I agree with most of the issues you're bringing up (not so much the 3 one).
But compared to the issues the NFL has... It's basically a zero.

The best team in the NBA almost always wins in a given year. Personally I like that. You can't luck your way into a championship.

I’m countering you by saying that you’re completely ignoring half of the group project when you’re handing out grades

That’s the nature of the league and sport where one or two players have that much impact on winning. Other than conference realignment....the game is in a great space right now as far as product goes.
You can argue the competition angle...but from a sheer entertainment product and growing sport....it’s a hell of a product right now.

it's always been like that tho .
I don't care . NFL season means more for obvious reasons and only big games and the nba playoffs are really entertaining . The 80 nba games is od . Nba has trash officiating and it has been an issue for awhile .NFL is much better officiated.
Couldn't choose between them tho.love them both the same. It's not a competition or a I have to choose one or the other. I could give a rats as which is more popular.

It's just like, how much value is concentrated in one player versus spread out among a bunch of different players. How many net points does one player get you. Dirk has to be the biggest gap between player A and player B on a championship team since at least '03 (as you suggested). I think that's really impressive. I am not downplaying the contributions of the role players on that team.I’m countering you by saying that you’re completely ignoring half of the group project when you’re handing out grades
But the difference between role players and stars is role players are interchangeable and are not consistent. They don't need to bring it every night at a star level. Dirk had to bring it every. damn. night.

I'd be down for a 60 game NBA season.
But then Bron couldn't pass Kareem.
I'm good.

you cant luck your way into a championship in the NFL either.. the format does allow for the better team to be beat, though.. since it's 1 and done
for example look at the '01 nba finals, the lakers were obviously the far better team but the 6ers won game 1
baseball, you need to be playing well come the playoffs and WS
but right now, you have 4 all nba-ers on the same team.. how many teams even got 2? houston?

Last year was the only time in the warriors run that it was a foregone conclusion
. Don’t forget 2016 when they came back from 3-1 against okc in the WCF...only to get beat after being up 3-1 on a last second shot in game 7 of the nba finals. That is greatness. As much as I hated that moment cuz F-Bron 24/7....that’s a hell of a....product. You want to see the best at their best in the highest stakes. We’ve gotten that for the better part of the last few years...as well as the game expanding and revolutionizing.
We’re at a point where actual skill and concepts are at a premium in basketball. 5 best players on the floor that can all shoot/pass/dribble/rebound/defend is what you see at the end of games. That’s what we’re trending to, and it’s good.

Right now the NBA should shorten the season or shorten the playoffs. There really is no point of having a 7th or 8th seed anymore. They very rarely win. They should also shorten the first round back down to 5 games.
Right now the 82 game season basically means nothing. The good teams coast through it and the bad teams tank for the last half of the season.
Other than competition, the NBA has plenty of other problems (as does all leagues, especially the NFL) such as reffing with superstar treatment, tanking, length of the season and playoffs, and flopping.
No league is without its faults, but the NFL is far and away the most popular sport in the US.

Yup it's about the 7 game series. The best team is rarely beat in that format. Plus basketball is just not a sport with as many wild swings in variance like baseball.
I don't really care if the Warriors win every year (not written in stone btw, they've won 2 of 3 but people act like this is 6 in a row). I'm just here to appreciate beautiful basketball being played. And basketball is a beautiful sport.

NBA officiating has been disgusting for a while. Remember that fuss over the replacement refs in the NFL a while back?
Like that **** is every day in the NBA. Aint no one making that big of a deal over bad calls because we've all learned to deal with the nonsense.
I do like the ability to challenge BS calls that the League has but with the NBA constantly looking to speed up the game I doubt we'll ever get something like that in the NBA.

Trump is the President. I don't really give a damn what some of the U.S. thinks, you know?
NBA can be more popular worldwide though.

NFL also full of clown *** racist owners with overseer mentality that don't give a damm about the players. They've showed their *** for too long and people are starting to turn away.
NBA is where it's at.

Derozan is better than Oladipo man. I wouldn’t say by a huge margin or anything but he’s better.

who said i forgot any of this?
you're talking about the warriors team that ONLY had the 3 all nba-ers and won 73 games
i think that was the last time the league had an opportunity to be what you described.. the last 2 seasons ive viewed as pointless
even without steph, they have had what 1 tough game in this playoffs so far? how many did they have last postseason?
