It's a massive deal, so it's hard to swallow any impending doom. To me the deal seems more like the deals major A-list movie stars make: a cut of the up-front box office instead of a fixed salary. It's risky, but a massive upside if the movie is a hit. If the NBA's revenue slides because of falling TV revenue, won't they be pulled down as well?
