Off-Season NBL Overtime - LaMelo Ball and RJ Hampton Edition Has over 80000 views in two days, hundreds of comments and the NBL YouTube channel follows are going up fast and now the boomers get the W over the USA . NBL already has more people following in the USA than Australia.
How big can the NBL get in the USA?
How big can the NBL get in Australia?
The NBL might get LaBron James jr in year or two.
No they won't.
By then High school kids will be able to go straight to g league. Prove themselves over a year and then get drafted.
so of all the great things that the NBL puts out, one of the most awkward, cringe-worthy, borderline unwatcheable media items is the one that goes viral? makes sense..

The whole thing was cringe worthy that's why it's popular
The NBL didn't know it was getting Lamelo a year ago things can change in the NBA but the NBL can change to, like draft pick next stars.
Overtime will get lots of views this year and I bet James jr is watching amongst others
How will this help the NBL?
Only basketball fans would even know this show even exists.
Have you heard of a thing called sponsorship?
100k views
Will the nbl now make a genuine effort to make Overtime watchable?
Only basketball fans would even know this show even exists.
Arrr what ? I'm a fan of a lot of different sports and I know about it. Do you enjoy other sports?
LaMelo has a big reach young kids love him the more fans he brings in to the NBL the more people will see overtime it’s already happening. All the social media sites to do with the NBL are going up in numbers. I’ve been waiting for this day for 30 years yahoo:)
It's not about overtime it’s about the NBL getting some well deserved recognition for what it has become over 40 years of competition. We all should try and be positive about this it’s a big moment in the history of the NBL
The show has to improve for sure. They should always have a guest player, coach, staff, hall of famed/legends etc.
Like thenbl1 part. Genuine highlights and analysis also needed.
NBL YouTube channel has gone from 11k to 12k over night

James Ennis won a ring for Perth, loved it here, and went on to an NBA career.
Yet prior to being approached, he knew nothing about the NBL.
We wouldn't have LaMelo or Hampton without the improved exposure the league has been getting, and they in turn are taking it to the next level. This in turns means more people, and more important people monitoring our league, seeing the quality. If they were to go in the lottery, can you imagine how huge that would be for us?
I don't know if it was even an option, but LaMelo's dad said he didn't want him in the G-League.
Plus, the crazy thing is that "Australia" probably seems like an "exotic" destination to most young guys. (Not realising how similar it is to back home.)
The other thing, is that if you're looking to sell our product to an American Sports network as filler, it is a very valuable market.
So any publicity is good.
80,000 views isn't viral. Maybe 80 million views

Definition of going viral
As a marketer, community manager, or social media user, you probably have a pre-existing idea of what "going viral" means. According to Urban Dictionary, something that “goes viral” is an image, video, or link that spreads rapidly through a population by being frequently shared with a number of individuals.

Geez, some of you blokes are hard to please. Previous average views on the channel was about 1.5K, with a low of 500-odd. If you don't think that 150K views gets sponsors attention from both the US and Aus then I really don't know what to say to you.
150k is nothing unless it's for every video.
What are you taking the piss ?

And the happy birthday melo from the NBL video is up to 30k views and it's stll a month away from the start of season.
happy birthday melo from the NBL video is up to 42k
200k still isn't going viral. Missing the point.
Most episodes get 1k or less. This one is up to 220k now. That is amazing.
I have to laugh when someone says 200k isn't viral. Clearly who ever thinks that knows nothing about what viral is on Youtube. Great yes, amazing no.
Still not viral. Ffs
How do you define viral ? Why are you being so negative?
Here is the definition of viral

Nothing about how many views it's had
And it’s now had 227k views plus the latest overtime video is going up nicely and so is the NBL YouTube substitution everything looks positive to me.
according to your google research everything is viral. Saying something isn't viral is not being negative, it's simply stating a fact. Nothing rapidly got shared here.
sounds like you've probably watched it 225k times considering how many times you've gone back on youtube and updated us all on a small view count

Your very negative towards this subject. To have something viewed 223k times in 5 days is a massive amount and had to be shared multiple times to get to that number as well as the happy birthday melo video with 82k views the blitz video has over 1k and the new overtime video has over 2.8k views plus all of the videos are still going up constantly as well as the NBL YouTube subscribers . All positive stuff I'm beginning to think your just an angry troll
sounds like you've probably watched it 225k times considering how many times you've gone back on youtube and updated us all on a small view count
Do you know how YouTube works? I don't have to watch the videos to see how many views it’s had try and keep up mate . And this is the biggest moment in NBL history don’t you want to be updated on that?
223k views is a big number I’d like to see you get anywhere near that on a YouTube video good luck lol your showing everyone here that your a negative troll , go back to your bridge troll
Have had multiple videos go 1 million plus. But have yet to get a video to go "viral". Enjoy throwing out the stats. Are you the NBL social media manager?

