The NBA 2024-25 season has begun with several exciting games, but viewership has not met expectations. Compared to previous years, the audience for NBA games has significantly declined this season. Former 3x NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas recently noted that the rising costs of watching games are a major factor contributing to this decrease.
Shaquille O’Neal recently suggested that increased three-point shooting is responsible for the decline in NBA viewership. Additionally, during a recent episode of the show “Gil’s Arena,” former 3x NBA All-Star Arenas discussed who is truly responsible for teams taking so many three-point shots.
Arenas: “I blame the coaches for this era… You know who TF can shoot and who can’t shoot!”
