Welcome back to the show today. We’re talking about what makes a good NBA Finals and whether or not this particular Finals is a good one. This discussion delves into what makes the NBA interesting, what causes people to lose or gain interest in the league, and what fuels the industry of professional sports. We all love watching our favorite athletes and their games, but there's an argument to be made that most people get just as much enjoyment from the game as they do from hearing commentary later that night or the next morning on shows like First Take.
Think about how much time you spend listening to NBA podcasts or watching NBA UA-cam videos versus how much time you spend watching basketball itself. Even during the season, when there are games every night, many of us still end up listening to more podcasts than we do watching games. Why? Because as human beings, we crave stories, and the media helps provide context to these stories that unfold on the court. Even though this context can sometimes feel more like fan fiction, it connects us emotionally with other human beings.
Sure, you’ve never been eliminated in the first round of the playoffs in a historic upset, but you’ve likely felt defeated before. You’ve likely confronted the hard reality of being outworked by someone you thought was inferior. This is how we connect to certain players and why we have aversions to others. The best Finals feature players who fans are most connected to, whether deeply connected like many are with Markelle Fultz-a former number one draft pick who inexplicably lost his shot in his rookie year and has spent the last five years trying to find his place in the Orlando Magic's starting lineup-or broadly connected like LeBron James, whose story is well-known even if not everyone is deeply concerned with his life and career.
If we look at the last 20 years of NBA Finals TV ratings, we see that the highest viewership occurred during the Golden State-Cleveland years, featuring LeBron versus Steph Curry. The 2015 Finals had nearly double the viewership of the Finals in the last five years, and Game 7 in 2016 had more viewers than any Finals game since the 1998 Finals between the Jazz and the Bulls-the "Last Dance" year. So, what made those LeBron-Steph years so special?
Firstly, Golden State was just beginning to acquire bandwagon fans, and Cleveland had the biggest star in the NBA. However, this alone doesn’t explain why these series received more attention than any of LeBron’s Finals in Miami. A key reason was Steph Curry. Coming off his first MVP season in 2015, sports fans fell in love with Steph. Whether it was his family-man image, his faith, his boyish appearance, or his revolutionary three-point shooting, Steph became highly marketable. He was everywhere, becoming more well-liked than even Kevin Durant, the next biggest name in the NBA after LeBron.
This year’s Finals is a building year for the league. Viewership is slightly down from last year, despite the Celtics being one of the most supported franchises and Dallas being one of the five largest markets. Only real NBA fans are invested in these Finals. It takes winning a Finals for a player to transcend basketball. If Jokic were playing for a back-to-back championship, it would garner more attention. Likewise, having LeBron, Curry, or Durant in the Finals would draw fair-weather fans. However, this year will raise the profile of Luka Doncic and players like Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, who will be in the league for the next decade.
Let’s talk about some of the narratives in this Finals. Tatum and Brown have been to the Eastern Conference Finals five times and the Finals twice but have never sealed the deal. This is similar to Luka, who has been close but never this close. More interesting narratives include Kyrie Irving against his old team, Jrue Holiday possibly winning a championship after being traded from the Bucks, and the potential dynamic shift if Brown wins Finals MVP over Tatum. This could change the team’s dynamic, where Tatum is usually the 1a and Brown the 1b.
For me, the best Finals feature at least one star player nearing the end of his career, playing with intensity and cherishing the experience, knowing it might be their last chance. This year, Al Horford, a future Hall of Famer, embodies this as he relishes his possible last Finals appearance. This adds a compelling plotline to this year’s Finals, showcasing the diverse narratives that make the NBA Finals captivating.
All my homies fw whatslaps
As your homie, I approve this statement
Second the approval.
The approval has been seconded and will now move to a vote. All in favor of passing "all my homies fw whatslaps", say Aye.
Aye @@wmr1092
@@wmr1092 Aye! The motion passes!
