[Rankin] ... Kevin Durant continuing to address #NBA viewership being down. "I take this serious. I'm locked in as to why people don't want to watch us play."

All of you are answering as basketball fans. The real reason is the games don’t matter. There are no stakes compared to the NFL where every game matters for playoffs and division standings.

Bingo.

Same exact problem baseball has. Too. Many. Games.

The games last forever, have no meaning, stars sit out regularly because even they dgaf about these games.

It’s hard to sit in and give a shit about the first quarter of an NBA regular season game. I just feel an overwhelming sense of meaninglessness when watching lol. It’s like watching a dude in the MLB go up to bat in a 0-0 game in the 2nd inning. Oh he got a single! Literally who cares.
