Watch FIBA basketball if you want real Basketball
Euro leagues are dominated by nba rejects.
Isn't it like the 2nd most watched sport in america?
Yes, and that is fricking pathetic
>y dunt everywun like what i like
Nope
>NFL football
>College football
>MLB
>College basketball
>Horse racing
>NBA
Stop coping and use your brain. None of those sports are going to sign TV deals anywhere near there deal that the nba will get
NHL is a regional sport and this number is probably dragged down by the sun belt markets.
I bet in its core (northeast and obviously Canada) its significantly higher than the NBA.
lol is this real?
Yeah, foreigners greatly overestimate how popular NBA is here, which is completely understandable given the amount of media attention it gets.
The teams are mostly afterthoughts in their own city, afterthoughts to NFL teams, MLB teams, NHL teams, college sports teams. There's very few exceptions to this, not sure there are any exceptions outside of California. I guess Memphis/OKC where the NBA team is the only pro team.
Here in Charlotte where I am, I see way more about the 2 year old MLS team than the NBA team.
Yes of course, nobody has ever watched it which is why its about to sign over six billion in annual television deals, 3x MLB.

Game 1 2023 WS(Diamondbacks) Local Rating 16.0
Game 1 2021 Finals(Suns) Local Rating 23.7
For Games 1, 2 and 3, 2023 Stanley Cup Panthers-Hurricanes games on TNT drew local ratings of 2.51, 2.55 and 3.09. At the same time, Games 1-4 of the Heat-Celtics series on TNT drew ratings of 8.3, 8.45, 11.66 and 11.72.
MLB's overall national media rights agreements, which include a $729 million-per-year deal with Fox, $560 million with ESPN, $535 million with Warner Bros. Discovery, and $85 million with Apple.
That adds up to 1.9 billion which is less than the 2.6 billion that the NBA makes currently, even before its next new deal which will double in value and make the NBAs revenue far exceed MLB.
Baseball fans don't collect as much food stamps and welfare checks as NBA fans do, goyslop is the number one advertiser, so the NBA's TV rights are worth more.
Coping is the process of managing, adapting to, or dealing with difficult situations or emotions. People cope in various ways, such as seeking support from friends or family, engaging in activities they enjoy, practicing mindfulness or relaxation techniques, or seeking professional help if needed. Coping strategies can vary depending on the individual and the situation they are facing. It's important to find healthy coping mechanisms that work for you and to remember that it's okay to ask for help when needed.
Baseball since the beginning of this century has become highly regionalized; most baseball fans are fans of their team and only having a passing interest in the game outside of them. Also Sunday Night Baseball has been shit ever since Miller and Morgan left the booth and let women in (Jessica Mendoza FRICKING SUCKS). So that's why the NBA and MLB are going opposite directions.
tl;dr The NBA's fans are more willing to watch games for player vs player matchups in national games, MLB's fans will just watch their team during the season hence higher ratings than NHL and NBA in their shared markets.
The point is that overall, NBA > MLB.
And that is proven by what Comcast and Disney and so on are willing to pay to have it
>Yeah okay more people watch baseball, but look at this other thing!
I’m surprised you didn’t whip out one of your Google charts like you usually do, homosexual
There is no other thing other then the objective fact that all of the major media companies which make money off of viewership value the NBA much more as an intellectual property then the MLB
Except you're just ignoring the fact that local ratings (aka what most NBA games are measured by because most games aren't on national TV with a LeBron vs Curry matchup) are lower than MLB which has been shown multiple times to be true, so not sure how that correlates to "overall" the NBA being more watched in the U.S. And this is all stupid to argue about anyway because football blows out everything in ratings.
Now you’re coping by bringing up football.
Obviously, your statements on popularity could not be true otherwise the networks would prioritize and financially pay more for baseball over basketball, but they clearly unwilling to do so, so you’re obviously wrong.
NBA fans are moronic and advertisers know it, so they pay a lot of money to air their doordash ad during the game.
But also, you're using only national broadcast, not including RSN rights, which is a substantial chunk of MLB's revenue. Overall, MLB teams have higher average revenue, despite the NBA's significantly higher popularity outside the USA
> Overall, MLB teams have higher average revenue, despite the NBA's significantly higher popularity outside the USA
After the contract renewals this session which makes tv revenue go from 2.6 billion to 6 billion the revenue will be far higher in bssketabll
>regional sports network telecasts only
Doesn't this mean "how many boomers are watching games on their TV like cavemen"?
Zoomer NBA fans just watch dunk highlights on tiktok and look at memes about the players personal lives, at least the boomers are actually watching the games
baseball avg viewers 96k
nhl avg viewers 45k
yet baseballs "gross season audience" is 5 times as high.
american maths everyone
>German education
>the NBA is going to get a better tv deal than the NFL
Black person NFL preseason games routinely get better ratings than marquee NBA games, what fricking planet do you live on
>Horse Racing
nah NBA ratings are kind of misleading because everyone watches a couple games and ignores 95% of the rest
On regional channels, baseball ratings kill NBA ratings despite there being twice as many games and them being broadcasted when there are more things to do (summer)

No
NBA is firmly behind NFL, College Football and MLB. There's honestly a solid case to be made that College Basketball is actually ahead of the NBA, its postseason is more popular at least.
I guess if you combine College Basketball and NBA then basketball is the second most watched sport, but the audiences of the two don't actually overlap that much. College Basketball rules are more similar to FIBA than they are to NBA, though still distinct from both.
Basketball is, but the most watched NBA finals game might not even be top 5 in basketball viewership in USA this year.
No
The 2nd most talked about? Yeah maybe.
Not a real sport. Only wiggers and israelites and their pets watch this silly squeaky after-school activity
>female opinions
Why dont they just introduce VAR in NBA
they have a replay center
well, they should start using it then
i turned on a nba game last night and saw so many travels going uncalled. i haven't watched pro basketball in more than 10 years.
is this the norm now?
>NBA is just walking a ball from end to end
>NFL is just oversized padded helmets with 2 hours worth of truck commercials
I don't understand how anyone can watch these sports anymore.
not a travel. the first step was a gather.
Traveling functions the same as holding does in the NFL. It happens and could be called on nearly every single play/possession, but the only time it ever actually is is for rigging purposes
