Exclusive Explaining the Problem Facing the NBA That No One Really Understands

So you have no proof whatsoever of this, correct? You may hate things about the league, but sorry to inform you ,it is stronger then ever. If you have any proof at all that things are as bad as you say, I'd love to read it.

 

You understand that this post is entirely just your opinion on the state of the league right? You"see it in other markets and feel it"? What does that even mean? Your Scooby senses are telling you they aren't selling as much popcorn in Milwaukee and now the league is crashing?

 

I've already said why it's stronger then ever right now. Also saying that it'll be less successful especially after this TV Deal is over with. I don't know if you have a trouble reading long posts (I explain everything in there), or it's just the fact that you're an NBA-Fanboy. If you really think some season ticket and big money spenders aren't getting fed up by the stuff I listed, then you're naive.

 

I can't argue explain to someone that can't comprehend what I write.

Again,
If you really think some season ticket andbig money spenders aren't getting fed up by the stuff I listed, and fans won't be chased away by some of the stuff that's probably going to happen (LBL to LAL), then you're naive.

 

Now you are just getting disrespectful for me questioning you. Come correct and post some links and facts that things are going bad or about to. To be honest they will make MORE money on the next TV deal from what I'm hearing. If you have facts or proof that they won't, please share. And I don't speak computer geek, is being a "fanboy" of something bad? I love the NBA, this is an NBA forum right? Since when did being a fan of something become an insult?
As far as I'm concerned you have come on here with YOUR opinion of things (which you are entitled to) and stated them as if they are facts is all. I have read inside articles passed along to me about the state of the league and am seeing that things are only going to get better...... I know this upsets you, but you might have to prepare for growth and success for the NBA.

 

Why because I am questioning you does it mean I can't read or comprehend? So some people are pissed that the ticket prices are going up...... that's not new for any league. This type of argumentative responses to your post is kinda funny actually. Who the fuck made or asked you to moderate on here? Just because somebody questions what you post bro....nevermind. Nice hire Denny and Sly!

 

4 sir...... One for Blazers Broadcasting, 2 for HBO Boxing and 1 for the Olympics last summer. Why do ask FAMS?

 

Produce your facts then. The trend right now is it's getting better, which is shown by the salary cap. However, the projections of how much it was supposed to get better was vastly overblown (By a couple hundred million dollars), as evident by the salary cap. Everyone assumes die-hard fans are going to stay, and I'm saying that's not the case, because the NBA shits on their die-hard fans in favor of casual fans. I've listed all the ways the NBA is fucking up, and you're nut even arguing that. The argument between us is whether die-hard fans will stick around or not.

 

The fact they are called "die hard" fans mean they aren't going anywhere my man. Causual fans don't care and might bounce if they are happy with the product.....thus the title of "casual fans" Just because you made a list of what upsets you about the league doesn't mean the NBA is "fucking up". I have quite a few people here in my neighborhood that probably only watch the NBA because they pump up players like LeBron. And I have had some tell me they are looking forward to seeing if this Ball kid can stand up to the hype. They wouldn't ever watch a Laker game before, now they will. Thats what promoting certain players and matchups do....... it's to attract the "casual fan". The "die-hard fan" is going to watch regardless right?
And once again, calling me a "nut" because I don't agree with your doomsday outlook for a thriving business is just funny to me. Grow up son. Post your thoughts and move along. Don't get hyped up just because somebody doesn't see eye to eye with you.

 

I have friends that work on the Poker circuit for ESPN and said it's a blast to work.

 

The OP is nothing but guessing, speculation and made-up numbers being cast as fact, due to personal frustration.

If you want to be taken seriously, you can't use your personal observation and anecdotal evidence as the basis and "facts" for your argument.

 

I think everyone understands what you said Bones.....you said you can't argue explain to those who don't comprehend your posts...I think that's what you should look into.......and I think you vastly underestimate the popularity of the NBA overseas...America is not as big as you may think...These guys sell a lot of jerseys and shoes overseas.....and you weigh that against season ticket holders here......news flash....Beyoncé will still be a season ticket holder...So will Spike Lee

 

And some season ticket holders will get tired of shelling money out in a product that the NBA acts like doesn't matter.

 

I never called it a fact, I strongly believe that it will happen though. What numbers did I make up? Please show me where.

 

I think companies will continue to spend more $$ advertising during sports broadcasts because that's one of the few things people still consistently watch live. Almost everything else gets DVR'd and you can skip the commercials.

 

Some will, but the default assumption (until there are facts/numbers to show otherwise) is that there will be others to buy up their season tickets. Right now, I haven't seen any evidence that things are headed the direction you're suggesting and you haven't presented any--you've really just enumerated your own grievances with the NBA and essentially made the argument that, "If I feel this way, tons of similarly hardcore fans in small markets feel that way." But why are you the bellwether?

 

I didn't get hyped up, I just said you're nut understanding what I'm writing. If you want to take offense to that but claim I'm the one getting worked up, that's fine. I never called you a nut. You're an.NBA fanboy. Didn't say it as it as an insult either.
The die-hard fan usually watched regardless, but based on a combination of things including myself, people I talked to, as well as stuff I've seen on the internet, die-hard fans are quickly growing tired of the NBAs bullshit. Casual fans are the ones who will watch regardless, because if the hype for individual players that would still be there without the NBA trying extremely hard to drive out because of social media.

Btw, "Grow up, son" is more disrespectful than anything I said so don't sit here and say that while playing the victim card at the same time.

 

Here's just one example:

" While the NBA makes more money off of bigger markets, they're less important, as those markets have more casual fans that will never lose interest in the NBA."

This may or may not be true, but you have nothing to back up this statement. Most of your claims fall in this same category.

Additionally, you've never even defined what makes a "hardcore" fan.
