Unfortunately, I do. There are a lot of social justice warriors in the NBA, but those two ******s are some of the worst.

The NBA averaged 11.3 million viewers per game last season. Down from 22' and 23' but slightly higher than 21'.

By comparison the NFL averaged 17.3 million per game in 23'.

No because modern basketball sucks. I'm not so simple minded to choose what I enjoy based on political views of participants.

I literally haven't watched it since the days of Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker. It's a shame what they've done to pro sports..

Stopped following the NBA awhile ago. Love basketball, especially
College, but NBA is too woke and absolutely hates guys like me. I'm glad to walk away.

My late grandmother was the biggest Spurs fan. I remember going downtown in 99 after winning the championship.

I feel like NBA has really changed a lot over the last 10+ years and just a shell of what it used to be

Same. If I am going to watch any pro hoops, it will be Caitlin Clark. F the NBA.

College hoops is greatness and it has the best playoff system ever created for gaining interest.

Caitlin Clark is a badass.

Honestly more enjoyable to watch than the ancient coaches and old players making political statements all the time

That's not true. Your life would measurably improve.

11.3 per game? More like 1.4 for regular season games. NBA finals games average something like 11-12 most years. NFL cellar dweller games in October dwarf almost any NBA finals game ever.

I have not watched a game since Manu & Duncan retired.

Could MJ have won without Kerr? Absolutely. Could Pop have won without Kerr? Absolutely. Could Super Duper Warrior teams have won without Kerr? Absolutely. Could the Olympic team have won without Kerr? Absolutely.

Could MJ have won without Phil Jackson? Kerr is one lucky dude.

No, not in 10+ years. I like the Spurs. I don't like Pop. He needs to go.

Who has won the last 5 years?

Purity tests that narrow down entertainment options are no way to enjoy life. That's how we got Contemporary Christian Music.

I would watch it, but I am disgusted by its lack of diversity.

NBA is the worst of the woke sports leagues. Since Jordan left the Bulls I've watched very very little. Didn't even know the Mavs were in the finals this year until I overheard someone talking about it.

11.3 million avg per regular season games?

You are correct. It's 17-18 million per NFL regular season game and between 1-2 million for regular season NBA games. Thst makes MUCH more sense. I'm in the 0% foe NBA group.

Rarely.

I watched the post-season last year only because my Denver Nuggets won. I otherwise don't pay attention much.

meh. The first two rounds are just cleaning out the chaff. A few low seeds make a run for it, but they peter out eventually. Mostly the easy tournament entrance just makes the season less important.

But I haven't watched a Basketball game since leaving college, so that's just my worthless outsiders opinion.
