Why Are NBA Ratings So Low This Year? Should They Be Worried?

The NBA is very savvy at marketing. They produce stars that are world famous. Players like LeBron, Harden and Giannis are all great and very popular. The two LA teams both have great teams and the two New York teams are struggling but at least they are interesting as well.

Here are a few reasons that I think the ratings are so low.

The Golden State dynasty ended. Klay, Steph and Durant (signed with Brooklyn) are all hurt.

The league is popular with young fans especially the young fans are more likely to illegally watch the games online them pay for cable and watch on a traditional network.

The huge dispute between Daryl Morey and China has put the NBA in a bad light internationally.

The fact that the Raptors won last year might have hurt US ratings because a Canada’s team just doesn’t bring in as many American viewers as an American team does. (I’m Canadian🇨🇦 by the way)

Who knows the exact reason for the ratings decline? It could be a combination of factors. What do you think?
