Adam Silver is the worst Commissioner arguably in the NBA's history. He's literally made the game less watchable.
He made the game for the ego and entitlement of LeBron and let Klutch turn the league into the WWE. He doesn’t care about the fans. That’s why all sports leagues are growing except the NBA.
WNBA is booming - NFL booming - the pitch clock has baseball ratings up 15% and growing as they are finally listening to fans not players.
They told complaining players - figure it out.
The NBA is the only league working for the ego of the players not the fans.
Oh, is that why networks are paying them billions to air their games?
@@deadflies4265 I disagree with the OP but your response is spectacularly clueless. The reason networks are paying all this money is because people watch sports live, which means it will have a ton of commercials in it that people will watch, unlike shows that people stream without commercials. The price for all sports has skyrocketed because that is the one place you can still sell a ton of ads.
Yeah he's so horrible, he secured a 76B dollar bag 😂
He has made the game unwatchable, and he had major assistance from a PED-fueled megalomaniac.
I'll just continue to illegally stream any game I want on my TV
How can I do so lol
@@jamesmangham-n8cgotta get a VPN and just crack League Pass. It takes about 3-4 minutes

This another reason why viewership is Down
NBA ratings are about to decline even more now
How if NBA games can be legally streamed on Amazon for 15 bucks that not locked behind cable that's more viewers
Not sure how ratings are declining yet contracts and salaries keep increasing. Just doesn't make sense to me.
I guess you're following the nba ratings decline
@@chan13153thru sales and tickets. Rating are still down though. That’s why game tickets be high as hell.

They didn’t like the TNT crew being real and calling out the ish
Business is business.not a love boat.tnt took it to granted
Calling NBA on TNT iconic isn't enough best sport show about any sport for years now
Iconic is the right word. It’s just people misuse the word nowadays, so it’s lost its meaning. Inside the MBA is actually iconic unlike the other things being categorized as such.
Decades
Facts
Stop watching basketball a decade ago but TNT's broadcast is hilarious
Nba TNT alone is often before the actual games, its embarrassing and a slap to the TNT crew
Capitalism doesn’t care about workers
It’s basically ‘fu&k the fans’. They bite the hands that feed them. If you want to watch the NBA you’ll have to pay for streaming. Cancelling the best sport show of all time says a lot about Adam Silver and the NBA.
Inside the NBA is actually more entertaining than the NBA regular season games. We watch just to see the TNT coverage. They think the ratings are bad now?? Wait till they want people to sign up for prime during football season to watch regular season NBA without inside to bring in viewers.
The NBA thinks people are gonna buy 3 different streaming services and cable to watch regular season NBA?? They are gonna lose more viewers. This will be a good opportunity for college basketball and women’s college ball to gain popularity as they are gonna be on tv and the NBA will be on peacock and prime.
Karma is a B.. The executive at Time Warner said we don’t need the NBA…. Now they begging like a 304
304 is old school you gotta be 35+ to know that phrase. 😂
Are we really surprised, Charles? Shaq feels that Kobe Bean is #2 all-time. Wasn't Barkley at one point wondering why they weren't talking about players or teams other than LeClown/Lakers? 🤷🏾♂️
Amazon has agreed to pay the monies as well as promote the agenda. It's clear the nba was ready to part ways.
doesn't mean Barkley is wrong, in fact that is the TRUTH!
That means they are also parting ways with paying fans that aren't believing what they hear on other outlets. Fans aren't blind to the league's issues.
Edit: Hella grammar
@@ARWINMACHADO Agreed

The nbgay just gets worse and worse. 2010 and 2020 eras are trash

yeah they love the bandit of the booty
No lies told!!!!💯💯💯
Just face it the NBA don't want you anymore because the TNT crew spits facts and don't kiss players ass!
True! Charles & Shaq are entertaining but neither brings any real basketball analysis. But I do think the NBA should keep the TNT crew but everything comes to an end eventually
@KingoftheSouth78 You just said true and then proceed to say they don't bring basketball analysis? What the hell are you talking about?
