Charles Barkley called out the NBA for putting money first in the new media rights deal.
Much has been made about the new media rights deal in the NBA that likely will be the end of TNT broadcasting games. Despite the immense popularity of the show 'Inside the NBA', we could soon see the end of the programming. The NBA reportedly agreed on a new lucrative broadcast media rights deal that is set to tip off at the start of the 2025-26 season. This new agreement will see the association split games between ABC/ESPN, NBC, and Amazon.
There's nothing wrong with streaming, but when you start just going to the highest bidder and you're not on regular television, I think you do a disservice to the fan. But in fairness, the players want to make as much money as possible. The owners want to make as much money as possible. But ... the fan's always the most important thing. No matter how much money you make, if the people are not watching, it's a lose-lose proposition.
