Only if the NFL implodes entirely. Until 2 years ago I was still a regular NFL viewer. It’s been 20 years since I paid close attention to the NBA. I’ll watch bits of an occasional regular Toronto Raptors game, but I find the lack of effort a turn off.
Not much of a choice there. Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum.
Actually the NBA will be declining on the heels of the NFL.
I think the NBA will be collateral damage due to the NFL and Baseball will take back the throne.
No it won’t. The NBA has a serious competitive balance problem. In the NBA you generally know as the trophy is hoisted which teams will meet in the championship round next year, with one “maybe” team in each conference. Last year the Cavs and Warriors met for the 3rd time in a row in the finals, with a combined playoff record to get there of 24-1. This lack of competition in the league is terrible for fans. This season the Celtics MIGHT upend the Cavs, nobody is upending the Warriors, and there is simply no reason to watch for any fan of any other team.
As if the NBA isn’t chock-full of Kaepernik wannabes.
I know I’m in the minority, but watching other people play games is an interest that has always eluded me, with the exception of baseball. Football and basketball I find especially tedious.
I used to watch NBA basketball in the era of Larry Bird but tuned out when it became mostly slam-dunks and trash-talking. I always liked the three-pointers and hook shots but those don’t seem to happen as much anymore. I hate slam-dunking.
Both live or die on white money.
The NBA and MLB have the advantage of a large stage with international players while the NFL is almost entirely made of of American citizens.
Never liked basketball. I’ll stick with hockey. Each to his own....
Sorry, but a failing NFL does not make professional basketball any more interesting.
Random observations.
1) Both leagues have a significant proportion of felons.
2) The refereeing in the NBA seems much closer to professional wrestling than any other sport, however, the NFL is catching up.
3) Any league that considers “bullets” a bad word is not going to receive any of my money unless it is from tax dollars.
4) The NBA seems less diverse than the NFL.
5) Both leagues produce too many unmarried mothers. It seems like to me that smoking pot should cause less league penalties than having a child out of wedlock.
LOL. An even BIGGER group of thugs.
I think the winner in the NFL implosion is likely to be Major League Baseball.
The NBA is WORSE by a factor of 10 than the NFL!
The NBA is nothing more than a bunch of tatted up gang banging thugs who do nothing more than drive the lane looking for a foul.
There's no skill or finesse in the NBA like there was during the Jordan, Johnson, Byrd, Dr. J, Dominique Wilkins, Kobe Bryant, etc.. era's.
The NBA is dead to me and has been for many years. I don't watch anymore.
The NBA is absolutely junk basketball at its finest. Why anyone would pay to view the junk is a mystery to me.
I wouldn’t watch the NBA with your eyes! Most boring stuff on earth.
Could not care less about either league.