@@jcjc248I said they bring entertainment. Barkley admits that he doesn’t watch the games. My point is I watch them for entertainment not a break down of the game
TNT would be smart to offer Ej, Kenny, Shaq and Chuck a time slot of 8pm - 12am on Thursdays where they just sit around and comment about games going on around the league. Like the Manning Cast for MNF. They can talk about basketball happenings throughout the week. I’m not tuning into Amazon to watch Draymond and other boring people. And I don’t care about national games unless it involves my favorite team.
While everyone's saying nobody's watching the NBA anymore networks are paying billions of dollars to air the games.
Because the league has them youngest audience of all the leagues which is very important for Amazon and advertisers to make money on marketing to them that's why TNT had no shot to replace Amazon it's a win win for NBA and amazon😂
Not to mention but the next time the NBA is negotiating with Amazon they will raise the price even more and amazon will pay it because they will have made 2 or 3 times what they paid for the rights
@@anthonyreyes8868 exactly, youre one of the only persons that is mentioning Amazon. This is about the NBA trying to broaden its customer base by capturing international audiences via Amazon and its packages. Thats it. All this other talk is a circle jerk.
Have you seen the ratings? They’ve been terrible for like the past 3-4 years.
To stream the games to make you pay to see. No more free games.
We need to see the legal documents before having any opinion...
So pretty much the NBA wants a bigger international audience and since TNT can't give them that they were already decided on going to Amazon. I've been saying they've been playing Euroball for years, so this doesn't surprise me one bit.
Cdz30
They play euroball?
No, they don't play euroball at all. Euroball is competive Basketball. The Euroleague is way more competitive than rigged NBA. The regular NBA season with it's 82 games is trash all over the place. Next to nothing defensive plays except the knicks team, some 3 and d guys or two way wings, who are very rare. Tray Young, Dame Lillard, LeBron and many others doesn't play defense at all. Nobody cares playing regular season games. 30 % of all NBA teams are "beautifully tanking". No team is tanking in the euro league.
NBA has the most talented players, but the NBA wastes this talent. Hard to watch all star games, hard to watch team USA now in France. No team basketbaln; hard tobwatch USA, nice to watch South Sudan, Germany, Canada, Serbia, Australia. USA may win the gold medal nevertheless because of the exceptional individual talent of their single players, but the team as s team is trash nevertheless. The plays of team USA are hard to watch. Steve Kerr said it in during the last days. Iso ball, no team chemistry, no game plan, nothing but Iso ball. It's boring af to watch this harlem globetrotteresque physical jumping out of the gym slam dunk contest showcase bs. Nobody wants to see this. It's boring.
@@Marco-uh5zn it is boring and non competitive. I also wouldn’t call it globetrotter ball as at least that is meant to be pure entertainment. What the nba has devolved to is something where they do the bare minimum and is heavily favored towards offense and not even good offense at that. However it also coincides with the rise of international players as superstars. It just doesn’t feel like NBA basketball at all
Basically what the NBA said is,
“we’ve already been making plans for years with our new partner for the future of the NBA in anticipation of TNT not being able to match the deal we colluded on to price them out, and we’re not honoring our contract as a result.”
Completely illegal on several fronts.
Don't forget...ESPN is leaving cable tv next year and will only be available via streaming which is going to reduce the number of NBA games on tv further.
What does that have to do with this?
Espn can't leave cable if they so there lose NHL NBA MLB and NHL tv rights
I don’t know anybody who watches the NBA other than myself and I know a lot of people. When I was coming up basketball was huge. Everybody watched it. Now the average person has no idea who just won the finals nor do they care.
@@osmanburlington1265 watch is more crazy is that NHL finals will be on cable in 2025 and 2027
@@jcjc248 It further demonstrates how the landscape of live sports programming is changing to streaming and why The NBA would decide to abandon TNT.
Chuck has stated he is already done, no matter what happens. I also see Ernie leaving over all this, which pretty much kills the dynamic regardless. And no other squad has connected to the fans like them.
When playing hardball goes wrong. Cant publicly say I dont need you then get mad when the other party leaves.
I will miss the NBA on TNT I will not be getting any Disney + or any online garbage on these sports . I now paid on cable with the sports package over $ 311. 61 and now I have to add on on line service for a person who is retried and worked part time to try to makes end meet? Sports will end for me if all the sports goes this way.
