Right now that revenue has surely decreased with the less viewership in TV's, no promotion for months and no tickets to be sold. Well, they can still get revenues from ads on TV but it's really a huge loss on merchandise and tickets I suppose.

You can see in numbers 1 and 2 of the article he always says. "Anything could happen"
Without the homecourt advantage, any team can win in season or in playoffs.
Might as well ignore those screen that is showing a "homecourt advantage like" basketball floor.
Be careful with your bets.

Right now I am depending on team lineups.

Good read guys.

I will grab just a little in that article.

Quote

Milwaukee was on track for 70 wins most of the season. That milestone is out now, but a championship was always the goal, and the Bucks are the favorite to come out of the East. I wouldn't call them the clear favorite. I still question a team that relies on its best player to put his head down and barrel to the rim, and I don't think I'm alone in that.

NBA are losing money, good thing we have some owner who make this kind of decision just to make the salary of the players intact, but the question is, how long can they bail this corona virus effect? As per the article, majority of the income are coming from ticket sales, it will impact big time since NBA force to resume without a crowd, hence no ticket sales.

More likely they already discussed this matters and come into conclusion that the pandemic will dissapear after the vaccine will be distributed to the world by the Russian Federation which not be that long if God's will. Not just Russia, I heard UK has passed the initial test of their discovered vaccine and might introduce it sooner to their people. more good news are coming, let's hope this will result for us to come back to our normal lives.

After Kyrie Irving, I think there will be more players that will do the same.

Maybe you're right and some top players will make individual donate or, maybe NBPA will initiate some financial support for staff and players of WNBA.

Of course, this is to support the basketball for this is the mere reason for their living. This is one way to keep the numbers of fan will be able to continue to support the basketball and for that if help is needed to continue then it is a good decision to help. Besides, they too earning huge because of their talent in basket so it is also a way of paying back to the community or the basketball fans.

I don't think it's a thing that is related to keeping the fans but it's a way to give those WNBA players support as they are also struggling this pandemic.
It's not that Kyrie Irving is paying to the basketball fans but he's helping the WNBA players, the athletes who can't do on to play because of the pandemic. Those players that were affected of covid and decided not to play will get support from the fund that he has donated.

NBA rumors: Warriors considering $250M deal to help cap issues during virus

Quote

The Warriors are expected to have the NBA's highest payroll next season. With the coronavirus pandemic expected to impact revenue by forcing the NBA to hold games without fans, the Warriors are in search of ways to lessen the blow if Chase Center's doors have to be shuttered.

Owner Joe Lacob reportedly might have found a way to help mitigate the financial impact the virus will have on the Warriors. Lacob informed other owners he's considering a deal with Goldman Sachs that would raise up to $250 million to help with the Warriors' expenses, ESPN's Brain Windhorst reported Monday.

With four players -- Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins -- slated to make $22 million or more next season and a $17.2 million trade exception to use, the Warriors could use an injection of capital in order to keep their payroll intact.

The NBA informed its owner that 40 percent of the league's revenue comes from ticket sales and in-arena sponsorships. But the Warriors get 80 percent of their income from games at Chase Center and can make around $5 million in one home game, sources told Windhorst. For other teams, the take from a single home game can be less than $2 million, and others make less than $1 million on average.

NBA are losing money, good thing we have some owner who make this kind of decision just to make the salary of the players intact, but the question is, how long can they bail this corona virus effect? As per the article, majority of the income are coming from ticket sales, it will impact big time since NBA force to resume without a crowd, hence no ticket sales.

I do not understand why WNBA is not getting more attention, ....

NBA are getting more attention as most basketball fans are men, just like in any sports, there are boxing for women but most boxing fans are watching the boxing for me. However, there are also games where women are popular, and they are getting attention, just like a volleyball games.

Agree. But let us not stop with that.
I still tune in with WNBA live whenever I have time.
I guess that is the downside. Most men will just watch them if there is nothing exciting about other sports or there is free time.
We should still support them, they also have their charities which plays a big factor for those who are in need.

Huge difference, WNBA almost non existence when compared to NBA.
Look at the revenue, only $60 million, that's even lower than a salary of the 2 highest paid NBA players.

Thanks for the trivia, didn't know that.

I do not understand why WNBA is not getting more attention, I love watching their games because to be perfectly honest they are still x1000 better than me, sure they may not be as good as NBA players, and I wouldn't expect them to because NBA has been around for like... 70 years? And WNBA is brand new comparitively and they do not get the same amount of attention and money and even be a viable career choice because even the WNBA stars go to other nations to make real amount of money and come back to WNBA after that, but to be honest I believe even if "women can't be as good in physical stuff as men", there is still a chance that WNBA could be a lot better if you give a ton of money, attention, more slots on TV, and actual marketing spending tens of millions all around the world to make it a global thing like NBA, you will eventually have superstars there that could actually be so amazing you would basically feel like NBA games of today.

Meanwhile, I am going to keep watching and keep supporting, what Kyrie Irving did (and I am sure tens of other NBA players will join very soon) is a great thing, if you fix economical stuff in WNBA, you fix almost everything in there as well.

