Xiao Hua has brought a lot of revenue to the league, but has he changed the original intention of the NBA?

Twenty years ago, everyone was watching the game for Jordan and Magic. 20 years later, everyone is watching Kobe and O'Neal. Everyone has been watching James dominate the league in the past few years, but what did you watch after the league started this year? Yes, that’s right! It just depends on how you "hold together". Now the NBA has lost its competitiveness. Winning games is not directly proportional to the strength of the stars, but more to whether the boss is willing to spend money. It was previously unthinkable that a team would have more than three All-Stars. Now more than 3 All-Stars are standard, 4 are the deluxe version, and 5 are PLUS. Clearly, everyone is striving for the highest goal! The league suffered changes beyond recognition. Kobe Jordan angered Xiaohua, who only cared about making money regardless of his future. After Xiaohua took over Stern, he pushed the NBA into another model. Obviously, he completely exposed his attributes as a businessman.

Not only did he not stop grouping together, he also supported everyone in grouping together. Although the luxury goods tax has been reduced again, it has already "reddened the eyes." The bosses can't control that much. As long as the superstar wants to come, money is not an issue. If the strength is not enough, the money can come together. As long as the players are willing, they can form an NBA version of their dream team. As for money, the more injuries an owner gets, the happier the league will be. The luxury tax alone is an astronomical figure, and it also means that huge wealth is beckoning to them. Xiaohua's management has long been separated from the NBA itself, and making money has become the direction of development. As for the future of the league, he hasn't given it much thought. After all, he can't be the president of the NBA for the rest of his life! Although the epidemic in the United States is far from over, the recovery of the NBA is already on the agenda. Not surprisingly, the NBA will resume play at Disneyland in Orlando.

American media revealed that in a conference call between Xiaohua and the owners of 30 teams, Xiaohua proposed not to practice together until all teams arrived at Disneyland. This proposal immediately aroused opposition from 30 team owners. Xiaohua came up with a clever plan in the semi-finals, and 30 teams collectively opposed it. He really doesn’t understand sports. Xiaohua’s original intention of objecting to team training was to prevent players from continuing to be infected, thereby putting the NBA semifinals at risk. It can be said that all Xiaohua thinks about now is money. If the NBA's resumption is delayed, he can only lose money again and again. NBA shareholders probably want to eat him alive. But if the team owner thinks about it, more problems will naturally arise in the team's competitive state.

After all, when a team plays a game, the competitive state directly affects the result, and the result affects more things. It’s hilarious to just let players play after being quarantined for a few months. Since Xiao Hua took over as NBA president, the NBA has become less and less entertaining. It’s not just Xiao Hua who brings the stars together, leaving the league to rely on years of bravery to compete for hegemony, and making the finals the only suspense in a year. Furthermore, the rules of the NBA are becoming more and more boring, the referee standards are too confusing and difficult to understand, and the confrontational nature is so poor that every touch leads to a foul. The once fiercely competitive NBA is gone forever.
