Here’s more data on why the NBA has lost half of America.

NFL and NBA viewership numbers from Christmas Day games just a few days ago : (via @mysportsupdate )

NFL:

- Raiders-Chiefs: 29.17M
- Giants-Eagles: 29.02M
- Ravens-49ers: 27.23M

NBA (viewership via @sportsrapport)

- Bucks-Knicks: 2.5M
- Warriors-Nuggets: 4.1M
- Celtics-Lakers: 5.0M
- 76ers-Heat: 1.3M
- Mavericks-Suns: 1.5m

The worst NFL game on Christmas Day got more views than all NBA games combined x 2:

⁃Ravens vs 49ers 27.23m
⁃Total views of 5 NBA games: 14.4m

1 NFL game got 2 X the viewers of 5 NBA Games!?!? That’s embarrassing to say the least.

Now, your argument will be the NBA is more popular worldwide than NFL is. That’s probably true because of what Jordan, Barkley, Kobe and others did to help with that. The NFL is now playing internationally - and the new fans love it.

But the truth is the NFL has to work to do internationally, which I agree with.

Here’s what’s even more embarrassing. The NBA has lost 50% of viewers in the last decade in the country the game was founded in.

It’s quite pathetic to go to other countries to convince advertisers why it’s worth more to pay to be sponsors.

I understand sales but American companies will be asking for real data when advertising.

As a possible sponsor I want to know how many eye balls you’re getting in America, not in CHINA.

Let’s compare NFL to NBA total viewership per game in 2022:

NFL: 21.9m views
NBA: 4.3m views

Let’s continue with the math:

NBA plays 82 regular season games:
82 x 4.3m = 352.6 total views

NFL plays ONLY 17 games, however…
17 x 21.9m = 372.3m total views

Meaning, NFL gets more eyes balls in 17 games than NBA does in 82.

That’s like a basketball player scoring more points by only taking 17 shots han an opponent scoring fewer points even though he took 82 shots. 🤔

Even Commissioner Adam Silver had to address the decline in viewership, “The Decline of cable has disproportionately impacted the NBA”.

OK, that could be a valid reason but why hasn’t the same happened to the NFL?

Sounds more like an excuse to me.

The only NBA rating that has increased is the show “NBA on TNT”. I’d much rather watch Shaq, Barkley, Kenny and Ernie banter than watch the actual game.

Let’s look at revenues next by sport in 2022:

https://t.co/lfIOVGL9ZE $17b
https://t.co/40ctMAOHtS $10.5b
https://t.co/RVFolTcyuw $9.6b
4.NHL $4.9b

I know you @CoachKarl22 were curious for MLB so hopefully that gives you some insight.

I will say MLB has work to do to make the game more exciting. It’s the reason why I got involved.

1.I love the game
2.I love America

Baseball to me is a spiritual game and it represents American history.

Now, here are some of the reasons why I believe we got here:

1.Every league has to decide who their number 1 customer is.

The leagues that do well, their number 1 customer is the fan.

NBA’s number 1 customer is the player. Terrible mindset.

It’s caused many players to be entitled.

Not their fault. It’s the leagues fault.

2. NBA contracts protect players more than they protect owners & fans

When you (Coach Karl) were coaching in the 80’s and 90’s, it was more common for players to play the entire season.

The mindset was play hurt. And this is when conditioning wasn’t at the level of advancement we have today.

How is it that with better conditioning, better doctors, better data, better technology, players seem to be more hurt than before?

Is it that the league is more aggressive and tougher today than it was during the 80’s Pistons/Celtics/76ers, or the 90’s Knicks? No way. How many hard fouls in paint during that era would be Flagrant-1 today?

I’m sure YOU as a coach who started coaching in the NBA in 1978 and won 1,175 games, KNOW exactly what I’m talking about.

It’s ok for players to take a day or two off to recoup from whatever excuse they give fans.

⁃Anxiety
⁃Mental day
⁃A broken heart
