NBA HUMILIATED with LOW Ratings as LeBron James BLASTED by Woke Media 

I was a life long NBA fan, UNTIL it went woke and removed the game withing the game. And Rigged games and protected players like LeFlop

LaDoofus & Alice asked for it when they claimed, "we don't need certain people to watch our product" Careful watcha ask for.

Stephen A Smith ruined NBA. 😂

The game is unwatchable. Constant whistles, traveling on every drive. Most games are just one on one three point shooting contests

Who cares that they're two black coaches coaching in the NBA finals? It didn't help the ratings, did it?

The most cost effective way to increase interest overnight: pay off labron to retire.

As a Celtics since Bill Russell, I haven't watched one second or obviously attended one game or bought one product related to that league since 2020.

Media ruined the game

This may be the worst finals ratings wise in a long time, talk about boring

Lebron ruined the nba 💯

I know you love the NBA KC, but consider this: a lot of people are looking at the NBA the way YOU look at MLB... Ambivalence.

Everyone is tired of all these athletes pushing their garbage on everyone. People can't even look at them anymore.

Who needs Lebron but his fanboys and the media as well as hardcore liberals need him

Life time Boston sports fan and didn’t watch even one Celtics game let alone any others. I will not spend money and time on People who hate me for my skin color..f-them..

For decades hollywood, professional sports, and politicians were getting closer and closer, but it seems that the people have had enough of all three of them.

Glad I didnt watch the Finals. I haven't heard anything good about it.

So glad I was outside touching grass instead of watching the NBA or Dump.

Low NBA ratings like this and they're gonna get a $70 billion tv deal? Makes no sense.

Colin Kaepernick ruined the NFL for me. BLM ruined the NBA for me.

Oh the NBA was still playing

Bring back the 80/90s. Analytics ruined nba. All 3s, phantom fouls, flopping. No d, woke refs that want attention more than call accuracy and precision. No stars. No low post. No crossovers.

Not only is the NBa woke, but it is BORING basketball. BORING. Even watching the Sacramento to kings jack up 3 after 3, not knowing how to run a set play. It’s pathetic.

Great answer by the coach. Truly, just shows the media got to make EVERYTHING about race!

I didn't watch the NBA Finals nor the playoffs, and didn't miss it. I AM watching Caitlin Clark and the Fever!!!

Nba has always been Hollywood scripted entertainment,fans are barely figuring it out

R they going blame racism too for lack of viewership😒

Joe Mazullo is a stand up dude...And he is 50% black and 50% Italian!!

I saw a black catholic coach won a championship 😂😂😂

Imagine how bad the ratings would be without betting. Gotta take another 1/3 off that #

all professional sports are scripted that why nobody watching it but you😂

I can't say the drastic drop in NBA viewership makes me happy, but it doesn't surprise me in the slightest. The product is bad, there are no more "superstar players" and ESPN's woke coverage doesn't help anything. I don't know if the NBA's decline among the public is still a reflection of 2020, but I say that the product hasn't improved since then.

Its Caitlin Clark Effect Analogy working here for the NBA. ESPN & the NBA News Media were talking up Lebron one week after he lost his last 2024 playoff game and lost the MVP trophy to Jokic or Donjic. Trash Jokic & Donjic continued throughout the playoffs. How could you expect higher ratings over such arrogance and stupidity??

When team loyalty was gone, and people began following players instead, the NBA was over. You can't have a team sport be about individuals.

I would've preferred a Minnesota vs. Indiana NBA Finals.

I’ve been watching baseball. I thought the NBA was over because let’s face it. I just don’t care. And like you said, I’m watching a little bit of Kaitlyn Clark. Not the WNBA because it should be called the LNBA. My daughter is an athlete and the last sport I wanted her in was basketball. There are no role models there. As a player in my younger years, I loved Jerry West, Larry Bird and Dr J. My daughter would have to lower the bar to tattooed covered lesbians. No thanks.