I think one reason why everyone loves Steph is that it's much easier to see yourself in him. You don't need to be a 7 footer or havae a 40 inch vertical to shoot the ball well. Steph is far more
'normal' in that regard
yep that's why he was popular with kids
He also moved with the ball and doesn’t just shoot 3 also his team as a whole had motion. This whole series has been screen and roll for both teams no plays or anything
@@whatslapsprobably why he’s the most watched nba player
Narratives and storylines can make the games more interesting than they otherwise would be, and can drastically shift a team or player's reputation and legacy one way or the other
2016 Cavs beating the 73-9 Warriors is the most obvious, perfect example
yeah, that was my all time favorite finals
Which makes this hilarious because almost all of the games were blowouts except for Game 7.
can’t wait to watch, your videos are good for experienced basketball watchers and newbs. my girlfriend loves it when i send her your videos because it helps her become a huge basket geek like me😊
that's awesome. that was my goal of the channel. Get people interested in something so they can connect with other people.
this years finals were boring af but that’s cause basically all of the games were complete blowouts, and when you combine that with espn’s genuinely atrocious presentation plus the really weird scheduling (3 days between games?) it just doesn’t feel as exciting. I really don’t think that we need dynasties to make the finals entertaining. 2021 was entertaining as hell and neither of those teams have even reached the conference finals afterwards it’s the presentation that’s really killing the finals imo
I think it was the teams. Boston could be a marketable team next year, but the Mavs weren't ready for that. Props to them making the finals, but it was over before it started.
My favorite storyline for this series is how people like Chandler Parsons on TV were saying that Luka is pissed with Tingus pingus and that the entirety of Dallas is too. Turns out that a half fit Tingus Pingus was the one who played like he had a chip on his shoulder. That one quarter in game 1 set the tone for the finals imo
I forgot about that Luka Tingus tension. good call
Your videos are incredible and I can’t get enough of them. The bright color changes, your silhouette bouncing all over the place, and your great basketball commentary will keep me coming for a long long time!
Glad you dig the style! Thanks for the sub, man!
Keep up the good content! Your videos are hella entertaining
Thanks man! glad you like the videos
7 game series makes it a lot less approachable for casual fans. Almost everyone watches at least one game of football a year but it's a lot harder to pick which one game of basketball you're gonna watch.
it definitely does. games that aren't game 1 or an elimination game get no love.
The "I don't want a dynasty" is exactly why people want to watch. If the Celtics win the chip for the next few years people become way more interested in the team that MIGHT dethrone the reigning champ you know what I mean?
I know exactly what you mean.
Or we don’t tune in and kill the ratings so the league says ight let’s stop favoring them we losing money
Yeah, that passion is what kept the NBA interesting. We were so invested in seeing the Warriors lose, the Heat before them, the Lakers before them, etc.
I am okay with or without a dynasty. And, I'm also okay with not having a face of the NBA. Sometimes we over dramatize the story and we push away the sports side of what makes it so good sometimes.
Part of me thinks literally no one in the NBA expected the finals to play out this way. Pre-season odds were on this being another season of Joker and the nuggets making it to the finals and facing Boston or Milwaukee, maybe the Warriors and the Sixers, maybe LA, but literally no one was expecting Dallas vs Boston.
Dallas was completely unexpected. even from the start of the playoffs they were never favored in their matchup.
I think this year is especially boring because we have all seen a celtics ring coming, and they absolutely dog walked the rest of the east on they way. It's not like anyone unhappy with the results, just not as competitive of a matchup as us casual fans hope for.
I felt the same about last year. The heat weren't a formidable opponent.
@@whatslaps Yes, but before game one i think you could make a good case for thinking it was going Dallas, with Tingus injury and them coming out of an stacked west, as opposed to Miami-Denver which i think it was pretty decided even before game one
I love this guy, I don't know why but he's my favorite basketball channel, shout out from Portugal.
not sure why my comment didn't save, but thanks a lot man. Glad you're enjoying the NBA over there!
elite quality on a weekly basis. love it man keep grinding
glad you like it, player. see you next monday
Watching these videos you would think he would have millions of subs. Underrated UA-camr.
that's nice of you to say, man!
Yupz, me too. I love watching commentaries after the game
same. ready to watch no dunks tomorrow.
