As a top basketball league, why did the ratings of NBA drop so much? The reason why the NBA is so popular is that it gathers the best 450 players in the world. Superstars, as the best among them, naturally shoulder the heavy responsibility of ensuring ratings. This season, James has helped the league to take on a huge responsibility in this regard, and he has made great contributions to the current ratings. However, James can't save the decline of the whole NBA after all, and the long-term absence of other superstars makes the ratings worse. Durant reimbursed in advance before the finals last season, which caused losses to the league. The stars who have been absent for a long time this season are Curry, Owen, Thompson, Leonard, George, Oladipo and so on.

Due to well-known reasons, the market of NBA in China has shrunk rapidly. Many fans who are not particularly enthusiastic about the NBA are far away from the NBA under the influence of this incident. Originally known as the home of China fans, "a team" waved goodbye to China fans directly. Unfortunately, there are two traffic stars in this team, and their departure has caused a certain loss of ratings. In addition, the scarcity and difficulty in obtaining the live video platform also caused the loss of fans. As time goes on, this effect becomes more and more obvious.

Warriors undoubtedly became the most successful team in the league, and a large number of fans were born under the rule of the dynasty. The Warriors lost superstar Durant in the offseason, and Curry and Thompson could not play in the expectation of fans. The record of the Warriors plummeted and never played beautiful basketball again. Those lost fans can't find a home, and finally choose to leave or stay silent for a while.

According to statistics, NBA experienced the craziest free market in history during the 20 19 offseason, and the number of team changers reached the highest in history. This has changed the inherent system and main players of many teams, and many fans can't cope with the sudden changes, so the choice of the home team has become erratic. Once the fans lose the foundation of the team, the decline in ratings is inevitable.

With the change of NBA president, the different choices of commercialization direction also have a subtle influence on fans. As we all know, NBA began to participate in the cooperation of game companies in recent years, which made fans doubt the authenticity of the game. Originally, it only focused on the spirit of the game and the game itself, but now it is mixed with various uncertainties because of commercialization. The results of many games have become confusing, and fanatical fans can easily perceive that the attraction of games to them is declining.

The NBA entered the 1920s, and its playing style changed greatly from the past. A large number of three-pointers and attacks under the basket have interpreted the magic ball theory to the extreme. But at the same time, although the rules encourage attack, they restrict physical confrontation, which makes this sport with physical confrontation as its essence less attractive. Many fans have been watching the game since the fierce physical confrontation in the 00' s and even the 90' s, and the inner gap makes it difficult for them to accept the current style of play. As time goes on, they gradually pay more attention to life itself.