Lol president or whatever of TNT literally said they don't need the NBA in the past.
Adam Silver ruined basketball
Yall got to pay for those 300mil 150mil 275mil salaries yall praising for a game that isnt worth watching. MJ ❤4ever the GOAT periodt love the 90s when the NBA was Fantastic and I love this game was the motto.
Imagine being able to sue someone cause they wont accept your billions of dollars.
But if TNT match why continue with Amazon? I’m just curious why go to streaming than cable? More Amazon Prime customers than cable i can’t see that
@@r1c0718 well i know for a fact there is more prime subscriptions then cable subscriptions so i guess it actually makes sense.
@@r1c0718 the only people who have cable are businesses anymore. To have it run on tvs.
@@r1c0718yeah. Now it will allow Amazon to get money from you for different circumstances. Amazon paid for access
@@r1c0718 NBA wants to pivot. They might be in rude awakening that if people are streaming anyway, they might as well use the free streaming
So the NBA said TNT didn't match, and TNT said they matched? Is there some nuance, or one of them blatantly lying?
WBD actions reminds me of how I broke up with my ex. She thought I was bluffing with my ultimatum. A year later, I was in a better relationship/life and that’s when she came back begging. WBD’s actions are even more pathetic, how you gonna force yourself back in a relationship that’s already moved on with another ? Because you’re Unhinged. The executives of that company should be fired for their insane actions.
Adam silver might be the worse commissioner in sports
All I heard was the A package from ESPN allows you to see the NBA Finals. So if you only got the B or less package, you cant see the Finals? Am I interpretating that wrong?
NBA will one because of the wording of the contract . TNT has to match it precisely
Their up front payment is funded differently so they ditched em like they always wanted.
Yes they knew TNT'a parent company has money problems that Amazon does not have they can't find the first three years in cash like Amazon can
@@anthonyreyes8868 exactly!
The only way we still have inside the nba is if the players do something. They hold all the power. Adam Silver is a Spineless lawyer. Sure hope he doesn’t get invited on the show this year! I’d pay to see Shaq and Chuck sit on him.
Adam Silver please quit. The game is terrible. No physicality, less skills. Literally like watching a YMCA pickup game. Just quit Silver.
In the UK, NBA is coming back to Sky Sports in 2025… For 11 year TV rights… TNT Sports UK will only have British football to promote
What does that have to do with this?
Do you live in the UK? So no.. you don’t have to reply
TNT is the same company on the U.S. Warner Discovery is international
I got rid of amazon prime. And this wont make me go back
This is dumb. They don't want you..move on!
For overseas fans like me, Amazon is better
That's a big reason NBA chose them
They will have region lock...
TNT LETS GOOOOOO!!!
Waste of their money to try & fight it.
Their
No it’s not it’s a PR Problem for NBA plus if it’s in their contract of matching a bid then NBA will lose this legal battle. I love this way to go TNT sue them
The NBA ratings are about to nosedive even further! The on court product is terrible and Adam Silver isn’t the best commissioner out of the four major sports!
how can they sue NBA? a company decide to make a deal with another company instead of the long partner company. isn't this is normal business decision???
It’s in there contract they have the right to match any deal they are within there rights Ted Turner made sure that was in the contract back in the 80’s
The funny thing is I watched more WNBA games on ABC, CBS and ION this season than I did NBA games this past season. NBA just isn't must see tv for me anymore. I just check to see who won and stats now.
On the face of it, TNT seem to be ridiculous for trying to force the NBA into staying with them. The key aspect will boil down to the contract clauses and interpretation of corporate law because the 'matching' of deal offers is subjective.
The ramifications of TNT succeeding could have a huge downside for all business contracts depending on how bad the NBA TNT specific clauses were.
Didn’t someone from WBD say that they could survive without the nba? I think that rubbed Adam Silverslipper the wrong way lol 💯
Depends on the language in the contract between the NBA and TNT’ because basically TNT said we will match Amazon offer and from what the NBA put out there is saying that TNT didn’t…..so this will be interesting
the TNT panel barely even analyze games, they just bash on players and talk about the good ol days, I'm glad its over.
The NBC panel in the 90's built up games and celebrated great players.
