Haven't cared for the NBA for years now. I guess I'm just not a fan of the league, but am (was) a fan of a team. Today's NBA is about forming a few loaded teams and hyping (pimping) the heck out of them. Small market teams may occasionally draft or acquire a highly talented guy, but it's only inevitable that he will not be there for long.
For those that like the NBA, that's fine and good for them. I see it more as a few Globetrotter teams and a bunch of Washington Generals teams (only the Generals DO get to win games when they don't really count).
