Default O/T what happened to the NBA? Bad Marketing?

Posted By: Wil Jordan

What is going on in the NBA is a combination of things Stern and Bad Marketing certainly are two of the reasons attendance is falling. However, I think that fans are just tired the Hip Hop crap and the me me generation. It was like this before Bird, Magic, and MJ and I am affraid I don't see anyone like these guys coming into the NBA anytime soon. Thus you are going to continue to see a downward sprial of the NBA. This is why Stern is working so hard to market the NBA in China and other places overseas. The economy certainly plays a part but were you have good teams and team players you still see sell outs. Think about it would you pay top dollar to see these chest pounding, trash talking, tatooed, spoiled rich loud mouths jump up and down every 24 seconds?
