I have trouble getting into the NBA and find the playoffs way too drawn out.
More so than the NHL considering when the playoffs started? Second round for both leagues are close to being wrapped up.

I think the biggest problem with the NBA is that it is too superstar driven while other sports are more team oriented.
Marketing the stars made the NBA better. They are some of the more recognizable people in the world outside of the soccer players.

I honestly can't tell if you're trolling or just not all there in the head.
A. That link doesn't place a figure on sponsorship revenue. And as you can see by the links provided by 13SaintTiger, 2016 NBA revenue is around $5.5 billion. 2017 NBA revenue is projected around $8 billion. You're not going to find a stat that says NASCAR pulls in more revenue or has more viewers. All the links you need are in this thread - less revenue, less viewership, 9 straight years of falling attendance. But you're convinced that NASCAR is "far more popular" than the NBA?
B. As I have repeated over and over again, I never said NBA is the second most popular sport. If you can quote me saying that, I will permanently ban myself.
ETA: The below conversation is all you have, and I clarified to you that I was laughing about NASCAR > NBA.
mizzou

You're lying again but that's the norm for you. And I'd post the link that states Nascars sponsorship deal but you'll just lie exactly like you've done since you were proven wrong about the NBA. Calling you lying scum isn't an insult it's a fact. You said show me one stat that says nascar is more popular than the NBA and you'd concede I did and you just lied again. Just like you're false re enactment of the first convo about the NBA vs the MLB.

And don't be a coward. Post the stats. I've presented my case - NASCAR has less viewership, less revenue, and nine straight years of declining attendance - now you post yours.
ETA: And I love that you've been calling me a liar for multiple pages now but can't actually specify what I've lied about.

My god you have to be autistic the numbers have been posted multiple times by different ppl and in different areas just so everything was covered for you. Your response was you didn't agree with the poll or the website. Quit lying dude it's pathetic.

The Warriors and Cavs haven't had good series because they are pretty much super teams sweeping through everyone. They are primed for an epic clash in the Finals though.
The rest of the playoff series have been pretty interesting. I think the WCF will be a good series as well. ECF will probably be 5 games tops and that's me being an optimistic Celtics fan thinking we close out Washington and somehow steal 1 from Cleveland. Just hoping the losses are close and not blowouts.

So truly in your heart of hearts think that NASCAR, a widely known struggling sport is more popular than the NBA? No bs, no trolling
Posted on 5/9/17 at 8:13 am to Madking
Post the stats yourself. This is your opportunity to prove that NASCAR is far more popular than NBA.
We both know that's not going to happen.
Also, quote me saying NBA is more popular than MLB.
Thanks, buddy. Slinging around all these accusations without a shred of evidence. You're better than that.

My heart of hearts? I guess that's how some of you ppl judge this stuff but the numbers have been posted several times in this thread that Nascar has more viewership than the NBA. 17 of the top 20 sporting events in the country were Nascar events and it's one of the top 3 sports in the U.S. In terms of popularity. I don't like Nascar at all I watch the NBA even though it sucks but I'm not gonna ignore the facts.

I ALREADY DID YOU STUPID frick!!!!!!!!!!! How fricking retarted are you?
And here's your 3billlion in sponsorship money alone. But I'm sure you'll try to discredit anything that doesn't go with your narrative like always.

Dismissing the Harris poll because it is 2000 respondents is dumb.
Dismissing the Harris poll because it asks what is your favorite sport, not whether you watch/follow a specific sport, is fair.
The NBA is on the rise though, particularly with 18-29 year olds, at least compared to baseball:
So baseball is #2, but it's equal to the NBA among younger viewers and if that trend holds, it will continue to grow nationally as people age.
