Can't enjoy? No, not at all. But reality is what it is. Read Cameron Stauth's book THE GOLDEN BOYS sometimes. He goes into much more detail about the decline of the NBA's popularity in the 70s. He even shows that durung the 60s, when the Boston Celtics were winning Championship after Championship, they rarely sold out Boston Garden. The all-white Boston Bruins hockey team was far and away more popular among the city residents.
I still don't get it but okay. Maybe I have to be a basketball fan.
