OT: NBA All Star Game

[Good-Knight]

JK. I didn't watch it. You didn't watch it. Ratings down 25% from last years unwatched product.
McClung is not even in the NBA. Might as well have the frisbee dogs.
NBA looking at a future where it's rating fall another 50%. At that point weaker franchises that are leveraged beyond their asset value will start to teeter. Adam Silver is hoping the 2032 asteroid solves his problems.

They just signed a 11y/$76B media contract.
Previous deal was 9y/$24B

I think they'll do fine if you didn't watch the ASG.

It's in the fine print. Of course Silver was going to get something that looked good in the headlines. These sports media contracts are always overstated and subject to deductions when ratings tank. Some of that $ is from streaming which is a deal with the devil. They get more money but fewer people see the game, hardcore working class fans get turned off, turned away. Playoff games on streaming will kill interest altogether.
