3 days rest in the NBA finals was a little too much

You do realize that the mlb season is shorter than the nba season
Splitting hairs.
Regular season: MLB is longer by about 2 weeks.
Post season: NBA is longer. MLB just feels longer because its boring as frick.
ETA to the Is Flacco elite discussion: He has one more SB ring than Dan Marino. But then again, so does Ryan Perrilloux.

EVERYDAY since October we have had to hear about it...too long of a season and too long of a post season.
Meh, this is a pretty myopic viewpoint.
NFL -- and to a lesser degree, college football -- dominates the headlines from August to New Year, especially in the South. The NBA does do a great job of monopolizing late spring and early summer with its postseason, but viewership doesn't take off until after Christmas.

Baseball is boring af.
Baseball was my favorite sport to watch and play growing up, but sometime around 10 years ago I just lost interest completely.
It's almost sad because my fondest memories of being a kid was taking batting practice with my brother and grandfather.

Not me. The end of the NBA season is pretty much the beginning of the sports offseason for me. Luckily it's an Olympics year. Between that and golf I'll be ok till September.

Same here.
I was absolutely obsessed with baseball as a kid. Until junior high, I only played baseball and didn't even entertain the notion of participating in any other sport. The MLB All Star Game was like Christmas for me, and I'd tape the game and rewatch it incessantly. I watched Mark McGwire break Maris's record and thought it was equivalent to the moon landings.
Somewhere around the turn of the century I just completely lost interest for no apparent reason. Once I got to elementary school I began to understand football a little better in terms of the schematics, and I started playing football in junior high and everything changed for good after that.
I've said this before, but baseball today is such a bastardized version of what it used to be. The current players have gone way too far with the unwritten rules stuff, and the pace of play is unbelievably slower than it was 20 years ago. Also, the onset of shortened attention spans doesn't bode well for a 162 game schedule where the best team in baseball might lose 60 games.
