he just discussed the culture thing in a round about way. said some of the stuff weve mentioned here is there, but he thought it was that outside of the 15 year jordan/magic/bird era it has been a secondary sport. used attendances to state how pre that era they couldnt draw league wide, tv ratings were second tier. went on to just say the only nba city is la, the only primary nba city with its "team" was the lakers. he mentioned the suns come a close second in that regard.

all and all pretty interesting, and i thought of this thread...

Well I tend to agree with him, but if Lebron could really put Cleveland back on the map and with a team like the Suns make a run, and with the young superstars, I think the NBA could make a comeback...

Honestly I think alot of the stuff has to do with the lack of a superstar that is watchable...Ironically for this thread you have had some softspoken superstars or team play that has been winning titles lately...

Guys like Duncan, Dirk, Nash that have been leading their team arent you superstars that draw people, then you had the team play of the Pistons, that also won't draw your fans...

But Most people didnt watch b/c Duncan and Dirk are thugs...
