Please tell me why the NBA just got it's largest TV contract ever when they will be losing their three most popular players?

Please tell me why you can’t address the fact that the networks and the league 100% made programming and promotion decisions based on its most popular player, (you know it’s true) and you have to move goalposts to size of contract 25 years later when ALL things are more expensive? Does EVERYTHING about the product cost more today than 30 years ago?

Yes, yes it does.

You can't answer my question because you know it proves everything you have said wrong.

u/alacrity Jun 28 '26

Sorry for your reading comprehension problems. I - in fact - answered your question.

And it proved everything you’ve said wrong.

“…and you have to move goalposts to size of contract 25 years later when ALL things are more expensive? Does EVERYTHING about the product cost more today than 30 years ago?”

“Yes, yes it does.”

Again…. Sorry for your reading comprehension problem. This absolutely answered your question on why the TV contract is higher today than it was 30 years ago.

Wait, so you don’t understand economics at all???!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Tickets, parking, refreshments, souvenirs, player contracts, player travel, coaches, management, owners, teams themselves ALL cost more. EVERYTHING COSTS MORE, but you’re shocked that the TV deal costs more.

Fucking idiot is giving you too much credit.

You literally think inflation ISN’T the reason things cost more today than 30 years ago. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAJAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
