Just bring back phyiscal play, hand checking, and defense overall. It will force more intensity and automatically cut the 3s down because you have defenders in your space. You aren't shooting 50 3s when a Gary Payton type defender is up into your jersey. If these dudes are the "most skilled ever" than they should be able to show us their best when real defense is being played again.
Im Michigan we cant watch the Pistons games unless we subscribe to Fan duel sports (formerly bally.) The games are not on any other channel. People arent paying 60 a month just to watch the pistons.
I can’t stand people saying the NBA style of play is why ratings are down. It’s a fundamental misunderstanding of the way people consume media. I can’t watch my team in my market without 3 different subscriptions. Fans aren’t doing that, so piracy will continue being the choice for them more and more
Look this is the fact about the All Star game that media doesn't want to point out. THE PLAYERS WERE PAID EXTRA FOR THE ALL STAR GAME AND DUNK CONTEST AND WHEN THEY STOPPED THE PLAY WENT DOWN GRADUALLY AS MJ AND KOBE AND THOSE WITH NATURAL COMPETITIVE NATURE RETIRED.
The NBA simply has a personality problem. Jason Tatum just won the NBA Championship, plays for a historical franchise (Celtics) and absolutely no one is interested. Compare this to a Kobe Bryant or a Lebron James. I mean Lebron & The Decision / Kobe & Shaq beef was more engaging than Tatum's finals run.

Agreed bring back hand checks and then show me what you got
They should remove the 3point line and that will change the game to a more watchable nba

If you miss a 3 pointer -1 point... that will solve the problem.

This take is exactly why SI is dying 😂😂😂😂

Allowing hand-checking on the perimeter is not a bad idea. It will make it easier to defend on ball.
What about eliminating the 3 point shot? Isn't that how it used to be?
I stopped watching the NBA in the early 10’s…. It just never hit the same once Kobe, Shaq, Duncan, Garnett all faded away..
Make the rim smaller, and I agree with taking away the ticky tack fouls.
Also, make the tickets more affordable and available to the everyman (or woman).
The fact is the NBA players, generally speaking, can NOT shoot.
It’s not a “Moneyball” thing. It’s a skill that most players DO NOT have.
Damn, that 16:30 hairstyle looks like he's wearing the inside liner of a bicycle helmet. I dont hate it....
Too many streamers are the main issue it’s not 3 points
The key demographic which reps the majority of NBA fans isn't buying cars, computers, or investing in stocks.
I think being paid $50m a year should result in playing 82 basketball games. You are a basketball player.
Chris mannix is one of the worst ever at talking sports.
Limit the number of 3 point attempts per game!
There’s no more putting a show for the fans these days…
NBA is woke, that's your problem
Whats woke
"LeBron has made it clear that he likes..." a large part of the Lakers' problem. Get a real front office and get the player out of it.
