@Jplaya2023 in 2025: NBA should start on St. Patrick's Day
no Division rivalries is just bad for your regular season. It’s the only sport that doesn’t have themYeah but the teams who have the most continuity are not really rivals aside from maybe the C's and Heat. The C's and Bucks/Sixers could be a rivalry I guess.... The Heat and Bucks are somewhat rivals.
The Nuggets and Warriors aren't really rivals. The Nuggets and Lakers aren't really rivals.
what assisted them this year was the writers and actors strike.It would absolutely go down.
There is a reason why the NFL wanted to be on as many OTA channels as possible, maximum exposure.

he said nba is more popular than nfl globally, why are your bringing up rugby and soccer?Soccer is more popular so is rugby or and cricket than the nba but we are talking about USA
I got nothin
This. Literally because each division must have a play-off team representing them it makes kind of a "sub-tournament" every season and these fanbases having animosity towards each other.no Division rivalries is just bad for your regular season. It’s the only sport that doesn’t have them
players not building their brands and creating a fanbase through college is another big problem but y’all have heard me say a million times that the g league is stupid
It will be a triple head on Thursday in 2025 watchChristmas is on a Wednesday (leap year) next year. It won't happen again for another 5 years.
NFL did a 'Black Friday' game this year on a Friday afternoon.
Of course they're gonna find a way to have a game on Wednesday. Prob will name it "a special edition of TNF" or something. They greedy like that.
The NFL players have QBs making 55 million a year and receivers getting like 28 and elite defensive ends and OLBs getting like 30 and then every else gets in where het fit in. It’s not remotely the same. The NBA has non guaranteed contracts and all sports of clauses as well. Zion literally has a fat clause in his contract that just voided his guarantees.The NFL generated 18 billion dollars in revenue. I’m not trying to hear about no middle class. Having more players doesn’t negate contract guarantees or force the dreaded franchise tag that’s just greedy
The NFL is as American as apple pie, 17 games so every game matters, fanbases actually put team above all instead of one or two players, there are actual division rivalries, etc. It makes sense most of America will turn on an NFL game over an NBA game, yes, even on Christmas.
Now compare those instances in the NBA and you got a lot of player movement, every other week it seems a player is disgruntled and might want to go elsewhere, “rivalries” if you want to call them that only really materialize in the postseason and that’s if they match up more than once, even then you never know because the team may look completely different from year to year. Lakers Celtics don’t even seem to have the juice it once did, and even then they only play twice a season. In the NBA some of the best players are foreign, and as much as people don't seem to think that matters it does if you want a big national reach here in the US. You could also add most if not all teams play the same, which has made the game more efficient, but you can't blame people for not wanting to tune into a 3pt shooting contest. There's not much variety in the game anymore.
