No, you’re wrong in looking at revenue as profit. 14 NBA teams lost money last year, and many of the ones that made money just got by. Nobody I know watches the NBA anymore, ratings have been downtrending for many years, much less buys tickets to go see a game. Guaranteeing player contracts is crazy, if you play in the NFL is you don’t produce you’re gone. Maybe someone could politely ask Lebron to start playing defense. LolYou’re just plain wrong on league revenue.
Total NBA league revenue 2023 | Statista
How much does the NBA make a year? In 2023, NBA teams generated a total revenue exceeding 10.5 billion U.S. dollars.
A lot of these things tend to be posturing by the league ahead of labor negotiations, but accepting the argument for sake of discussion, the current trajectory of sports salaries may not be sustainable, but the product has been around for a long time and at some level the demand will be there for the foreseeable future. Maybe instead of a journeyman raking in 20 million over the course of a career, he will have to get by on 10. To think you go from making the league to “better get that degree” is nonsense for the small subset of college players that truly have what it takes.Uh, yes and no. The general point I was making is college stars can’t depend on the NBA in coming years, they better get their degrees while they’re for free to fall back on, no one cares about the NBA anymore, it’s a dying league. Empty arenas, many of the franchises on life support, the big money for NBA players can’t go on indefinitely. The major networks have largely abandoned the NBA as the ratings are abysmal, if it wasn’t for ESPN propping the league up it would be in real trouble, and team owners are running out of cash. I myself have not watched an NBA regular season game or bought tickets in ten years. Only time I see the NBA now is when Sports Center shows highlights ad nauseam. I see the NBA going the way of arena football in the next 20 years.
Future losses causing deep concerns among NBA team owners
A deepening gulf between the have and have-not teams are concerning some around the NBA and could affect the league's short-term future.www.google.com

If things get really bad (performance and injuries), then we would have to consider burning CF Jr's redshirt. I don't think (and don't want) that to happen. I think this week's challenges were against three really good defensive/athletic teams and it will help us down the road. I think most Big East teams will be hard pressed to defend our guards and wings the way they were this week.
Exactly. VCU defended like crazy. It was amazing on a lot of those possessions.
Yeah - they really did. My god - if they defend that way in their league they are going to be in the big dance no problem.
Lololol same thought
Yet, the NBA TV ratings this year show more people watch the NBA than College basketball. Average regular season game NBA 1.51 to Average College game 1.14
This is just a sample of his highlights - I've seen many excellent assists/dishes/alley oops in other samples. But, that said his skillset seems to be more as a 2 than a 1 because he can certainly shoot well and finish at the rim with two hands, etc. Definitely a modern combo guard.No assists, never looks to pass. He’s our next great PG? SMH
