NFL passed them and then lapped them
Its almost gotten ridiculous. You can't keep a team together for more than 3 years.

well
NBA>>>>>MLB
faster pace, better individual stars for people to follow (don't even have to really follow NBA to know who Lebron, KD, etc..are)

Way more people watch MLB than NBA (in the USA).

The NBA definitely has the least amount of parity among the three major leagues. The talent gap between the true contenders and the worst teams in the NBA is astronomical. There are some truly horrendous NBA teams
This is why I don't buy the argument from people that baseball struggles simply because of lack of parity and because it goes by an irregular schedule as opposed to the NFL and P5 college football. The NBA has an irregular schedule and probably the least amount of parity of the Big 3 sports (sorry hockey fans), the difference is that they do a superb job of marketing their stars nonstop.
People can say what they want about the steroid era, but the sport of baseball was kneecapped by the fact that the MLB allowed their own media to go after their stars. They completely misjudged public perception thinking that they cared deeply about the "integrity of the game"; just look at how fans yawn at NFL PED suspensions, and I'd hazard a guess that NBA fans -- and NBA brass, for that matter -- feel the same way. They should have been marketing guys like Barry Bonds, Roger Clemons and Alex Rodriguez, not waging war against them. They sanctioned the Mitchell Report and then wondered why it backfired on them when the alleged names on the list started leaking out.

That might be true, but

Through five games, Fox's World Series is averaging a low 12.1 million viewers, with lopsided wins by Kansas City and San Francisco. In a first, a rival network (CBS) won the week against five games.
Compared with

Nearly 18 million viewers tuned in to watch the Spurs clinch in Game 5 on Sunday night. That's a 10 percent increase from Game 5 between the same teams last year. Nielsen says viewership peaked at 22.4 million in the last half hour of the Spurs' 104-87 win. The 10.3 national rating on ABC was up from 9.5 last year. The five-game series averaged 15.5 million viewers and a 9.3 rating. That's up from 15.1 million viewers and a 9.1 rating through five games of the 2013 classic series. Nielsen Social says it was the most-tweeted NBA game of the year, with more than 6.4 million tweets. The Spurs won their fifth NBA championship, preventing the Heat from winning three straight titles.

No Rangers, Astros, Braves, Red Sox, Yankees, or Cardinals.

NFL became a national sport in large part because it hold two big advantages over baseball
1) You can easily play fantasy sports with it
2) You can easily gamble on it.
really is that simple imo
yes football would still be huge if it wasn't for fantasy but the stratospheric growth is all fantasy based otherwise it would still be a largely regional game save for a few big teams/players

If the Braves were in it I'd watch every second