Wikipedia definition of a YouTube viral video
A viral video is a video that becomes popular through a viral process of Internet sharing, typically through video sharing websites such as YouTube as well as social media and email. Viral videos may be serious, and some are deeply emotional, but many more are centered on entertainment and humorous content.
Still no figures
#925 you probably work for the afl, they don't like competition from basketball.
I have a google photo that has 1mill+ likes. That is not viral.
Same applies to this example. Lots of people like it. If that was the case I am sure TV would pick it up. Wait a sec, they haven't.
Does basketball compete with AFL at all in Australia?
Some of us realise the world is bigger than just Australia.
Well done champ. Question still stands. Doubt the AFL is too worried about a competition constantly on the brink of folding.
Why are you talking about the afl?
I'm talking about the NBL
1k views in 1 day. Yeah that's still going viral. Stick to your day job

NBL will fall back into oblivion because its not a football code, its really a tall mans game whereas AFL and Rugby take all sorts of shapes and sizes and are contact sports which us Aussies want.
^look he's back trolly Mctrollface the negative angry troll how’s you day going mate ? Good to see your keeping up on the NBL video going viral still. It’s doing well good to see the NBL social media is starting to pick up. More people = more $$$$ = a bigger and better NBL
NBL will fall back into oblivion because its not a football code, its really a tall mans game whereas AFL and Rugby take all sorts of shapes and sizes and are contact sports which us Aussies want.
Yeah you make some valid points I think the NBL needs to focus on the young and grassroots to get more fans with melo and rj some older NBL fans seem to be a bit out off by the melo fad . I see a lot more parents not wanting their kids playing afl or NRL so it's a good area for the NBL to start. The NBL is also saying they are going to expand into Asia with up to 4 teams along with a new team in Sydney and Melbourne so maybe it might just keep getting bigger
Name me anyone playing either rugby codes that is shorter than 6ft and ways less than 100 kilos. The afl has a few under 6ft and they are in the very minority. An average afl list height is around 6ft 2", 188cm and weight is also averaging around 90 kilos, these sizes certainly don't fit the average joe blow.
You can hate on basketball all you like but your lies will be picked up.
Caleb Daniel is an excellent AFL player and is 168cm. How many NBL starters are that height? Bench players? DPs? Coaches??
"The NBL is also saying they are going to expand into Asia with up to 4 teams along with a new team in Sydney and Melbourne so maybe it might just keep getting bigger"
Current amount of teams is unsustainable lol this will never happen
You have named one afl player, where are the rugby players?
I don't follow rugby and I don't agree that it includes all shapes and sizes anyway. AFL is way more diverse than rugby when it comes to physique.

The notion that anyone can play any pro sport without being a genetic freak in some way is absurd.
This one anon backing up this viral statement is a complete retard
Less than 0.0001% of the world saw it. Not viral
Shocking maths #759796. Actually about 0.003% of the world has seen it. i.e. viral.
Less than 0.0001% of the world saw it. Not viral
Lol are you still coming in to this thread trying to disprove it. It's on the way to over a million views give it some time. It’s a awesome thing for the NBL you should try and embrace change and enjoy the ride.
This NBL YouTube video has had way more views than the highest viewed videos on the afl and NRL YouTube channels by over a hundred thousand and the subscriber count is going up constantly. Just this one video has changed the NBL forever

The only NBL video that may go viral is if Ball Sr. cuts sick into Matt Flinn.

Howdy dudes. I was just googling #melofactor and I got this thread high up in the results. Thanks to you guys I found the Melo Overtime episode on Youtube. That's quite a lil web show you got there. It would have been even more handy dandy if you had posted the URL in the thread. Anyways thanks a bunch I'll be sure to keep checking it out. I guess you could say I've caught the virus too.
#thanks #smellyalater
^all good mate glad I could help :) enjoy the #melofactor in the NBL this season
Anon just made a fake account to pretend someone else is supportive of this thread. Hashtags dead giveaway
