The death of the NBA

[Whisky Dog]

Blame Stern, this league has gone to under his watch. It's just a couple steps away from being as insignificant as professional hockey.

Agreed, plus you look at the NBA's business strategy and it's a complete failure....the Michael Jordan promote teams stars model.

You look at the NFL and it's like night and day, the league promotes teams, but star players still get highlighted. Simply the NFL doesn't have unfair bias to small market teams and neither does the media strangely.

Conversely you see the NBA almost constantly rewarding player achievements like player of the week; where's the team of the week?

NFL has player of the week honors aswell, but still you make a good point

This is one of the consequences of creating a 'star system' where the best players and franchises are treated differently.
