[NBA] Comments that don't warrant a thread (DEC)

Even when healthy Zion Williamson would not help our defense. History tells us that stacking a bunch of big-time scorers together ultimately leads to diminishing returns. But more importantly, I can't imagine anyone is looking at the state of the New Orleans Pelicans right now and saying to themselves: "I want some of that!" Buyer beware.
I don’t think you can compare anything to the NFL. Pretty easy to keep the attention of the masses when you only have a 17 game season.
I think the Cup has been a success so far but it has a ways to go to be really intriguing. Sounds like the plan is to move it to later in the season next year and Id imagine they start raising the stakes some.

He makes some good points here. Brief summary for those that don’t want to watch: League has been “in trouble” for the entirety of its existence and every few years a “unicorn” event comes along and things trend up. League as a whole is doing well, especially internationally. Points out that ratings don’t really matter given the mega tv deal they just got and he believes ratings are down but interest is not (nba consumed in many ways other than watching full games on tv.

I'm not sure if it even matters unless the "unicorn" is intriguing in some way other than just merely being good at basketball. Being a good basketball player in 2024 is not really aesthetically pleasing. They're just grinding all game to get whistles instead of actually outplaying and outsmarting their opponents.
yeh I do think the foul seekers and the cookie cutter team builds/style of play are the two biggest things to address. The foul thing can be fixed but teams all looking the same might be a bit more difficult. Having said that, I still love watching the NBA and will easily choose to watch it over college ball which doesn’t have the foul merchants and allows more defense. The talent is the show, every night you see some player make an impossible shot or displace some other freak skill. That’s the draw for me.
