This is kind of what people are missing. These people really do produce millions of dollars worth of labour. That's how entertainers are paid; the more people want to see their performance, the more that performance is worth.

I feel like enshitification has hit the NBA too. People keep saying, as you are, that these contracts are worth it because they bring in the money, but the games to me personally are unwatchable.

There are ads EVERYWHERE, constantly... Every inch, every second is plastered with ads. I don't bother watching anything until the playoffs, and even then I pick my poison.

Now, obviously my opinion doesn't matter because there are people watching, but I honestly don't know how much longer it can go... They play ads between free throws...

If you watched the Olympic games it feels like it isn't even the same sport, it's so much more enjoyable.
