Yours is a commonly held opinion and i think it makes for interesting talk show chatter but i think ultimately a previously irrelevant franchise can become a household name if they get a chance to tell their story. A few decades ago imo it was more about magic, larry, and michael than it was about the lakers, celtics, and bulls.

So bring on a houston, gs, cleveland, and atl final four... I'm still watching

Well who do you think its about now? It's no different, its about Lebron...and the cavs. Harden/Howard.....and the rockets. Whoever.............and the hawks. It's definitely about Curry......and the Warriors.

This is a player driven league. Moreso individual players over a group of players. It's never going to change. And it certainly won't ever be about the "franchise"....unless you are talking about franchises with history, and histories that include banners.

I am, too.

But ... you can bet your arse that the league is not excited about a (hypothetical) Rockets/Hawks NBA finals.

You'd have Harden and ??? ... Dwight the Bitch? ...

Horford is great ... but, how many "casual" NBA fans can recognize anyone on ATL's roster?

The NBA is praying for a Golden State / Cleveland ... Curry/LeBron showdown.

And ... don't get me wrong ... I will watch either way.

The league wants LA/Boston/NY to be good ... or at least two out of three ... and they want Superstars in the Finals.
