This is so ironic lol because exactly how i feel the rest of the season, i assume I'm not alone.

NBA makes their product so inaccessible to their fans.

I can watch the NFL season for free with a $20 digital antenna. CBS, NBC, Fox and MNF broadcast on ABC are all free.

NBA is on ESPN or TNT both of which require cable. Then you have teams with local TV deals that require cable or some overpriced poor quality app.

NFL is WAY easier to watch games... For free.

I don't mind Football on Christmas, but it needs to make sense. You can't do it on Tuesday and Wednesday. Any other day of the week Christmas falls, fine, but if it's those 2 days, just skip it, NFL. Anyway, I didn't watch any of it because I have young kids, lol.

I think the NFL pushed its season out too far tbh.

Data provided by Videocites, a social media tracking and analytics company, shows a much smaller gap between the NFL and NBA compared to TV and streaming viewership. The data shows that from Dec. 25 to Dec. 27, the NFL drew 921 million video views, about 14% more than the 811 million views the NBA delivered. The NFL was able to do this despite streaming two games during about a seven-hour run time compared to the NBA, which had its first game tip-off at noon ET with the final game ending around 1 a.m. ET.

However, a deeper look into the Videocites numbers shows slightly more than half of the video views generated by the NFL were based on the 12-minute halftime performance of Beyoncé (464 million). The games themselves generated 457 million video views. The NBA’s run time also allowed for significantly more uploads than the NFL (12,654 vs. 6,112, including the NFL halftime show).

So the NBA can't get people to actually watch a full game and even in the area they're supposedly ahead in (social media) still can't overcome the NFL despite having a bigger stretch of games because of............ Beyonce
