The article says that League Pass numbers are up but that the NBA won't give specifics, that's kind of a shame because that's an interesting part of this equation.
The NBA has a parity problem.
And yet that win streak was more exciting than anything I've seen in hockey in years.This, but when I bring this up on reddit people claim excuses about how teams like New Orleans or the East making the playoffs dispel that notion. Well, the 8th seeds making the playoffs in the east aren't that good. The league has such a parity problem that Golden State ripped off 24 straight games. That's unheard of in hockey, especially in modern times.
Biggest problem is marketing. The late 80's into the 90's the league was at it's peak marketing wise and they really played on the different characters in the league. Each team had a marketable star. Fans could identify with their players because they weren't worried about them leaving after a few years.So there are stars other than Steph Curry and LeBron James?
- Star problem
- Parity problem
- Officiating problem
To broaden its appeal, the NBA has launched a major push on social media, where the league lets fans post short amateur clips of game highlights on Twitter, Vine and Snapchat—something other leagues have prohibited. The NBA, which views it as a marketing tool, said last week that it became the first sports league to surpass 1 billion loops on Vine, a video service owned by Twitter.
