as a fan of the nba that lives outside the US it feels worth it- we dont get any of the blackout restrictions and its genuinely crazy that people in the US have those restrictions like man why even charge all of you that much-
yep, I got the league pass for just 45 dollars and I can watch every game, even the espn/tnt games
oh this dude listed them all i love it 💀😭 im subbing dude too funny
Welcome to the family.
Youre the fkn goat dude listed all the plugs LMFAO im dead
2 of the plugs have already been taken down 😂
Man miss the days we could watch all games on one subscription
The second he said
You wouldn't STEAL a Car
I got Vietnam flashbacks with the music and everything. Early 2000s DVDs were something else
Hello fellow old person
Jesus loves you
I hope this vid doesn’t get millions of views. Giving away the sauce 😅. The various sport leagues will never get my money as long as I can be a pirate
Damn bro. It hurts but I get it.
Hit the nail on the head with this one. Great video
Thank you broseph. Let’s hope for change
1:50 felt that in my soul.
Beer on me :)
I literally only use my local channel for suns games. Tnt and ESPN for Broadcast games.
that's why this is going 2B my last year with the NBA
it's fucking unreal that I have to spend $500 damn near $1k just to watch the NBA this year or any given damn year. Just because they restrict home games in my area to make more profit even when I paid for the pass. It literally makes no sense anymore to pay for the NBA Pass. I was giving it a shot this year and see how it would be like and now I'm never ever again paying for it after this entire season is over with.
It is horrible where I live. There were like 6 games on at once the other day and only 2 weren’t blacked out.
The thing with espn and Hulu is that you still need a tv provider to use there sports services
RUclipsTV isn't much better. After tax now it's like $90 a month. Pair that with Internet and it's almost more than the old cable/wifi package from 15 years ago
Bro you are the guy that does videos in LA Fitness I cannot believe RUclips recommended me your channel you are awesome
Haha I am! Whats up bro! Its a small world. @stramshow on IG
I’m a Knicks fan and I live in New York and f**king optimum messed things up with MSG now I gotta find an Alternative solution and I’m not paying for a league @ss 🤦🏿♂️
Yeaaaaaa we need a change
I switched to DirecTV Stream. They have MSG, SNY, And Yes
Gotta wait till Black Friday to get the 50$/ season
sub earned. thanks for the video. it summarized my thoughts on the app and NBA itself.
I take your sub very seriously, sir. Will strive to make you dope content with the realist attitude.
Great video. New to the channel. You summed it all up perfectly! When you asked for people to like and subscribe, I happened to do so just before lmao. Good shit
Thank you, brother! Maybe I should stop asking people to subscribe lol, it’s a fine line
i do agree with you but the last part about regular Sezon is not too long at the end of the day it is still a sport and we are still supposed to have a metric by which to measure someone's greatness and I don't think you can do it in less than that you have ppg and apg and efficiency stats that make sense because of this 82 games
Hulu is still not enough 2 watch all the games
There is no way you just outed all those sites.😂
Interesting analysis on declining viewership
Don't worry, you missed nothing. I have League pass and I've only watched 6 full games this season. It's boring. Players earn so much money, they don't care. They play hard one game and then chill the next two. After Jamal Murray said "we have lives outside basketball" after most of the team played like a highschool team, I opened my eyes. We feed them so much, they don't care. What needs to be done is reduce the max contracts and shorten the season so that individual games matter. I watch Eurolegue this season instead and just wait for the playoffs.
Great vid man subbed, funny asf and true
League pass was like $50 bucks back during black Friday/cyber month. You overpaid
Put the games on Twitch, or You Tube. Nobody wants cable tv anymore
Imagine paying for something.
U snitchin
I paid for league pass last season... what a ripoff! First I have to use a VPN to watch my local team, but with or without using the VPN games were constantly buffering.

VPNs are a good point. Should have mentioned that, excellent comment
Politics? Do you mean, like, the "End racism" prints in the background? Really?
@XavIsOnline The End Racism crap was on the NFL fields, which is cringe, but not nearly as bad as putting Black Lives Matter on the court for every NBA game for the remainder of that season.
brother....what the hell was that song in the beginning ...? Was that the ASPCA theme? get it together man. Take pride in your video editing. Love the commentary though.
Yea the NBA is WWE
tbh its too much drama.
You should just use a VPN
This is why I pirate
Arrrrrrrrrrr matey
You’re not a liar. I haven’t neither liked nor subscribed. Arrgghh.
This is fair. I deserve this.
Those games on TNT and ESPN are usually the best matchups too because well you know…..ratings 😂😂😂😂 fix your shit NBA and MLB too while we’re talking about it
I did 2 and U only get 1 game a day on average
You’re a liar! Because I subscribed after this video
Damn. You got me bro. I shant do it again.
You are spitting actual truth. It's true, the NBA has needlessly made watching its own games way too complicated and costly. All the NBA has to do is just copy NFL's RedZone, that's it
Thanks bro
But they won’t copy because it’s the NBA and they have a long history of doing stuff that makes absolutely no since from a business point of view in relation to its customers.
Leage pass is mega trash
