Saw this somewhere...
The NBA set all-time records for attendance and sellouts this season:
• 872 sellouts—the most ever
• 22,536,341 total fans—the most ever
• 18,322 average attendance—the highest ever
Everyone likes to dump on the NBA, but they are doing something right.
second most profitable pro sport. Amazing, frankly given that it is one step above the WWE.
My guess is that the playoffs will be solid this year. But we all know that this is when the players really put out. Regular season viewing is just because there's nothing better on at the time.

I no longer enjoy the product…but obvious that doesn’t impact anything.
Took my boys to a Knicks game probably 8 years ago. Probably last game I'll pay for.
Had a vendor take me to a Rockets - Warriors playoff game. Likely last game I'll attend in person.
May watch some playoffs this year…if Knicks can get past first round.
And he could wind up being the best ever. Very enjoyable to watch. Too bad the rest of San Antonio sucks.

It’s a different game. To each his own.
