....yet the latest media deal is 160% higher per year compared to the current contract and the average NBA team valuation has doubled over the past four years. Perhaps linear/cable TV ratings is an outdated measure of popularity.

While I have no doubt there are some fans turned off and turned away from the game due to politics or other factors, it remains a very profitable league for owners. And money is the ultimate measuring stick of success in the marketplace.
