true but superstars aren't as abundant as the NBA and TV network would like you to believe. Not only that, The NBA can easily make the league more competitive if they reworked the draft process. The owners will never agree to that tho
The draft process is perfect to me. Any team can get at least 1 true star. Get multiple stars and you don't need a superstar like the Pistons did.

5 players on the court instead of 12 on a field..

7 round draft instead of two.

Best of 7 playoffs instead a one game playoff

16 game schedule compared to 82

and higher percentage of injuries and shorter careers

Silly comparison...a larger part of parity than people think is number of games played and 1 game elimination playoff...

Also the NBA is the only league where you get "superstar calls"

The only league where the best players get to play by a different set of rules...

Lebron James has pretty much spent his entire career running over and pushing defenders out the way...

If fukking Nick Batum played like that he would foul it in 6 minutes...
In the NFL people always say Brees, Brady, Rodgers always get "superstar calls"....

Football is more team based. 1 great player can't carry a whole football team like a great player could carry a basketball team. Football is compartmentalized

Pretty much.

Football is very much a team game, with basketball one player can have a much bigger impact. For example, we've seen several times over the years guys like Curry & Durant step up and carry their team to victory when their teammates are struggling.

A guy like Aaron Rodgers isn't really capable of doing that. If his offensive line is having an off night and his receivers are off, he's pretty much S.O.L. While he's individually talented, his success is still dependent on his teammates. He can't just say fukk it and throw for 400 yards if his teammates are shytting the bed like Steph Curry could black out for 40 points.

I think with the rules now so heavily favoring offenses that elite all time great qb(Brady Manning Rodgers) is the closest in impact to the superstar nba player and can guarantee you at least a playoff spot every year but the playoffs are a crapshoot so it doesn't guarantee titles all the time

Why should parity be the NBA's goal? Because the NFL loves to honeydikk fans into thinking their team has a shot every year, just so they can rip them off? fukk parity. I like to watch greatness.

And for the most part the best teams win the NBA Championship. The same can't be said for any other team sport in America.

The NFL is one big clusterfukk guessing game the whole time that hypes most idiot fans into thinking they have a shot when they clearly don't.

actually they do, its not uncommon for a team that wins less then 6 games one year then takes that huge jump next year

the same playoff teams rarely repeat

NBA suffers from the most pussified athletes in professional sports and its easy to see how it got this way...

Instead of telling their superstars to STFU and play the game they contunally appease them by bending the rules everytime the biggest superstars cry like bytches when something doesn't go their way...You got all all these inflated offensive numbers because if you breathe on a nikka named Lebron or Curry they blow the whistle and because these nikkas get special treatment everybody wants to be on their squads...Garbage SOFT league...

Went from watching my man Charles Oakley WWF clotheslining Jordan to Bismack getting called for a foul on a CLEAN block just because the dude he blocked is named LeBron...SCUST

Sad part is the NFL began doing the same thing by babying the goldenboy QBs...All QB stats in the last decade need asterisks because of all these rules changes that have made the game more offensive...Still nowhere near as bytchmade as the NBA though...
