EUROLEAGUE, FIBA, NCAA and WNBA games are all 40 minutes away. Why is NBA 48 minutes?
Adam Silver raised the question in an interview.And the downstream ripple effect is attractive. Obviously, the 10 -minute quarter will have the biggest impact. The NBA was close to the two -hour broadcast window, and when someone is constantly fighting to maintain the latest state for 30 other teams, he welcomes him faster. Perhaps a few minutes will reduce superstar injuries. Perhaps the biggest threat to league popularity.
But there are a lot of subtle knock effects. Most NBA records will be unbearable (NBA doesn’t record as much as MLB, but Chase is still excited!). Fans are also essentially understanding what “good” statistics are per game depending on the decades of exposure and experience. They need to be re -corrected their expectations, which can lead to some friction.
But maybe most worried What will happen to the player and the list. If the starter usually plays 30-35 minutes per game today, the play time will not be reduced much. However, sales of an average of 18 minutes per game can be seen that the minute decreases by more than 30 %, which is reflected in the salary. If you play less backup, it is more important to play, and if the starter plays more, the difference is small and there is less parity overnight.
Theoretically shorter games can lead to smaller lists as a whole. For example, ten active players can save the boat rod to the owner instead of 12.
Shortcut games solve one problem, but introduce more.
