NBA Player Scolds Fans for Enjoying NBA
“Its such a bad product.”
After a weekend of NBA fanfare at NBA All-Star Weekend, one player is letting the fans know how he feels:
“You’re all a bunch of losers.”
Golden State Warriors star, Draymond Green, was a part of the weekend’s broadcast and called out NBA fans for liking a “boring product,” saying:
"Bunch of losers, man. Who is even watching this?
The NBA had a resurgence from like 2015-2019, and then again in 2022, but outside of that, it’s just been a bunch of guys running fast and shooting 3’s. I think its very boring when I’m not doing it.”
NBA Hall of Famer and NBA on TNT broadcaster, Charles Barkley, agreed with Green, stating:
“I wouldn’t be caught dead watching the NBA over college sports.”
The statements come after a long, public discussion about NBA ratings and what might be the cause of their decline.
NBA journalist, Stephen A. Smith, had some ideas about why ratings are so low.
Atop his list, he went so far as to suggest NBA players should have extramarital affairs with wives of other NBA players, so that players hate one another again “like they did in the 80’s and 90’s.”
At the end of the day, this is NBA Commissioner Adam Silver’s problem and he knows it.
Between All-Star festivities, Silver took ownership for ratings being down before sharply pivoting to clowning fans for still watching:
“If you saw the trade deadline, it’s evident I’m doing everything I can to make this product the best it can be.
However, if you’re watching this shit now, you’re a grade-A buster.”
