Just like WDW promotes they hire veterans, look into hiring the former NBA players to work in the attraction. Some of them made millions throughout their career , spent it all living la vida loca, and are now broke. That may drive interest in guests checking out NBA.

Crazy that it turned out to be different from Universal, but in a bad way.

I don't understand why they are shocked. This sounded like a bad idea from the beginning. I rarely say anything negative, but this really made no sense. Maybe in the NBA boom in the team usa days and space jam, and when all the planet hollywoods and hard rocks were doing well, when stuff like this seemed popular. Now if this had been built near the hall of fame, near an nba stadium or in a big town with nothing else it might work. But theres too many better options around it.

Like, what? 10 a day?
I really can’t figure out why the NBA thought this was a good idea. Were there audience tests? Polls? Orlando is saturated with activities as it is, this was the wrong market.

Universal kicked them out of CityWalk so they stormed off to Disney. That’s it. This whole thing exists because of chocolate.
They should charge $99 to make a mechanized BBBall.

This is one of those projects that I struggled to imagine from the day it was announced. Could it be fun? Absolutely. Are there enough guests who will take the time and money to experience this? Apparently not.

When this thread first started I posted early on I did not think it would do well. Oh well

As someone that has been to this ,for me the issue is that there is barely anything to do in here.I feel it is bare and boring .

The only thing shocking about this situation is that they thought it would be a success.

The NBA practically prints money. Whatever this place loses, won't matter one bit.

I think you are right... This was just a bad idea from the start...They should have moved the ESPN ZONE restaurant into that space and put something more appropriate at the Boardwalk...Though I suppose with NBA they did not have to pay for it or run it...So there is that...They need something really amazing on that side of the Springs... Like a Jekyll and Hide Club or something equally theatrical...