I stopped watching the nba over a decade ago because of LeBrain and his crappy form of BB that has infected the entire nba with rampant cheating, whining, and complaining; this crap has to stop. The nba is boring as heck. The nba needs to GET RID OF LEBRAIN ASAP; FIRE HIM; BOOT HIM OUT; AND STOP THE CRY BABIES. I would give LeBrain so many technicals and game ejections that he would decide to retire! The old great players NEVER ENGAGED IN THE BS THAT LEBRAIN DOES DAILY WITH HIS CEASELESS SELF-PROMOTION!

no physicality in the NBA, allice needs a few fights not all by green lol. its more men in the wnba

What a great response from Joe M! Followed by crickets…😂 BTW: congrats on hitting 100k!!

"I wonder how many of those have been Christian coaches." ... SILENCE

This was the worst finals ever.

The NBA finals are what people watch when the Stanley Cup finals are in-between games.

Haven't watched an NBA game in years and I live in Denver. 🏀🎃

Joker ,Luka and Curry those are the only 3 players I'll watch...

Let’s just keep it honest here Clark is a generational star in the WNBA half of the world knows who she is. The NBA finals was a disaster from the get-go because the media was only talking about Clark and half of the world probably didn’t even know it was a championship game I didn’t know lol because that’s that bad. No one talks about the NBA now even the game last night the commentators from ESPN was talking about Clark. That’s how mad the NBA is right now because there not getting talked about like they used to even in the summer time. LeBron James always got talked about in the media now he’s silent. Clark is getting more talked about than LeBron James 😩😩😩😂😂

CC is dominating the headlines

LeBrain ruined the nba; I stopped watching the nba over a decade ago. I surely would NEVER LISTEN TO LEBRAIN ON ANY PODCAST! Just say NO TO LEBRAIN!!

I don't give a shit about the ratings. My team (since '63) won the championship last night.

EASY. Pay them BY GAME! That means if a player misses a game< he wont get paid for that! And if he pleads injury, the NBA should have their own medical team approving that absense. ALSO, fine & embarass FLOPPING! This has ruined basketball for e ton of us. Build on the NO CALLS during this playoffs. The physicality is what we've ben missing since real men played in the NBA. START WITH THAT

Fun fact. Along witht the lakers. The celrics also get a favorable whistle. The mavericks would have to have insurmountable leads. That white boy and kyrie were not going to be allowed to win. The nba is a dying brand. I like luka and kyrie but the games are unwatchable. Besides, the nba told me not to watch, im a bigot.

Congratulations 2 the Refs!!! They really earned it this season.

Reggie Miller can save this, he’s really likeable

Move the rim up to 11 ft and dump the three point shot. I’d check it out, otherwise it’s dead to me. Too many valueless games and woke crap at any given moment. Good high school hoops in my area and small college also, nba is redundant waste:

1998 NBA Finals Game 6: 37 million viewers (72 million Americans watched a portion of the game)-* 2024 NBA Finals Game 4: 9.5 million (with 50 millions more in population) *-Highest watched NBA game in history

The last two finals have been horrible Denver and Miami and Boston and Dallas are horrible markets .Nobody likes Boston and Dallas was not even supposed to to be there

I'm so glad the NBA has the low ratings.

Last night I didn't want the nba finals I watched the Boston dump vs the Dallas sharts

The season is too damn long! Shouldn't take two plus months to complete the playoffs.

Theres a lot of things they could do to fix the nba, but I doubt they'd do it. However, i do believe the nba will get better once lebron james retires. Once he's gone, i think the nba will start the healing process.

The real problem is people don’t watch tv put the games on you tube and watch

I don’t even know that they have NBA finals! Maybe the connection was gone! Back in the days 80’s 90’s, fans and players were connecting like glue!! I remembered MJ was saying, I will play every night because someone new fan will attend the game and I don’t want to disappointed them and that’s why I was keep playing every night! Today NBA lost their connection with the fans and too much branding themselves!! Too bad, NBA future is not very good compared to WNBA because Caitlin Clark!!

