If you're talking about TNT/ESPN probably yea. Nba TV is fine for the most partThe difference in analysis between the NFL and NBA is night and day though. The NFL media does a great job hyping up talent and breaking down plays on shows and even the commentators in game. With the NBA it’s all about narratives and emotions. If the super bowl was covered like the NBA, you don’t see analysts saying stuff like “Jalen Hurts doesn’t have the clutch gene!!!”
The NFL is just weird. There are like 5 great quarterbacks in a QB driven league and people still eat it up. The RB position is basically dead.I don't watch the NFL, but I think they have the better product than the NBA for fans.
Basketball is more fun to watch than American football, but in the NFL regular season games mattering way more, players try to play every game, and that the playoff match ups are one day each, makes it easy for fans.
And the fact most teams play on the same day of the week helps
And yeah, the NFL has way better broadcasters. Mostly because the NBA's are so bad.
Being a basketball fan is a bigger time investment. And a lot of regular people like simple easy to follow ****.
Personally, I don’t care how much profit the NBA makes. Or how their ratings are doing.
Me,None of us really care (because there is no reason to)
True. I don't play fantasy anymore but NFL was fun. NBA fantasy is damn near a part time jobI don't watch the NFL, but I think they have the better product than the NBA for fans.

Both of my younger brothers have gone from pretty avid NBA fans to casuals and have told me it’s for the exact reason you mention.
This is where I don't know what the answer is - or if there even is one. Six and 7 year deals can kill you. But 4 and 5 year deals don't matter when a guy can just turn around and say "**** this trade me" and tank you anyways.I don't think the owners, front office or fans want the six and seven year contracts in the league anymore.
There's plenty of bad football and bad football teams rolling out every Sunday - and officiating sucks over there, too. And there's not really any more parity there than there is in the NBA.I don't watch the NFL, but I think they have the better product than the NBA for fans.
They ok, the NFL definitely has it's issues, but for a casual fan with a busy life, it is still easier to follow than the NBA.The NFL is just weird. There are like 5 great quarterbacks in a QB driven league and people still eat it up. The RB position is basically dead.
I agree with all of this. But again it being an easier experience doesn’t make it a better product IMO. Not saying that’s what you said eitherThey ok, the NFL definitely has it's issues, but for a casual fan with a busy life, it is still easier to follow than the NBA.
Some of the advantages the NFL has is because of the culture prominence American football has built over many decades, but some of it is just that the fundamentals of the two leagues makes the NFL easier to get into.

Yea, you’ll always have your avid hardcore fans but when you aren’t able to pull in anyone new then it’s only a matter of time i.e. MLB. Buuuut the NBA isn’t down that bad.
Overall the product is bad but it can definitely still be saved. Celtics rested everyone against the Bucks a game which any fan would want to see but going to play against the Pistons. This is the bs that needs to change.
As I’ve said before honestly the players and the FO’s are burning down the house together at this point.
None of this is true. The NFL still has great RBs. The rules changes have altered the game
Who?? I been a fan of Lightskin Donte for a few years. Was hype they got him. Thought he was dope on Milwaukee. Thought he'd be a great gp2 replacement. He's been even better than I ever imagined.

The last like 10 Super Bowl winning teams have featured RB by committee. The days of the bell cow RB are long gone. RBs are basically rim running bigs at this point
