nba is a 12 month league on espn now
NBA is on the upswing among the younger crowd. Football is losing viewers among that same subset. The NFL is still king but "Prince NBA" is still gaining ground. And when one looks globally, it might turn into a real rivalry in terms of viewership and $$.It's one of the four major sports. Very popular with the younger crowd and advertisers.
I was saying to a friend look at how much interest the offseason is getting. Just imagine if the actual season/playoffs was good ball with more parity? If you're Silver, you're like wow we have a pretty high ceiling.NBA is on the upswing among the younger crowd. Football is losing viewers among that same subset.

Parity is a long ways away in the NBA. But the top portion still is very entertaining. Rockets want to be a part of that upper echelon also now.I was saying to a friend look at how much interest the offseason is getting.

I can tell you don't know the NBA travel rules, it's been the same for 40+ years but people still think they're watching high school basketball...and parity is starting to come around, watch out for Minnesota and Milwaukee.I would probably watch more if it wasnt for the officiating and lac of rule enforcement/favoritism for superstars. Something about watching a guy travel into the lane, run into three people and go to the line doesnt appeal.
I will say Golden state was fun to watch cuz of all the passing, like those great old spurs teams. However lack of parity as mentioned before hurts.
If you're talking about watch out fors... I guess Minnesota and Milwaukee have more this season, but I'd keep my eyes on the Philadelphia 76ers. They've finally put together some really talented pieces. I expect them to make the playoffs this year with a much higher ceiling in the coming 2 - 4 years.I can tell you don't know the NBA travel rules, it's been the same for 40+ years but people still think they're watching high school basketball...and parity is starting to come around, watch out for Minnesota and Milwaukee.
No doubt, I'm very excited about this upcoming season, I expect the celtics to fall a lot of other teams to rise. Finals will still be golden state vs ClevelandIf you're talknig about watch out fors... I guess Minnesota and Milwaukee have more this season, but I'd keep my eyes on the Philadelphia 76ers.

I used to watch the NBA a lot. Last ten years have become unbearable. Glad you enjoy it, but please spare me the false assumption.I can tell you don't know the NBA travel rules, it's been the same for 40+ years but people still think they're watching high school basketball...and parity is starting to come around, watch out for Minnesota and Milwaukee.