A big apology for my post. I have just read that WNBA resume and Irving's financial assistance are for those who decide not to participate. A rule that is not mandatory compares to the NBA. Thanks for clarification.

No matter what the violation is as long as it involves in compromising the health of everyone in the bubble must be sanctioned with a permanent suspension in the Orlando bubble.
Come to think of it, the NBA did everything they can to resume their business and make sure everyone is safe and clean. And then there's this individuals who

Unfortunately, never seen a big penalty for those violators. They should suspend these players alongside a decent amount penalty as a fine. 10 days quarantine is not enough and 2 game suspension. If that so, it's easy to violate the protocol as all players will just face a not that strict penalty.

But actually, no need for protocol. These players should be matured enough to think that the virus should be taken seriously. A hard-headed so I'm sided with Perkins tweet against Lou.

They need to receive a penalty that is quite huge for them. So they know that this situation is really pretty serious. Everybody's health is at stake not only them. If they can afford to be hospitalized receiving premium health care assistance, there are people around them that can't.

But I'm happy that NBA season resumes, sportbookies will be busy again.

Maybe they realized that WNBA is not a big market as the NBA, so sacrificing the safety and to spend million again to resume is not viable for the organization, so with this, I think all eyes are on the NBA season resumption now.

Made sense. I don't know what exactly happened in the WNBA bubble (not a fan), but I have read an article early this month how messy the bubble was, specially that women are very meticulous on the environment sanitary and comfort satisfactory standard.

Quote from: Questat on July 28, 2020, 01:29:39 AM

Him not to be able to play in the first game of the reopening, that's already a sanction, the team needs him as they are facing the Lakers here.
No Lou Williams, Beverly, and Montrezl Harrell, I doubt they'll win against the Lakers. I wonder what are the sanctions of those who previously caught violating the rules.

No matter what the violation is as long as it involves in compromising the health of everyone in the bubble must be sanctioned with a permanent suspension in the Orlando bubble.
Come to think of it, the NBA did everything they can to resume their business and make sure everyone is safe and clean. And then there's this individuals who carelessly roaming around as If he's covid proof.
Suspension from the bubble is the most appropriate disciplinary action the NBA would take.
Athletes are supposed to have a strong self discipline, but what Lou did is the complete opposite.

Are there Kyrie Irving fans out there? let's appreciate this guy's golden heart and care for the other athletes, mainly the WNBA players.
Kyrie Irving commits $1.5M for WNBA players skipping season

I totally forgot about this. WNBA season supposedly starts this month of June.

So they decided not to pursue the season like going in a bubble, same with NBA. A good choice too although sacrificing the league's revenue, players, and staff's salary.

After Kyrie Irving, I think there will be more players that will do the same.

I hope that there will be other players that will also give their bows for the other league. Although harizen is right, they didn't stopped the league but the pledge of Irving is for those who opt not to commit themselves during this pandemic.
If most of the athletes and NBA players are like him, there will always be those who would love to help others. I know many of them are generous to enough and don't show it to the public but this encourages everyone to be in help for others.

Let's clarify this.

WNBA didn't cancelled or suspended their season this year. Teams will play instead a shorten season with only 22 regular games at their own bubble. They already started their regular season games last weekend.

Kyrie Irving's pledge are for those WNBA players who opt-out to play this season for their own reason. WNBA players can apply for financial assistance on the organization’s website so not all are eligible to received it.

To be eligible, players must have been on a roster before skipping the 2020 campaign, explain the reasons they decided to opt out, have medical considerations connected to the coronavirus pandemic and cannot be receiving a salary or financial assistance from any company or organization.

I don't think Clippers side will agree on it since he's one of the shooting guard they could have and besides the opening is nearing. That was reckless of him really but I think there will be considerations set but I think this is the second time it happened and if the third time another thing happened I don't know what sanctions will be given to the player maybe banning for the entire game until over is better.

Quote from: Reid on July 27, 2020, 11:18:35 PM

This should be a last warning for him. I hope NBA can be more strict with this kind of events.
They cannot just let them get in and out like that. It's sad, Lou didn't even think about how he will endanger the whole team, worse everyone in the bubble.

I see. That must be the most fair action then Undecided

And when you are in a strip club the idea of social distancing couldn't really work within the concept of it as well. Hence, I think he did put everyone in the bubble at risk, we still don't have the results but if he is clear that is because he got lucky and not because he wasn't doing anything wrong.

First of all they are both not making too much sense when they talk, both of them approach the subject wrongly, however in reality Perkins has the right point.

Lou Will could talk about "stopping for a hot wing" all he wants, he was caught in a strip club with naked ladies and I am pretty sure he wasn't there for the buffett neither, dude was there to have fun, this is the dude we make fun of because he has 2 girlfriends at the same time (and yes they are aware of each other, this is a three way relationship with all three peoples consent so nothing to joke in reality) so I am 100% sure that we are talking about a dude who went to strip club to have some fun.
