Love y'all being extremely candid in the insecurity part ! Very powerful and great to see from you guys! This was on of the best unplugged in a while. Preciate the show
9:00 realistically, i think the ratings are plummeting because of all the paying people have to do to watch. not everyone can afford paying for all these different sites. i cant even watch the rockets without paying for it, and i live in houston.
I mean it's that and a bunch of things. And also, this isn't the 90s and 2000s anymore. People have so much entertainment compared to those eras. People aren't circling their calender for a game unless it's the conference finals and finals. And I say people I mean casuals.
Ratings are down because the prices are too high and its too difficult to watch the game, but the money is more than ever so it wont change. NBA is pricing out regular fans
Last night y'alls Bulls shot 46 threes... and made 8. Their opponent went 14/51. That's 75 missed threes!! shit is awful to watch. I dont think the 3s is the ONLY reason ratings are down, but I believe it is ONE of the reasons.
I swear to god when they were talking about it I was like the nuggets will trade Jamal Murray for Tyler herro in a heartbeat and they’d be the favorites again
22:35 I think a class like that would be so dope. I remember taking a rock music history class and it was so much fun and I learned about so many classic rock groups and artists that I never listened to before
8:10 for someone really busy just socially and with school and work, i’ve pretty much switched to keeping up with the nba just watching all the youtube highlights, big games and the playoffs, and yall… and honestly like there are blind spots i have and when one of you goes in depth about like a random role players defense or something ill be like holy shit… but as far as like who i think is good or wha i think works like still has good reason for it and i can explain myself u know
Along the same lines of the drop the Mike question, why do people care that the ratings are down? Do they have some kind of financial stake in the NBA, because otherwise it doesn’t make sense to me why the average person would even care
The ratings also have to do with how the nba dostributes the games, the nfl using peacock a cheap service a lot of older ppl have was a great move, the nfl partnering with prime a service most ppl have and don’t have to get just for the games. The nba using tnt and ESPN and making it where it’s unavailable on league pass without watching weird angles so you just go to methstreams, also to many games for the common fan to care about on a day to day basis, when the average fan sees that their team isn’t playing a top team they know it’s either not that important or that they will be able to see them play that exact same team another time in the season or even another 3 times the local packages have also gon to shit price wise.
Ratings are down because basketball has been optimized and the optimized version is boring. There's no need to watch the games when you know the two teams are only going to try out-three each other. It's easier to check the boxscore later to see who won the variance race. Less optimized basketball is inferior but it's fun to watch. It's emotional, it's personal, it creates narratives and rivalries that you crave.
Your right but we need a new word to separate anthony bennett “busts” and greg oden/zion “busts”, some are bc they literally cant play, but some come from injury. And its not fair to put them in the same box yk?
It looks like spo and the analytics team came in and said hey look jimmy is washed if you wanna be 1a this year cut out the middys and shoot threes bc varience is going to be our best chance to beat good teams
Truly, TRULY who cares about ratings, amount of money coming in, etc.. How a team works the CBA matters, but otherwise, WHO CARES about salaries, profits, irrelevant to my enjoyment of the NBA.
U see and that’s why the ratings are down because Kenny what’s to see the freaking Houston rockets in Vegas over the warriors name value will hold weight like Steph curry respectfully nobody cares about the rockets😂 like jeez not everybody is on twitter u know
Just to speak on a few things: I think the internet generation is ruining rating for anything that's on TV. I legit just watch highlights of shit because it skips past a lot of the BS. Also, not everyone has cable or Hulu tv or espn+. I grew up in the 90s with NBA on NBC. I don't blame the league, even though shit do be boring sometimes. I blame the internet... but that might be the 37 in me. LOL. As far as sneakers, I think the lack of Ads/tv spots has ALOT to do with it. I have so many memories of MJ, AI, Shaq, Barkley, Lebron, Kobe commercials. The footlocker week of greatness spots. Dunkin on a Reindeer. Mars Blackmon. Kiss rapping for the Question. They don't promote shit no more. Even the Blake griffin Jordan commercials were amazing. Shits wild that I find out about sneaker releases from IG and not a ad. Imagine if they redid the banned 1 commercial for the 85s coming out with like Trae or letting spike do some ads again.
need an official “I was just thinking that” count tracker for Mike
whole time bro was never thinking that lmao
Or whatever
Right ? Cuase he wasn’t thinking bout nothing! i know there’s only smoke clouds between them ears 😭😂 still love him tho

my son just told me he wants to be like dmills when he grows up….i almost cried tears of joy
Love y'all being extremely candid in the insecurity part ! Very powerful and great to see from you guys! This was on of the best unplugged in a while. Preciate the show

"I just know my time is coming man" is crazy lmaooo
Kenny playing Jeff the land shark is the most Kenny thing ever
Winter Soldier betta

9:00 realistically, i think the ratings are plummeting because of all the paying people have to do to watch. not everyone can afford paying for all these different sites. i cant even watch the rockets without paying for it, and i live in houston.
Yeah fr I live in LA and can’t watch laker or clippers games despite having league pass bc I won’t pay for their two SEPERATE services
And cant forget about the trash ass refs
I mean it's that and a bunch of things. And also, this isn't the 90s and 2000s anymore. People have so much entertainment compared to those eras. People aren't circling their calender for a game unless it's the conference finals and finals. And I say people I mean casuals.
If we were all like the Suns ratings would skyrocket
She numbering on my board till I scream Yes!
?
Yes! She’s numbering my board
I live in Portland, there are 4 mattress stores in a 2 mile radius from the arena
2HR pod streak continues!!
Ratings are down because the prices are too high and its too difficult to watch the game, but the money is more than ever so it wont change. NBA is pricing out regular fans
Promethazine P needs a clips episode
Last night y'alls Bulls shot 46 threes... and made 8. Their opponent went 14/51. That's 75 missed threes!! shit is awful to watch. I dont think the 3s is the ONLY reason ratings are down, but I believe it is ONE of the reasons.
THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN
P always laughing when Mike does his drop the mic segment lol
Promethazine P couldnt hold it in

