What separates the NBA from the other 3 major sports

[ViceCity86]

NFL- One game playoff-sudden death
NHL- Hot goalie HCA is meaningless
MLB-Best hitter can go 1-20 and pitching can have off weak

NBA-Cream always rises to the top-Bill Simmons
Except 2002 Kings and 2006 Mavs

How do you create parity in the NBA?..I agree the officiating is the worst of any sport, but it ties in to the superstar problem, which cannot be changed IMO..

Basketball, as a sport, is heavily influenced by the impact of a single player..as we have seen with many instances in the past, even having just one dominant player with a mediocre supporting cast can take you to the Semis/Finals..

NHL/hockey is a terrible comparison, tbh..home-ice is largely irrelevant, seeds are virtually pointless, a hot goalie can alter the course of an otherwise unspectacular team..NHL is a crapshoot, once the playoffs start..

A dominant scorer in hockey is on the ice for only a limited amount of time, same for every other sport, other than the NBA..

Agree 100% with this which is why NBA isn't at the top of my list in all of sports, i like seeing upsets.

Technically the last Cinderella story in the NBA was the Golden State Warriors.

What separates the NBA? It primarily celebrates the individual rather than team play.

son I'll tell you what separates the NBA is that the league rigs the games.

and the draft

It's harder to rebuild with a tight cap space and stupid ownership and front offices shooting themselves with dumbfounding moves.