Well your avatar is of Carl Winslow, I wouldn't expect you to feel any different..🤣
@@TruthSerum99-zq9fiexactly and spoken like you didn’t play nor understand the game and the show
@@champ8760 Smoke is what you want? A debate about basketball is what you want? Ok who's the GOAT? Hmm?
@@champ8760 Name your top 5 in order. Let's see how much you understand the game. Challenge accepted lol
For those complaining about losing Inside the NBA...
If TNT kept the rights.. the studio show as we love it only lasts about another 3 years anyway... and then what?
changes to the cast were coming sooner than later.
They need to take the games away from ESPN. I will watch NBC now
If TNT were profiting 3x of 1.8B annually, they would have bid a lot more than $1.8. Hell, Google and Microsoft would have wanted to bid. Seriously do people not understand anything about business these days?
No they don’t. They also don’t understand what inflation is when they brag about how big the tv deal is compared to the past. And you’re right. If it was popular media companies would have been falling all over themselves to make a huge bid but they didn’t.
@@t.yop9 TNT for life!
At the end of the day the consumers will pay the bills
TNT should sue and make NBA settle out of court!
What's new, Adam Silver has zero integrity and love for the game, he only cares about profits and marketability of the organization he inherited
The NBA by the end up in debt if TNT have the rights to make Amazon offer the NBA is in trouble
No drama matching rights is not only money but other intangibles and layman's term league pass on Amazon is more beneficial than max
I won't be watching the NBA on Amazon.The NBA is unwatchable
Adam Silver is shit for a commissioner of the NBA that's why me dont watch cause the games are so hard to watch
I blame the jew on him
The WNBA don't deserve not one penny let the WNBA sink or swim on it own 😮😮.
This is so interesting. I watched the last video, spent some time thinking about it, and then came across this one. The more I think about it, they could actually just not want the honest coverage to TNT brings. The presence of Disney in this whole equation only furthers that.
Unless they truly think that Turner didn’t match the offer, this is probably politics of some sort. look at how hard ESPN has tried to create narratives using Lebron…Disney is no different. This could absolutely be them trying to create an environment where they have total control of the narrative.
Look how Disney handled Star Wars in general. They purposely screwed the fans at every turn in favor of an agenda. What are they doing with this deal? They’re in essence screwing the fans.
One thing is for sure. Disney and ESPN will not want to go into discovery. You can bet on it.
this is stupid. “In Hot Water”? In hot water why, first the deal does not match it, second the NBA as an organization has the right to look for their best deal.Only a simpleton would think that they have to marry themselves with a broadcast partner indefinitely!
The NBA wants to leave this situation for a better situation which in my opinion is a great situation. I view this as opportunity for the NBA to be more accessible like its counterparts the NFL. The NFL has more exposure to its consumers which why it is a 6 billion dollars organization. The NFL is on almost every major networks like FOX, NBC, CBS and ESPN. This deal that the NBA has will greatly benefit them not just monetary but in terms of exposure which means higher ratings.
NBA won’t be getting higher ratings their ratings have been suffering ever since 2020.
It's finished. ESPN, NBC, and Amazon got their deal. Unlikely that TNT succeed with their lawsuit. Interesting to see if NBA viewership declines.
That's not how things work. If TNT had the RIGHT to offer Amazons deal, it's illegal to deny TNT's offer if TNT matched that offer before a specific deadline.
That's ILLEGAL bro.
It doesn't matter if ratings decline we the public have short attention spans (and companies know this) and the money the NBA is getting paid is FU money to not care about those things Adam silver won period
Makes sense to me. Amazon is everywhere. They can brand on anything like their delivery boxes and ads. Especially now since Amazon Prime allows commercials. From a business standpoint it works out for them in the end. Zaslav with WB been screwing up since the world shut down back in 2020. I don’t think Warner Bro has a leg to stand on. If ratings showed any kind of dip then they can easily justify we felt the streaming options with Amazon and NBC as the best option.
Plus TNT doesn't have else going outside of not having too many programs, its invested in college football plus NHL & hoops and keep in mind Tru TV is going to get the Mountain West & Big East in terms of college games
Chief, we know you can read, so please slow down a bit so that what you show on the screen matches what you're saying. It's getting frustrating having to pause the video--to read for myself--to catch what you outright missed or misread. Please, just take your time. We're ok listening to you. . . . .obviously.
