Summary

In this episode, Dieter Kurtenbach joins me to talk about the NBA ratings stuff. Does it matter that the NBA ratings are down? Should the alarm bells be going for the league? Is this an actual issue of viewership? Or is it a monetization problem where the NBA needs to figure out how to sell advertising in regard to internet viewers? Is it a surprise? What matters here? We chatted about movies, too. What are the best movies I've seen this year? What did Dieter think of The Irishman? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