LeBron has completely ruined the NBA!!!

F nba F nfl F mlb. F nhl. But the playoffs have been great !🇺🇲

Congratulations KC, on 100K subscribers.

The Celtics won the series and it barely made a ripple.

Why would CBS want this trash???

I think Kathleen Kennedy and Bob Eiger takes the one and two spots for worse at their jobs then he comes silver at third

When lebron leaves the nba will recover

Pick a neck or work and stick with it.

The NBA finally achieved parity for the first time in over 40 years and it doesn’t matter because they’ve already lost their audience.

low rating because the games in between game 1 to 5 takes too long

LeBron put the nba on life support then Adam Silver came in and pulled the plug

The WNBA got better ratings than the NBA Finals.😆

Stephen a racist. My opinion.

When do the NBA Finals start?

Bring in the Serbians!

NBA and NHL should complete their seasons by late April/ early May. Even fans who cling and care about these leagues start losing interest due to long season. I stopped watching both leagues over 10 years ago.

The NBA needs Catlain Clark.

Stephen A talks about the color of people too much.

The NBA record low ratings has to be racism there can be no other answer but systemic racism.

Casual fans didn’t watch the finals because of reasons. Casual fans don’t watch the NBA period. The NHL is doing better than them.

Haven't watched NBA anything since MJ retired.

Your funny dude!!! Last year ratings were bad too 😮😮😮 Next year , it will be The Knicks vs Timberwolves !!! Bam! Ratings 😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉

ESPN ruined the NBA.

Remove the wokesters in the league, coaches, players, executives, owners, board of governors, the commissioner. Maybe, just maybe, thr NBA may return to decency.

The NBA should stop pushing LeBron, Durant and The Warriors all the time. They should be pushing The Best Player on Every Team. ESPN is the worst at pushing LeBron, Durant and The Warriors.

Bron is the biggest snake in sports history

2024 NBA = Rating Disaster, is a freaking MUSIC to my EARS, baby!! HELL to the YEAH lol.

I haven’t watched the NBA in over 5yrs. It’s a boring product. With lot of self righteous millionaires complaining about every call…it’s boring. I don’t care what other say but Lebron is not a draw cause I never liked him when he was considered “good”…again boring. I can’t name any players from any other team…Luka, Steph, LeBron? Anyone else ? NBA fault for not marketing its players

Klutch , Lejuice and the Lemedia clowning and lying for Lechoke as being the goat has absolutely turned off 30 million viewers!!!

I stopped watching the NBA when LeBron James claimed that black men were being hunted by the police. King James is certainly not quite so able. The BLM and DEI banners also contributed to my lack of interest. I HOPE that the NBA goes broke. Hope springs eternal!

Go Panthers!!!

Call palming, traveling, charging / get rid of the 3-pointer with the same 2 offensive players just standing in the corners waiting to shoot the 3-pointer on offense. AND quit scripting and rigging the games.........

Game 5. Was there a foul every 20 seconds? I turned it off because I mistakenly thought I was watching basketball.

I love basketball. But I have refused to watch the NBA since they politicized the league by embracing BLM and players refused to stand for the national anthem.

It’s simple why nobody is watching basketball the product sucks now.

I’d rather watch regular wnba games then these finals. Why did the league go full woke in 2020 ? U never go full reta….oh sorry “woke”

The NBA is for children and gamblers. I'll catch a highlight reel once in a while. But a whole game? I'd rather watch reruns of Law and Order. It's basically a repeat of a similar story with slightly different outcomes.

Yeah waiting a week for the finals to start took my interest away. Ridiculous. Ask I’m all for recognizing God for having won the title. Give God thanks for all things.

So much money...so little entertainment.Is China part of the problem?Is there really a problem?Cut back the number of teams and games and playoff games and salaries ...and commentators and maybe regular people can afford to GAF.

Didn't watch a single game of the finals. Didn't want to watch another fake star, Tatum, get anointed. Trash. Luka balled out but nobody else showed up. Another series that makes you believe it's rigged.