I agree with the point abt KD to the warriors making the finals less entertaining. Before he was there it felt like things could go eithe way btwn Cleveland and GS . Once Durant got there most of the suspense was gone. That's part of why I think this current finals isn't getting much attention. To the casual viewer, Boston is far and away so much better than everyone else it's a foregone conclusion they'd win. If it had been the nuggets coming out of the west at least more casual fans would be inclined to see if they could repeat
next year if Boston makes the finals people will show out. (if they win this year of course)
I was randomly recommended your channel from youtube a few days ago and have since binged a lot of your content. I really like your original topics, information, history, examples, and smart, honest, funny commentary on the subjects. I follow a lot of NBA tubers and you are just as good as any of them. I hope you get a million subs. Do you have a video on how scouting works domestically and internationally? I find it fascinating how the joker was scouted in some far off land by a Jazz scout who moved to the nuggets and convinced them to draft him.
thanks man! I actually don't. I've wanted to for a while, but can't find enough good info or testimonials.
Almost at every point this series had everything going wrong building up momentum. Between the 3-0 knockout punch, the week in between conference finals and finals, the broadcast turning down how loud the fans really were. here's hoping next year's finals are better.
agreed. Load Mangement is a double edged sword. Hopefully next year we get Denver Boston
@whatslaps I'd even settle for the east to be healthy haha. So many teams just hampered by injuries and it felt like we could've seen some series be better than what they were. Or even better match-ups if it had shaken out that way. At least the Olympics will provide some great games.
I think people also like steph because he is a little guy (still 6 foot but compared to NBA players little) playing against big players. Little kids see that and can relate to him.
I totally agree.
My favorite story line of this Finals is Derrick White, as a Spurs fan I want him to get a ring.
yeah, he seems like a solid guy.
@@whatslaps Now he got one.
love the videos, feel like they are entertaining but not too hot-takey. on the technical side of things, i noticed there's shadow in the corners your shot from your green screen lighting. While getting additional lighting could be cost prohibitive, you can also create a mask around yourself in post and cut out the shadowy parts of the shot so only the evenly-lit parts of the green screen are getting keyed out. as long as you don't move around in the shot a ton, it's a fairly effective workaround.
can't wait to see what you have in store this offseason!
I know. I upgraded my green screen but the corners are still shadowed. If I crop it, sometimes my hands are visible and it looks weird. I'll play around with my lights a bit for the next video.
Every time I see you post a video my day gets better
you make my day better
I think Steph is popular because he’s somebody more people can relate to. Someone like Giannis is fun to watch but he’s 611 at super athletic whereas Steph seems like your more average guy who just got really good at shooting.
exactly. that's why I like Iverson as a kid.
i agree with you 100%, there are real storylines in these finals, like the celtics finally getting their ring or luka realizing his team’s morale (and defence) is being affected by his constant complaining to the refs. luka is a generational talent but he’s young so of course he has flaws.
genuinely very excited for the game tonight. i think luka will be a whole different beast now that he’s 100% focused on both ends of the floor. i got so excited when he was locking up tatum in game 4!!! eventually a team’s gonna comeback from 3-0, so why not enjoy the possibility? i dont understand people who call this finals boring there’s so much going on man. great video as always!
I know. I think Luka (and the mavs) could make history. I'm pumped.
@@whatslaps well. it was entertaining but not in the way i expected
If this goes to 7 games no matter who win it’ll be remembered the last good finals was 21 Giannis going crazy for 4 games straight and Chris Paul was finally in the finals imo
that was a good year. I'm fond of 2019
Love your fast pace info packed NBA facts / news!

Looking forward to following your channel 🥰
thanks! see you next monday!
this was a great video not even just as a basketball video it makes me think great youyube video whatslaps look forward to more thanks for making these videos gauranteed great watch
thanks man! see you next MOnday!
Love the fultz call back. Great video as usual
Real hoop heads love Fultz
As a mavs fan since birth, I’m dying inside rn. 😭
it ain't over.
I think my favorite storyline (?) is the luka harden comparison. Seems like Lukas much better in the playoffs though
Luka has over performed his whole career. I wouldn't put him in the same camp as Harden.
God I love this channel keep up the good work
This channel loves you back.
bro ive been watching your videos so much your deadass so underrated
thanks man. rating is going up
Unrelated to the video but its kinda interesting to me how entertaining it is seeing 2 defensive minded teams duking it out being entertaining to me. I've only started recently actually paying attention to the NBA but as a casual I never thought I'd be so entertained watching defensive minded teams like the Celtics, Cavs, Wolves and Mavs.
