NBA All Time lowest Rating

There may be a racism element in the drop off. But I have never followed the NBA. I simply don't find basketball to be entertaining to watch.

The NBA just suffered their worst rating in modern history. Why is this? Is it because Lebron James wasn't playing in the finals? I tend to believe that racism (either overt or covert) is playing a part in this. This really p1ssez me off. These young men went through unbelievable circumstances to even be on the court entertaining these ungrateful people. Can we please move past the color of ones skin and identify and enjoy great talent and entertainment??

Congrats on the most asinine take ever on the NBA. The NBA makeup was the same last year and the year before and the year before. Get your head out of your arse and learn to understand things. You are a joke.

Racism is THE reason of the drop off. No need to sugar coat it. No offense.

Understand what? Please explain....

It’s Phoenix and Milwaukee.

It's up 41% from last year but still below 2019.

Maybe people realize that sports isnt that important. How were the ratings for other sports? Did people watch the NHL playoffs?

Yes. White viewers got tired of falsely being labeled as racist and we tuned out. Sorry. I hear China is a great emerging market.

Phoenix vs Milwaukee? But letsrun posters stated that the NBA is rigged and LA was going to play Brooklyn or Philly.

Ha ha, I suspect you are trolling. But regardless, I personally resent the NBA because it throws it’s radical politics in my face at every opportunity. Those politics are reliably pro-BLM, and I take a different view. In other words, the NBA does not program for people like me. The NBA doesn’t care whether I watch or not. So I don’t.

I don't think Shohei plays for the Suns.

Well said.

And, the NBA is relentlessly pro-China, and far more critical of it’s own country than it is of a repressive communist regime. I have no respect for that view. If they wish to be judged by their basketball product, that’s fine, but they’re going to have to leave the politics out.

solid troll, op.

I've stopped watching NBA since last June. The BLM stuff is out of control. The voice of the NBA, Lebron, is a raging racist, liar, and complete moron. Many others have closely followed his lead. The non stop virtue signaling by the ESPN and other media members is unbearable. Right down to the Rachel Nichols and whoever black girl I'd never heard of squabble from a couple weeks ago. IT's all insane. People just want to watch a game.

The ratings are also down because of the teams and because nobody watches tv anymore.

^This. If it was the Nets vs. Lakers ratings would have been much higher. And of course ratings are down from the series a few years back with Durant and Curry against Lebron.

More than any other major league the NBA is star-driven.

So I suppose when the ratings for golf have gone down without Tiger Woods is that racism too? You need to educate yourself boy!

Ratings mean nothing these days.NBA makes 3 times as much money

overseas than in US.America increasingly is becoming irrelevant

to business success and that is a good thing.Lebron James made

over 150 million dollars last year from overseas ventures.Athletes,

entrepreneurs,in particular black ones are finally catching on that

there are 6 billion people in the world,they are exposing their talents,

skills to world markets.The US is no longer the be all end all.

0/10 obvious, low-hanging low-wit bait.

They can miss me with their performance at the EURO final.

No

No one watched the NHL playoffs.

Them and their whole Canadian lives matter thing.

And the Canadiens lost to Tampa of all places.
