>NBA becomes a white man’s league
>fans stop showing up
NGL, basketball was unironically better when blacks were the best players. Prove me wrong.

Who the fuck would go the second day of all-star weekend on Valentine’s Day on what was a lovely day in LA?

americans only care about football now

basketball and handegg are dead

I'm surprised these used to be sold out. Reminds me of the "Super Cup" games in football. Utterly pointless

All-Star Game was created in a time where few matches were aired on TV. Now on the age of streaming, there's no repressed demand anymore for seeing the top players on the league.

No one gives a fuck about the pro bowl either despite the NFL being the king of all sports.

The fact is this sort of shit is like late-night talk shows, a format that has been carried over from the days when there was network tv and nothing else. But it just doesnt work when there are so many other options. Who the fuck wants to watch an entire weekend of contrived shit capped off by a meaningless exhibition that the players half-ass their way through, especially when the olympics are happening?

It never was all that interesting, it's just that back in the day when there were four channels and no football, no internet and nothing more adanced than the NES to play with you would get an audience by default. But nobody's going to just watch out of boredom any more. There are a thousand things more interesting than all-star weekend to me and it's not because the best players are Slavs. It's just a shitty product. The NBA in general is a shitty product

Americans hate seeing white men succeeding, thats why every sport the fill with blacks so they cant be envious, if a white men starts to get too good they stop watching and start to sabotage them, thats why they only start to watch real football now that we have fewer white players globally
>>
>>153473941
NBA is garbage and anybody who still goes to the games is a retard that deserves to go broke

The rules are not applied in the NBA.
Athletes build whole carrers by traveling, carrying, changing pivot foot and flopping.
A sport needs consistancy and tradition for people to care about it beyond an Instagram reels view.

Kek there are a lot of vids of nba players watching tiktok reels mid match, not even they tolerate how boring it is

NBA has way too many problems
This is just my way of viewing it so everybody's is different, but for me I despise the lack of defense and the way the new game is called post 2015. If I wanted to watch guys jogging up and down the court and shooting a bunch of wide open shots I could go watch people warming up in the gym
Plus they're a bunch of faggots who make the game political, and the politics isn't 2 sided either it's always lefty bullshit.
And the players are faggots now too, a guy like Devin Booker whining about the Raptors mascot distracting him during free throws, guys getting fans kicked out the game for talking, actually flexing their money on their own fans.
If you watch the modern NBA you're a faggot, if you pay to watch it you're a cuck
But Wemby is a freak so he's pretty cool to see, and literally the only way you can play legal defense in the modern NBA is to be that much taller and lengthier than your opponents are because any little bit of contact is a foul.
>>
>>153476104
Oh not to mention gambling fucked the game up, it's a source of money that's allowed them to not give a shit about the game or product at all because they've got other things going on.
That's likely why they nuked defense so hard is to be able to predict and control the game easier for the gambling books/spreads/w.e (I don't gamble so I don't know all the terms)

>>153473941
s-surely people showed up for the dunk contest between g leaguers and the 3 pt contest won by a guy that retired 2 years ago

All-star games was always just a dumb american gimmick, kids can watch clips online why would they watch this shit?

in reality, no one wants to watch zesty dudes shooting the ball every 10 seconds while wearing black history month shirts on the bench

and it isnt just nba
all-star games exist solely because of inertia in basically every pro sport

This. No one's going to care about secondary shit spun off from a sport when the sport itself is bad.
>players make more money than ever but don't think twice about taking games off and fucking over anyone who bought tickets to see them
>the refs are more inconsistent than ever and foul baiting is not only allowed but encouraged
>half the teams are throwing games on a nightly basis and letting entire seasons go to rot so they can get a 10% chance at drafting guys who are as likely to be average or busts as superstars
>had to impose quotas on end of season awards to stop players from flaking out on regular season games and now it's backfiring becuase literally none of the best players are going to be eligible for anything this year
>expanded the playoff field even more despite the first round already being nothing but lopsided ass kickings that take two weeks to slog through
>wealthiest owner blatantly cheats and pays a guy under the table while he's still under contract with other teams, gets caught red handed and the dickless commissioner refuses to do shit, just like he refuses to do shit about any of the other problems
Joke of a sport

I stopped watching the NBA when I recognized that the Mavs trading Luka to the Lakers for peanuts was the most Jewish fixed nonsense in existence.

Basketball is a great sport. It's just the NBA that sucks.

I could understand their cope if they hosted it in Nashville Tennessee where a bunch of conservatives don't want to see that shit, but this is hosted in libtarded LA.
They can't even use Valentines day as an excuse this time, holy cooked

It was the rising stars game, but still
>>
all star games are relics of a bygone era when you never saw these people outside of the games. when you had maybe one chance to watch a guy play. now you can follow their every move on and off the court. on top of that only baseball allows for just about 100% effort without fuckin yourself up.