Goon session and than we watching this 🔥
??????
Same bro 😮💨😮💨😮💨
Sengoon highlight watch session right?
Me and wifey were goonin earlier
Ay yo😢
Tyler herro on the nuggets sounds super interesting when you talk about the best team he can be a lead guard on
I swear to god when they were talking about it I was like the nuggets will trade Jamal Murray for Tyler herro in a heartbeat and they’d be the favorites again
22:35 I think a class like that would be so dope. I remember taking a rock music history class and it was so much fun and I learned about so many classic rock groups and artists that I never listened to before
Next year Numbers on the Board will be there in Vegas for the NBA Cup
I think a big thing is there are no real head to head matchups where the two stars guard and go at each other all game or at least most of it
I was just thinking about that
45:00 Kenny had to sneak in that Chris Paul lol
Bro I died 😂😂
Perfect timing for my drive home from college
this pod is how I found out my goat the snack wrap is coming back
P gon mention that Jaden McDaniels jump every episode 🤣
NUMBERS ON THE BOARDDDDDDD YES!!!
8:10 for someone really busy just socially and with school and work, i’ve pretty much switched to keeping up with the nba just watching all the youtube highlights, big games and the playoffs, and yall… and honestly like there are blind spots i have and when one of you goes in depth about like a random role players defense or something ill be like holy shit… but as far as like who i think is good or wha i think works like still has good reason for it and i can explain myself u know
THE BOYS ARE BACK!!!!
TikTok highlights are definitely funny, my friend saw a Roy Hibbert edit the other day
The lows are amplified and the highs are undervalued
Ngl this episode is hilarious
Hero can start and provide spacing as well as lead your second unit mins on a title team.
right on time for lunch yessirrrr
NUMBERSSSSS ON THE BOARDDDD YESSSSSSSSSSS
Do yall not rewatch the show? Cause Austin falling asleep definitely did not get edited out
another pod with no mavs mentioned
This is one of the first they talk about the hawks, whilst the mavs almost always get mentioned
Go watch a Mavs pod then
As a Mavs fan there not much to say lol. We’ve played like one game in the past week lol
Perfect timing
numbers on the boaaaarrrrd YES
Y’all gotta read “SuperMega Saves The Troops”
NUMBERS ON THE BOOOOOARD
Let’s go, D Milly fan club stand up! 💪🏾
I’d definitely buy The Kenny kids book for my son he’s 6, it’s a good idea!
Ho guardato questo video e mi sono reso conto che i miei piani per la serata sono cambiati. Lo rivedrò ancora e ancora😚
Gotham city imposters a great pull
I can see the league definitely limiting the amount of threes each team can take
LETS GO LAKERS 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💜💛
This random but I mod the Anwar input during unplugged.
Along the same lines of the drop the Mike question, why do people care that the ratings are down? Do they have some kind of financial stake in the NBA, because otherwise it doesn’t make sense to me why the average person would even care
2:29:24 Pierre Wick 😂😂
They're just chucking threes. That's the winning formula, chucking threes.
Great episode just finished, cant believe they had Shai as the biggest disappointment. Still fire tho
numbers on the booooooooooooooaaaaarrrrddddd yyyyeeeeesssss!!!!!!!!
“We all know Mike is a millionaire” tf did I miss?
The whole sixers squad minus Jared
Just after I finished lunch 😔
NGL I only watch my teams so unless you play against the thunder, grizzlies, Aces, Dream, Sky, USC, notre dame I didn't see you until playoffs
1:21:15 LMFAOOOOOOO
Damn the upload was super blurry or is that just my crappy internet? 💀
Its cause it literally just uploaded. Its good now
Brother.. it’s been 3 minutes
just you bud
You are just early to the video
Crappy life probably
1:21:15 The internet is a weird place 😂
Please read bill Russel’s book, as a group

Solid take
This episode didn’t show up in my feed sum ain’t right
Hawks aint trading for a wing no chance. They keeping them three young wings and they happy hunter is happy being a 6th man. Why fuck with it.
🎉🎉🎉
Yesssss
Let’s go
Ben Simmons and Zion for sure. Those dudes need they ass out the league.
Lets gooo
And sneakers that don't compliment your outfit or uniform is nothing, but bad taste, regardless of popularity/cost. Mismatching is shamelessly inane.
44:57 Chris Paul?!?!?
Yall need don from td3 for this title. Hes a next level hater who’d enjoy this
Yesssirrrr
Maaaan P got a weak throat. He gotta consult with Derek
for being so hyped when he was drafted as a "generational talent", I think its safe to say that zion williamon is a bust
Your right but we need a new word to separate anthony bennett “busts” and greg oden/zion “busts”, some are bc they literally cant play, but some come from injury. And its not fair to put them in the same box yk?
Had nothin to watch thanks for droppin

The ratings convo was BS because every other sport is booming
NUMBERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
U see and that’s why the ratings are down because Kenny what’s to see the freaking Houston rockets in Vegas over the warriors name value will hold weight like Steph curry respectfully nobody cares about the rockets😂 like jeez not everybody is on twitter u know
Ben Simmons is definitely starting!
