The Women’s NCAA championship game had better ratings than the NBA supposedly

Nope.
However it was close.
2022 NBA Finals 12.4 Million.
2023 Women’s NCAA 9.4 Million.

As a Celtics fan, I was over the Lakers in the 60’s. Ha ha.

When you are too PC for Phil Jackson you have a problem.

I played softball against Jackson once, in Grand Forks. I knew who he was, but didn’t recognize him, till others guys told me it was Phil Jackson.

You could tell it was him as he was bouncing the softball like a basketball...

Probably in the 2000-to-2005 era, I had diminishing interest, and last NBA game I watched was 2013.

About the same for me. Jordan Era was great. LeBron sucks.

It’s a shame that I have a collection of Lakers jerseys and stuff I refuse to wear now because of a few selfish players.

After the Lakers let me down allowing La Bran and others make fools of the franchise I’ve switched my allegiance to LA Kings hockey, and of course my lifelong first love, the Dodgers.

Go Kings Go!
