IMHO, NBA is in trouble. Judged from a few years ago, one regular season game day could generate 20-30 pages of replies and now it usually did 3-4 pages. Whole All star weekend has barely 8 pages replies? NBA becomes more and more boring each year. No defense played in regular season, let alone all-star games. All kind of meaningless inflated stats and players are absurdly paid with mega millions while playing with less effort and compassion. When Lebron, Curry, KD leave the game, they literally has no legit global appeal and face of the league.
If the players don't feel like playing then don't? Just turn it into a celebrity fan fest instead of giving us some bullshit azz regulation games. The celebrity all star was fun, I'll watch that still. Everything else, get rid of it!!
it’s definitely true that the NBA will have no face of the league after guys like Bron and Curry retire dudes like Luka, Giannis, Jokic etc just don’t have that type of appeal we’ll be back to that post-MJ period, but that period at least had Vince Carter for a few years and guys like Kobe
league is full of soft drama queens who are more interested in podcasts, fashion, music, gaming, etc... everything but ball lol those types of players aren't very appealing unless you're 12 years old lol
