the NBA will always be a joke. You have to be a literal 70IQ retard to still watch this garbage
it has a completely pointless regular season with a million games what a very obvious problem that could be seen from a mile away
>>153510171maybe we should stop appointing these new york lawyer types as commissioners. north american sports leagues are full of em and they turn everything to shit
Who let the nosferatu run a sports league.
it is sports entertainment not sport
>>153510278So same as every other NA sport top league?
>>153510400We need more LA Lawyer types, justifying it after getting attacked by Disney and Universal executives mad about ratings.
>>153510445No amerimutts will never say anything bad about their retarded version of rugby
>>153513463you apparently havent followed NFL discussions for the last 10 years
>>153513528>4chan chuds represent 40% of US populationAre you retarded or can't read?
>>153510445yeah, this isn't a secret, anonother sports fans have issues with this in the us
>>153513614Imagine being worse than Fifa
>>153513574do you genuinely think Im only talking about on /sp/?
>>153513733How many do you think you are on 4chan seriously? Not just /sp/ as you say
>>153513799>How many do you think you are on 4chan
>>153513970What disscusions are you talking about? Not on 4chan or what? There is anything besides 4chan? Don't tell me you talk about reddit or jewtube. What other discussions
>>153514010did you somehow miss the entire chiefs/taylor swift fiasco? the complaints about replacement refs?
>>153514010NTA people complain about NFL all the time, not sure what you're trying to say
>>153514047Yea it was rigged and what nothing happened
Viewership it's still at all timr high for NFL. How you complain yet you watch?
>>153514163I should ask the same for la liga/bundes/ligue 1 or the EPL
Complain about rigged games yet you still watch it
>>153514183https://www.sportcal.com/media/report-epl-viewership-down-for-2024-25-domestic-broadcasters/
>>153513799Holy ESL gypsy babble
>>153510171Really not a fan of Jewish people at this point. Thinking they should be sent elsewhere. Not allowed to participate in public service or hold positions of authority.
>>153510171basketball has so much fucking shit for these retards to gamble on, as a casual fan it just seems dangerous, someone's going to ruin their career or get andres escobar'd over a dumbass prop bet in a game between two <.500 teams
>>153514235What about based ones like Stephen Miller?
>>153510171>gambling saves sports from being rigged
>>153510171Who cares if a gambler is angry?
nba is fucking up hard with the gambling shit
>>153510171adam silver is hilarious because his league could've slingshot itself into the #1 american sport with all the success it had in the 2010s and instead its 2026 and they're still trotting out curry and lebron's corpses as draws because they never developed any new stars
>>153514301>Easy wit da antisemitism bud!
>>153514387Adam Silver is a mediocre manager with no vision or skill. He got to where he is because of ethnic nepotism (see Stern's emails in the Epstein files) and can only sell his increasingly crappy product to people desperate for content.
>>153514276retard
'ate gambling companies'ate tanking teamsnot sure who I should label as based lads
>>153514467Is he not? (Genuine question)
just remembered how bad gamrot is
>>153510171bulbasaur squeak and gambling have always been jokes
employ monkeys, expect circus
>>153510171I went from watching every game on TV in the 90s and 00s to never even watching this garbage the past few years. What a fucking monumental fuck up by Silver. How do you kill your league long term and alienate your entire fanbase for this shit?
>>153516588What changed?I think the league is kind of hard to watch because of ref bullshit (defense, steps, star bonus, free throws), but I don’t know how that compares to the past. Same for the tanking issue. What else is there?
>>153510171Is this a Jewish man by chance?I figure he must be Jewish because he is not black. The NHL commissioner is Jewish. The most athletic group out there.
>>153510400>>153514387>>153514452The NBA just got a $77 billion TV deal, the biggest TV deal in the league's history thanks to Silver. Revenues are at an all time high, not sure how you can come to a conclusion that Silver has been a bad commissioner when the NBA is currently making record amounts of money.
>>153510171no idea what you fags are talking aboutI just want to point out that there is a jew in the picture
>>153516758t.Adam SilverThe owners hate your stupid ass.
>>153513799Romanians, everybody.
>>153510171Judge Doom lookin mothefucker
>>153516758>who cares if the sports become unwatchable trash, look at the revenue!
>>153510400Oi vey thats anti semetic
>>153516758No chance in hell NBA will ever get a deal like that again. It's a once in a lifetime deal. Only way they got it is because all the streaming companies are trying to catch up to Netflix. In ten years time they aren't going to dish out a king's ransom again. By then they'll have realized like the rest of us that NBA is unwatchable trash
>>153516651The referees, players, coaches, management, owners, commissioner and NBA media are all responsible but especially the people on the court and bench. The lack of rule enforcement and shady refereeing is a big issue. The lack of defense being allowed and just encouragement of shooting 3s with the same exact pick and roll play is so fucking boring. High pick and roll, drive, kick to corner, swing to the wing, shoot 3 or drive to draw fouls. Boring as fuck
NBA is the only pro sports league their own fans actively hate the product
>>153517354I hate when retards like >>153516758 make this argument because it shows how shortsighted and retarded he is. He's acting like we are making the money
a lot going on here so i'll just shoot1. i will never feel bad for gambling companies. are you kidding me2. i can sort of feel bad for people losing money on blatant refball. if you lose money on a prop bet and are upset absolutely lol@urlife.com3. the NBA isn't basketball. it looks a lot like it but if they called the actual rules every play would get blown dead in 5 seconds for any litany of violations4. the average NBA fan isn't a sports fan, it's people going to date night, taking their kids to the game, and at home it's zoomers and asians (as in those who live on the continent) who probably can't even make a layup5. there are many ways to fix tanking but the NBA is either too myopic or wilfully ignorant to fix it>in b4 b-but what about X leaguethe NBA is a farce, refute my points head on
y'all falling for the commissioner trap.he can't do what the team owners (= league owners) don't want. he's just the scapegoat for criticism and failure they can sacrifice if needed.