The Wolves d destroyed the nuggets. fun to watch
Love your channel and love your video structure and the way you express certain topics. I coach uni ball in the UK and these are the type of conversations I love Having with my players. Interesting to see someone put them into video concepts. Keep going bro💪🏾 subbed
That's so cool! it's all about connecting with other people over a common interest. thanks for the sub man!
I started watching basketball because of Steph. His highlights were insane with his ridiculous shooting
that's how Iverson was for me.
There’s too many plot lines on Celtics but the media decided to focus on the negatives (Tatum is not Him, Jaylen Brown is better than Tatum), secondly the media didn’t focus on the Celtics success during the regular season. They never got pushed that hard which is absolutely ridiculous. Third, a lot of people wanted to see the Celtics fail but didn’t.
all true. I think people just hate the Celtics, because all the guys on that team are gems.
Whatslaps, would you please make a video on the different types of fouls and techs in the NBA (charging foul, shooting foul, blocking foul, etc).
I could do that. I kind of covered it a bit in my rules video from a few months ago though. Maybe a whole video on fouls would be cool though.
“It takes winning a finals for an NBA player to ascend into pop culture.” Except for Jeremy Lin for some reason.
everyone loves an underdog.
the playoffs and finals were fun. The broadcasters they chose slowed games to a crawl. I just turned the volume down and enjoyed good basketball.
Could have used some Kevin Harland
2016, 2019, 2021, and 2022 were my favorite in recent memory.
15 and 16 were epic
@@whatslaps Crazy that was almost a decade ago now.
another blessed monday my basketball king
thanks for showing out
Jaylen brown is definitely getting the finals mvp. I'm rooting for the mavs, but there's very little chance we get a game 7 from this series.
I'm gonna go make a corn dog now
go mavs and go brown if that's possible.
@@whatslaps he truly deserves it. Tatum has been kind of quiet.
Yeah I guess it's not surprising that those Steph/Bron finals were so highly viewed, all those elements that you pointed out makes it pretty east for casual fans to want to get more into what is going on to determine the best in the league. That dynasty aspect is interesting too, gives more of a continuation of a story of what is going on (again to the casual fan) rather than just another couple teams showing up that may not be too well known. Brown getting finals MVP could add a wrinkle into the "who is better/what player plays what role" on the team, (maybe Jason Kidd was right? 😳). The effect KD joining Warriors definitely changed the perspective many people had of that team (for the worse, like you said). End of career (well liked) guys (without a chip especially) certainly adds something important/special in the mix, makes you want to root for them extra more (yay Al!). Thanks again bro, always keepin it gangsta.
Yeah, man! I was glad to see your Celtics take it home. I thought the Mavs winning was more interesting of a story, but I was so happy for the Celtics. White gave it everything. Horford finally got one at 38. Tatum can relax. Jrue can give the bucks the finger. Also Joe Mazulla seems like an awesome guy, couldn't think of a better dude to accomplish the big achievement. I'm always gangsta, baby.
Steph revived my interest for the NBA in general, when I watched a video, back in 2014, about "How the splash brothers create space and break opponents defenses".
I was always rooting for the underdog (because I am an Sonics/OKC fan and as a PG myself I liked Steve Nash at Suns, so no cigar here), but the GS dynasty (not the KD's one) and Celtics now. I always find fascinating rooting for teams with former Sonics players in, like Orlando magic, Houston Rockets and now LAC or as I say OG OKC, and the narrative and high stakes made that interesting to watch. Yes there were teams like Miami heat, Lakers and Celtics with Allen, Lewis and Payton on the roster but I never like them.
In the end yes narrative and harsh fans can make a final interesting even tho your favorite team isn't a contender. On the other hand, things like game 4 when Adam Silver tried to extend these series with Foster or games like infamous Kings vs Lakers in 2002, makes NBA to look like WWE, boring and scripted.
PS: And there is the fact that the narrative East vs West doesn't hold well, being an international product now.
when do you think the Sonics are coming back? (or a new version of the Sonics technically)
@@whatslaps I wish I knew, but old sonics lineage is bound to OKC anyway, don't know if a new version will feel the same. Maybe when the NBA adds 2 to 4 teams, as they plan to do.
