Cincinnati Business: LeBron James Is Reason For NBA Ratings Plunge ; Won't Show Games

Wrong thread.

**JIBBBY** · 04-24-21, 11:20 PM

Wrong thread post again.

I love how people on here want to say the nba sucks because of the social justice messages. Let’s take all the threads from SBR before any of it and you’ll clearly see the nba product is just not that fun to watch.
Too many fouls, too many games that feel shady, too many stoppages. Horrible game flow.
But ok let’s make it about that. Ratings were up at the beginning of the year but the product along with star players constantly resting is what makes it uninteresting.
Everyone knows the nba season doesn’t matter much.
Let’s stop having these baby threads because some on here get some bent out of shape because basketball players don’t act like slaves for them and entertain them like they were gladiators.

Also the ratings plunge isn’t going to matter apparently because the next broadcast deal is suppose to be worth about 72 billion which is triple the last broadcast deal. So I think they are doing just fine without people crying that they get worked up seeing social messages.

**Bcatswin** · 04-25-21, 01:00 AM

I could care less duker, i think it's all a circus.

Funny to watch unfold.

Not a shock - Hard to watch, no defense, players act like it's a pickup at the local playground - Unwatchable unless you have a few bucks on it. If they give a crap in the playoffs, actually play defense, and stop launching constant 3's, I might be intrigued.

boy james is max racist .. oh youl see

**TheMoneyShot** · 04-25-21, 04:01 AM

Lebron James is pure Trash. Love it when he trails in a playoff series... dude just quits lol and cries. I don't believe Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant ever QUIT like this punk Lebron James.

**Easy-Rider 66** · 04-25-21, 05:26 AM

another day another dollar

**Eddy Munny** · 04-25-21, 05:50 AM

Lebron is a sheltered, low IQ cancer bathed in black privilege.

**jjgold** · 04-25-21, 06:11 AM

NBA players do not even respect James all you need to know

You're obviously missing the entire reason everyone hates Lebron

Race-Baiting

You're basically doing the same thing with your post duke

**JIBBBY** · 04-25-21, 08:53 AM

Lebron getting old now, he'll be out the league in a few years. I won't miss him that's for sure. I don't think the league will either. One less race baiter to deal with.

**The Kraken** · 04-25-21, 09:54 AM

Look at UFC last night, it was electrifying

No one cares bout lbj, just put put asses back in seats and everyone will start watching again

No one wants to watch teams scrimmage

That was the leg break event for the ages. Nasty stuff and nasty knock outs. Love the UFC!!!

**bruceBRUCEbruce** · 04-25-21, 10:00 AM

the regular season in the NBA is the worst product of all the big sports leagues.
yawn fest, night after night. even on the rare occasion when there's a regular season game that piques my interest, something seems to happen that douses that interest & I'm specifically referring to 76ers vs. Brooklyn a couple of weeks back when BKLYN sat 2 of their 3 stars.

**JIBBBY** · 04-25-21, 10:06 AM

Betting NBA games today!!

Like the Hornets in the early game +8 at home and love the Phoenix Suns at +2 in the afternoon game against the Nets.

Let's do this!! Will I watch the games probably not though.. Will I bet them oh hell yeah.

Blah Blah Blah

It's one of dozens of Lebron James threads.

It's a regular thing these days.

Did I make up the story or is factual?

**Jayvegas420** · 04-25-21, 10:15 AM

Yore right you’re right, we needed another thread then.

I’m no better than anyone else...is always a strong position to take!

He is the definition of black trash

Why would you guys care about this?

Didn't half you retards stop watching NBA last year???

What's left for overly sensitive right wing dummies to watch anymore?

Cant watch golf because Georgia voting laws, cant watch the MLB All-Star game, a backup QB hurt your butt when he knelt, so you cant watch NFL.

You either boycott something and shut the fukk up about it or watch the sport and complain all you want... You can't have it both ways.

**5mike5** · 05-04-21, 08:42 AM

Saloon this garbage

**5mike5** · 05-04-21, 08:46 AM

Didn't noticed who started it.

Figures lol

Exactly. One statement here and there when asked is Ok . But every damn second all over the court that is all you see.

**Demonata** · 05-04-21, 09:23 AM

Fuk lebron! Never take advice from him, he's just a basketball player to me.

The thread was dead until you bumped it, you silly boy... Maybe you enjoy the chorus of bellyaching?

Eddy....don’t be such an eloquently spoken dick.