>>153516758>UHH, LINE GO UP, THIS MEANS SPORT IS ACTUALLY GOOD
>>153510171If anyone wants to try the Tanking Theory look at Cleveland vs San Antonio, you can still get 10% gain on it on Polymarket. Seems like a guaranteed win Cleveland is even at home. Or if you want to go against it and see if they try really hard on Silvers orders its a 900% I think.
>>153517668I would say NHL fandom has the same kind of negativity culture, same culture warriors from both sides yapping about how horrible everyone is, but the relationship with the gambling stuff isn't that messed up yet. I do think the average, idk, Islanders-Predators bullshit midseason game is better to watch, and the guys are always flying around so they look like they're trying, but that's just the sport
>>153518642this type of response is the go-to for the nihilistic "don't bother voting" type of person, who says "it doesn't matter, what can you do" but then proceeds to bitch and moan about it and offer sly, sarcastic remarks about how we're all sheepWhat's the next step if he's the scapegoat, then? Isn't he representative of the owners? If enough people are mad at the policies, won't the owners be pressed to change?The best way to force change is to not watch, attend, or buy merch. Vote with your wallets. Problem is it's all speculative money anyway, social media bullshit you can't quantify, and "economic" """"experts""" offering gajillion dollar """"""""valuations""""""" of the teams that nobody watches or spends on
>>153517587the companies basically said "yea we know the product sucks, we know ratings are down, we know we won't make this money back, but we need inventory". They need to fill time and 82*32 or whatever 3 hour blocks will fill it, even if it is bullshit. They got lucky, and this is kind of what I mean. Guys like Silver and Goodell are mediocrities that are just in it to manage it and ride the wave. They can't actually build anything. The NFL would have become the biggest and most insanely popular and profitable sport with my dog (who is retarded) as commissioner. He didn't do anything for that. And where he did stick his nose in, it's been a disaster every single time.
>>153526244stop buying, stop subscribing, stop watching.can't do? they won. tough shit.
this is Silver's 'Manfred moment' kwab
>>153510171if you bet these stupid props and you dont know the current state of the game then youre a moron who deserves to lose money, why is this my problem? Cuban is right btw
>>153514235dont you have a daughter to sell to a pakistani rape gang, why you posting here
Why would you have a league in a sport where it isnt always in the best interest of the team to win the matches?American sports desperately need relegations, I know they think that might affect the bottom line but imagine having new cities pop up in the top league and marketing the shit out of the newcomers each time and so on, plus all the new franchises at a lower level that would be putting in a lot of money to try to get to the big leagues. I feel like the jew has got lazy and doesnt see the potential
>>153532159>I feel like the jew has got lazy and doesnt see the potentialWrong. The jews that are already in don't want to lose and the jews from outside respect that, so they instead will create their own league (NBA Europe)
>>153513463Goodell gets booed every year at the draft. Everybody hates him and those who know football know that his greed inspired push for expansions both domestically and overseas is going to kill the sport if he goes through with it.
>>153513463>anything badObjectively stating that it doesn’t play many games isn’t good or bad, you’re just dumb
>>153516758Adjust for inflation
>>153513463>>153513574>this desperate to shit on the big mean Americans that live in your head rent free for all hours of the dayWhy don't you retards just go make your own European version of 4chan and fuck off?
>>153526144>I would say NHL fandom has the same kind of negativity cultureI don't think so, not even on the same levels of NBA or close to it. There are a vocal minority but majority of NHL fans love the sport and aren't abandoning it by the millions like NBA's exodus. Don't let Can'tnadians fool you into thinking we all hate NHL. Out of the big 4 leagues NHL is ran the best at the moment. They don't let the players dictate shit. Leafs just hate the league because the league doesn't bend over backwards and cater to the Can'tnadian teams. Can'tnadian media and fans drive their best stars out of their markets because of the toxicity. Why get harassed non-stop in Can'tnada when you can come play in the US and nobody bothers you or even knows who you are when you're out in public?
>>153531892don't you have a son to troon out and take to the assisted suicide pod
>>153533215TOPKEK. You got so owned and mad you and your fellow amerimutts had to cry out to the jannies to ban me and now you tell whole of Europe to make a new 4chan because you can't handle what I said lmao. Amerimutts must be the biggest pussies in the world no wonder everyone is ditching you and hates you
>>153538408
>>153510171Tanking is only a thing because people consider any season that doesn't end in a championship to be a failure.
>>153538710>for you areaYeah see the message is for you since english is your first language. Press it amerimutt
>>153532159they see yurop leagues with their broken competitions which the championship is rotating between the same 3 teams (if you're lucky) and they be saying OY VEY NAH! NAH!!
>>153510171Liquidate all gambling companiesPublicly execute all gambling company CEOs
It has the worst regular season of any sport. We usually skip the season and watch the playoffs.
>>153538408You didn't answer the question though? Being this close to your personal boogeymen can't be this healthy for an insecure schizo like yourself.
>>153510171this guy is the jewiest looking person ive ever seen
>>153516758shalom
>>153542408Dangerously based
>>153513463American Football is fun in video game format and I think also fun actually playing it (closest to playing actual American Football was me playing Flag Football a few times). It's not that much fun watching it.