MJ and Steph are the funnest to watch IMO. I did like watching the Nuggets I liked the way played all phases, inside, outside and middle. Good vid! 👍
good choices. I like watching ant when he's getting hot
I was reading to dismiss you but what a great point 👉
We're in the new era of the league. Building from scratch.
Not every NBA finals needs to be a climactic battle with dramatic storytelling. Sometimes it just so happens that one team is better than the other and you just got to take it to the chin. I think people watch sports and would rather watch for the story rather than sitting down and watching for the sport.
Exactly. I had a tough time watching most olympic competition because I didn't know anyone's story.
I mess heavy with this channel
I see you.
I cant lie bro....your vids are well thought out, really well paced as well. Also like that you actually show your face in the videos unlike most other basketball channels. Watched a few of your vids and hit the sub today
sweet! thanks for the sub, man!
US sports media is great at creating narratives.
Sports isn't the actual focus for the masses, but rather sports related soap opera.
exactly.
Phenomenal video man. You always have the best insights
Thanks a lot man. Glad you're diggin the vids
They could of have "aura" but they have to put youtube tv by every logo + this scoreboard they use for ESPN is awful, they should be using gold logos.
corporate sponsors have to make things cheaper for us I assume or what's the point?
@@whatslaps understandable, however it would be nice seeing the finals logo and trophy on the court with the UA-cam logo, makes it feel like a parody
NBA is boring no defense and all they do is shoot threes. I worked OT at my job instead of watching finals
facts
Video idea: Is the NBA Hall of Fame to easy to get into compared to the NFL and MLB etc.
someone else rec'd this too
The only thing I find boring about this finals is the commentating. It feels different without Mark Jackson and JVG. Jj Redick sounds like a know it all lol
I like jj
Steph is the more family friendly version of Allen Iverson. A short dude who beats giants with his skill. It makes him more relatable and interesting to see how he's going to out play his opponent
exactly, but he doesn't have edge iverson had
@@whatslaps that's why I called him the family friendly version of Iverson. The only controversy I've ever heard Steph in was him denying low income housing in his neighborhood lol
The Celtics walked to a ring. It was a snoozefest in that regard. I'm looking at the Fever schedule...
And while I understand the logic behind someone saying a franchise winning a lot might interest me, I suspect it wouldn't. (I could be an exception, of course) I barely cared the first time they ez-moded it to glory. I can't be bothered for a second. I'll tune out next season even more. =\ Ah well. I skipped about 15-20 years of NBA previously. Not impossible to go cold turkey again, especially with these guys load managing while earning 10s of millions per year. Ugh.
Interesting video though. I do agree that people need stories! I was rooting for the Mavs in part because I thought their underdog story was more compelling.
I say this all the time, but the "everybody gets a turn" years for leagues kill interest and the leagues have to be losing a lot of money. People want a player to dominate and be in the finals every year. Whether they know it or not.
@@whatslapsMight be true for most people. Perhaps a part of why the 70s weren't as big as the 80s - in the 80s, you had big names, big rivalries, and a few teams dominating.
Personally, if I had to watch one team run it back again, it would have been the Nuggets, not the Celtics. :'( Alas.
A small-market team led by a foreign man wild for horses versus a super franchise now with a "pretty good team that does pretty good and win da thing." Curse the East!
I wish it would've been more competitive...
agreed. I didn't even watch game 4 because I thought it was going to be a celtics blowout. couldn't watch the sweep
It’s not boring, we just don’t recognize the new stars 😭🙏🏾
that's what I'm sayin
NBA these days is so boring
yeah, I was pretty checked out with these finals. The west was really disappointing. I might cry about it honestly.
Whatslaps truly one of the best basketball UA-camrs out there.

Excellent points

I love your videos

mavs in 7 (we are so cooked)
A girl can dream
Also the NBA has "boring" players in the finals right now. The Celtics don't have the peroslnlity + they're polarizing due to choking, being the Celtics, unfun to watch, and Tatum being Tatum. The Mavs have Luka which is an on-court personality due to his play, also Kyrie is great to have in the finals due to him being a fan favorite, but however there is no story. The only Finals with a legit "story" since 2019 has been the Lakers 2020 run do the Kobe (it's a stretch ik) or the Curry FMVP run in 2022.
