Yup, never seen such petty bullshit. The women in the league have been screaming for this type of treatment for years now but it finally happens and it's the classic "not like that!!!" from them. We were supposed to fall in love with the slow, unathletic, dogshit version of the game they were playing and no changes were necessary on their part. We were the problem. Well, change has come and it's Caitlyn Clark. She's fun to watch and it's the best thing to ever happen to the league.
 
I've said it before, but they need more teams. They draft talented college players and either don't let them play or run them out of the league because there are no roster spots available and no developmental league.
 
Remember, USA Basketball took Lebron James to the 2004 olympics when he was 19 and also not one of the best players in the world yet because they knew he was developing into an animal, the experience was going to be great for him and the exposure good for the NBA game. Fast forward 20 years and the NBA is signing a 76 fucking Billion dollar broadcast rights deal with some of the biggest companies on the planet.

The people involved on the corporate sponsor side should be quietly elbowing these idiots in the ribs to do the right thing.

League is getting exactly what it needed ...more exposure , visibility , casual fans in the seats , more $ because of CC

Yet jealousy and hate like Reese is making this into a joke

CC is giving them a Tigeresque moment where the league will get more money , better TV contracts , and now chartered flights , etc...

Embrace the fucken gift Reese , you dont put asses in the seats or sell luxury suites .

Can you explain how this 76 gazillion billion works on the media side

I get the NBA gets loaded but how do the these broadcast rights partners get their money besides peeps watching

This number is astronomical and not sure if everyone will benefit

The serious answer is pretty complicated tbh. Most of it comes down to how they're slicing and dicing rights between multiple partners now that streamers are in the game, in conjunction with the value of live sports continuing to go up.

Throw in some inter segment rivalry between media companies, CEO's concerned about the impact on losing the rights, etc, etc and it reaches some huge numbers. NBA has shown the ability to continue to generate marketable stars over and over again as well. The mega stars over the years (Mike, Shaq, Kobe, Lebron) to the secondary guys who get hot for a few years (Vince, DRose, etc). All are valuable media properties. You can sell the shit out of the advertising for a Saturday afternoon Jason Tatum vs Jalen Brunson matchup ffs. So Adam Silver standing in front of you and telling you that Victor, Antman, or whoever are going to be marketable faces for the next decade is an easy sell. The NBA is just really good at doing it.
 
lol one of the all time great comebacks and the refs manage to get Luka fouled out of the game with 4 minutes left.


fuck boston so much.
