The NBA is a sham and its fans are saps

The NBA is a fake league.
The regular season is a sham, the playoffs are a sham.
Two legitimate teams + 28 Washington Generals does not make a league and certainly does not make a sport.
'Professional basketball' is a bigger joke than professional wrestling.
Huge LOL @ everyone foolish enough to spend a single dollar or minute on the pathetic charade the NBA has become.

You came in too hot with this post and it's too late at night. Try again on Tuesday around lunch but only include the first part in the OP and build on to it with the rest of the stuff.

NBA is a huge joke
They sold out to appeal to the lowest common denominator in society, the uneducated and those who make less than 30k a year
Playoffs are too long. Over half the league gets in, that's stupid
Marketed with stupid gimmicks like Lil Jon and grammatically incorrect ghetto language shirts like "We the North" and other stupid nicknames like Clutch City and Rip City, no other pro sports league does that shite
All the NBA focuses on are the individuals instead of the teams. Should just make it a 1 on 1 or 2 on 2 or 3 on 3 league at most
And lastly the playoffs are scripted. I called the rigged 2016 finals in 2014, 2 years before it happened. Said in 2014 Heat lose, LBJ goes back to Cavs, he loses in 2015 but wins it all in 2016. It was Sterns final act. 2017 is Silvers first year at the typewriter. If I never got an admin warning I would keep making script threads

Most sports leagues in the world and most university sports have only a few legitimate contenders. The league is top heavy now but it isn't like that has never been the case.

called kawhi getting injured
called durant leving for GS
such a script for life to be easy for lebron coming back to cleveland. i mean who knew love would be traded for and irving would be this good?
I'd say things like the NBA draft are rigged AF though.

What better way to cement LeBron's legend and add another gear to his hype train than to have the Heat in a 3-1 hole heading to San Antonio? The table is set for the LeBron to "rescue" the Heat in Game 5 after back to back beatings at home and then carry the Heat in Game 6 and Game 7. What better narrative/storyline than for LeBron to save the Heat from a 3-1 hole and carry them to a Game 7 win? That would multiply the LeBron hype and legend x1000, way more than it would if the Heat won in 4 games or won last night. Think of the ratings and offseason talk that would generate. Which is why I think this was the plan all along.

By the numbers NBA peaked in the 90's.
They kept extending the playoffs riding that Jordan wave but the wave fizzled out.
The problem with the NBA - contrary to the NFL - is that it built its brand and model not on the sport itself...NBA almost never ever ever markets the sport of basketball...
It built its brand on stardom.
You watch that Magic and Bird documentary...and the NBC guys admit...they only sold Magic and Bird because they were instant stars...and every game they broadcast..was some team vs. Celtics, some team vs. Lakers and that was the Sunday double-header...EVERY WEEKEND.
NBA needs transcendent players to make a buck and that's a poor business model...relying on Jordan and Kobe and LeBron.

Been a whole lot of parity in the league for awhile, especially with Lebron changing teams twice.

Bill Schonely, Portlands legendary radio guy started reffering to the blazers as Rip City which started the whole moniker. he's white. very very white.