I totally agree. The stars in the finals have plenty of time to get it done in their careers.
Can you do a video on nba owners
I did one awhile back but it might be time for a refresh
Another banger from the.. Man?
yes, I am... Man.
100k subscribers til 2025 share this channel with the homies that know ball this guy deserves it
I'll wax my head at 100k
Does the Celtics winning put Jrue Holiday in the HOF?
If it was up to me, he already would have been.
So, its like what happened with F1 having Drive to Survive on Netflix
I hate that I know that max verstappen has a theme song...
what happened with that show?
I think from a game-to-game context, these finals have been average. Game 4 was definitively the most boring if this was the only finals game you watched up to this point because it was an insane blow out that only Mavs fans would be happy with. Within the context of all 4 games though, it was interesting because it was either A: unexpected if you're a casual fan or B: "A classic Celtics chokejob" if you're an invested fan. Now more people are interested to see whether the Mavs can do it again tonight or if Boston can finally give people a reason to believe in them. The fact that people still think Boston could legitimately still choke a 3-0 lead says it all about how much people are actually invested in these finals despite claims of it being 'boring'.
yeah, I think after the game on Friday I was hooked back in. If the Mavs win tonight we'll have a story on our hands.
Raw view numbers don't tell you much about whether the basketball product was interesting or not though it just tells you about how well marketed it was and the recognizability of the names. As any good UA-camr knows the real number that tells you whether people are interested or not once they start watching is audience retention. I'd be curious to know what finals series had the highest retention numbers.
it's interesting to see game to game how the ratings go up and down. game 7 is always the real money maker.
this is what slaps 🗣️
nah, you're what slaps.
if only the mavs won game 3, I figured the celtics were gonna lose game 4 to celebrate the win in boston
if the mavs can win game 5 we have a series
I'm rooting heavy for Dallas, because this video becomes irrelevant if boston wins tonight.
I’m calling it - mavs in 7!!!! (I don’t really think so but team will blow a 3-0 lead in the finals eventually).
manifest it. speak it into existence.
Would the finals this year get anywhere close to all-time viewership levels if the Mavs force a game 7? Would love people's opinion on this
Also whatslaps the goat as usual
The NBA always hopes for a game 7
@@whatslaps yeah of course. To clarify I'm wondering if the mavs being the first to overcome a 3-0 deficit would bring a bunch of casuals. No one has ever done it so a game 7 is required to bring the hype for that storyline
Assuming boston wins, up to this point jb deserves the mvp
it's close, but I think he edges tatum
Whatslaps tatted on my wrist lets get it
I have a severed head tattoo
Thanks!
stay bless brotha!
Good call on brown winning fmvp

This Celtics team is so stacked it's not even funny. Imagine the 15'- 18' warriors matched with anyone but Cavs in the final, that's how this year final feel like. Luka and Kyrie is no pushover but i mean... They aren't no Lebron yet.
Im not even talking about skill, just narrative alone, Lebron is already in top 10 convos at the time, KD and Steph are on track and had so much to prove, those final was intense for both sides
I know. I can't believe the Mavs made it that far. Same with last year and the heat. I think it killed the finals both years.
In conclusion: It should've been bucks vs nuggets👌
that would have done crazy numbers
The only good NBA finals is when the team I like is there.
ain't that the truth
Celtics vs Warriors was more boring than this series
I was on vacation that year. Only saw game 1
Do u have a Patreon
not yet. I have a week or two off in July so I'll probably work on one then.
Mock draft?
maybe. I'd literally just be stealing content from other people's mock drafts. I don't know how to analyze that stuff.
As much as I dislike them, it's not Celtics fault that they lack the narrative to make this series interesting, anyway I'm still rooting for the mavs
absolutely. I think they're just early in their story. go mavs!
yes, very, lets hope it ends tonight so we can get some real basketball with the Olympics
I gets less boring the more the mavs win though
hopefully maericks win game 5 6 and 7 because i really don't want the celtics to win anything
same same.
