The NBA Cup Final between the Milwaukee Bucks and Oklahoma City Thunder is tonight and Dan takes a few minutes to discuss the state of the NBA considering their recent drop in television ratings. He thinks they need to follow baseball’s example and make some changes and improve their product or they may end up on the pile of once popular sports like boxing and horse racing that have fallen off the American sports landscape.
Dan Patrick: “We’ve seen sports that just fall off. Horse racing, boxing; they fall off. Baseball, that was America’s pastime; fell off. The NBA, they’re kind of trying to hold on for dear life. The NFL is just bulldozing everybody, I get that, but you can still maintain your place, at least you hope to, on the sports ladder...What are you going to do?”
