Sports media Watch Please read as they have done the hard work of researching this and deserve the credit of writing this article and Giving context.
A lot has been made lately of the NBA TV ratings. without context to how many people no longer have cable to watch said “Games”
The NBA Signed a 76 Billion with B TV deal this past summer for 11 years with ESPN/ABC , NBC/Peacock and Amazon. Which avgs 7.6 billion a year. This is the second Most lucrative TV deal in North America Sports history. The Number of viewers is still higher than 1.6 million a game, but With mainly a cable TV pay audience comparing them to the NFL is Not the same as they are on broadcast tv, Which is free to watch on America.
With 32 million less people even able to watch The NBA has maintained the same level Of viewers while keeping Cable TV necessary as a pillar of programming along other live sports like the CFP, ESPN Early coverage of Wimbledon.
So do they have a problem yes and it is their customers willingness to pay for cable who pays them for their product
As they move to Amazon Streaming and Peacock exclusive games. We see how 1.6 mill translates to increased Subs for those platforms.
But make no mistake about it The NBA is fine and their only concern currently is the negative coverage of their league as a whole from the media who push the NFL as they need them to drive ratings. Notice Alot it comes from Fox who has no NBA game rights, Also Ja Morant is back and healthy and needs to get more national games.
And as always ” If it doesn’t make $$, it don’t make sense.”

Ace & Malik breakdown the the 3 semi final series that ended Sunday ,and Preview the ECF & WCF that start on Tuesday.
We start by giving insight into what the knicks future seasons may hold for them why Daymond was wrong about the Wolves and Gobert and Why Ace believes the Timberwolves are a team of destiny.
Cavs Will keep it close playing for the Series. Mobley can take advantage inside and Garland has the greenlight without Mitchell and LeVert Will go hard. The Cs will relax and cruise.
The Stars are just flat out better and being at home helps Alot I expect them to get to the Stanley Cup Final.
The Sky are missing Cardoso, but have Reese and she is a great defender and will help inside and Chicago is picked to finished last in the east But I believe they will surprise Teams early. Early weeks of WNBA take advantage of Big spreads.
