The bulk of the talent is being concentrated on a few elite teams.

The majority of teams in the league stand no chance of competing whatsoever.

Drama queens falling down all over the place

Oh, and Dirk is gay

Since 1980 8 teams have won the NBA title, this is not exactly new.

By contrast, baseball, the sport with no cap, 8 teams have won the WS since 2000.

it's more the nature of the sport of basketball and not the NBA. Lebron, Bosh, and Wade would make up 60% of a team's starting 5.

Every team has a salary cap to work under. There is no "yankees" or "red sox" with unlimited money and no cap.

baseball's rosters are 25 deep. 3 all star players won't make you a good team over night like in basketball

The salary cap is not the reason for this. The NFL has a cap, and has the most competitive balance out of the top three sports.

Do some research, the NBA has always been top-heavy. Oh and Dirk is a bad-arse.

Football is a team sport. Basketball is almost a completely star player sport. (Save the last Pistons team to win the Championship)

And Dirk has a major case of the ghay!