They won awards for covering the NBA. I’m sorry I agree with the IPTV because who searching for these games when I can just go to the nba menu
Nba is not watchble anymore doesnt matter,not paying for it.
The NBA gonna call the Avengers and WB the justice league lol
Warner Bros. is going to lose, it's not their Business to make the decision on the product, they are a provider of services, but not the Supplier. If anything Warner Bros. had the leg up because they were cognisant of the landscape. In short, albeit, the relationship long, like any divorce, the grass appears greener($$$) on the other side. My 2 cents.
That's not how things work. If TNT had the RIGHT to offer Amazons deal, it's illegal to deny TNT's offer if TNT matched that offer before a specific deadline.
That's ILLEGAL bro.
@@TruthSerum99-zq9fi "If" is the key word, but really Warner Bros. should've had this package completed before deadline. Warner Bros. failed "NBA on TNT" by not doing their due diligence in keeping the deal. It's nobody's fault but their own.
@@dcmsr5141 That key word "if" is HIGHLY LIKELY due to the fact that they are SUING the NBA.
So again, IF they matched the offer before a deadline the NBA will lose the case. So make sure you consider all possibilities before you make a bold statement using FEELINGS instead of understanding the law. 😤💯
@@TruthSerum99-zq9fi Fair enough, Divorce is "FUGLY" to be polite. LOL
@@dcmsr5141 True. Lol anyway we slice it, the outcome will be bad.
TNT Crew is more entertaining than most of the games
I would litterally have higher odds in watching games when tnt was hosting
The NBA is making a COLOSSAL mistake. It's starting to sound to me as if we are going to have to pay to see NBA games. Good luck, because i don't watch them for free. Too much LeBron James, not enough actual talent.
Protest the Amazon deal at all cost
NBA has just hurt themselves like wow
Honestly, I don't care. Nba is garbage, not worth watching and all those media companies suck too. Great coverage though!
Listen up people. TNT gonna lose this court battle. The NBS A has the right to do what they want. Yes TNT can match the deal from the other networks. But that doesn’t mean the NBA has the right to choose whom they want. Plus TNT is a dead network. Amazon makes sense. They are a billion dollar giant . 😂😂😂😂
Nba wants a bias network
The nba is crazy for this after turner sports sign the old nba rights deal a couple of years ago Adam silver needs to leave the nba and take lebum with him this era of the NBA is soft like charman like Kobe said to his teammates 😂😂😂😂
TNT bargain NBA for less, when amazon wan to pay the full amount, they cry, TNT better give more lol.

They are not in hot water, this is a contractual dispute lmaoooooo!!! It will go to court, it will get dragged out, and more than likely TNT will lose, because on the other side of the contract is Amazon. And in America Greenbacks are King. Check the coffers between Amazon and TNT.
🧨🧨🧨
it looks like that if I can't get these games on leage pass next year will B the last year I will B watching the NBA
If you zoom out... it seems bizarre to me that the NBA cannot just choose who they'd rather accept payment from... imagine if your cousin wanted to pay you to do a job for them, but state stepped in and said "no, you gotta pay for XYZ to do that job for you"
😂 what?? it’s a clause that they negotiated in their contract way back.
@@champ8760 under what contexts? We're gunna find out... do they just have to match the total money offer, or do they have to also match number of platforms, outreach, marketing, and advertising rights, etc. ? NBA seems to be banking on the latter.
Waste of time. They’re not gonna win that.
If it’s in their contract of matching they most definitely will win this and NBA will be forced to to either give TNT a package over Amazon or give TNT billions of dollars to settle this case either way NBA LOSES
Lebron deserves a big chuck of that money. He's the reason we all tune in to the nba.
Speak for yourself bird brain 😂🤡🤣 can't wait till he retires lol
I agree. Ihave watched all comedies, none left to watch so I watch Lakers games to have a good laugh watching Lebron flop, cry, tantrum 😂😂
Except he's not a owner and won't get that chunk as there's other players who made the game "grow"
TBH I’m waiting for him to retire
