breh, if you offered me 50k to name 10 current baseball players without using google i don't think i'd be able to do it
i dont know how they pay their bums. i see that the average league salary was 4 mil so i figured the bums didnt make much
Adam Silver admits the nba will never have nfl like parity

that's because players don't make much at all when they start. Free agency for many doesn't happen til they're 28-29 years old. Your salary once you reach arbitration is left up to a judge unless you sign a team friendly deal early that pushes your free agency back

If enough teams use a well timed hot streak to win titles, then there is parity. The main way to winning is to ready your team to have their hot streak in the playoffs. Good coaches do this.
You left off the part about the teams being average and benefitting from stupid rules. When you are a good or great team it isnt a hot streak its just you doing you.

The rules aren't stupid. they're popular and generate millions of dollars, that's why they exist. A team that wins in the postseason isn't average. All teams that succeed is just them doing them.
Nobody is gonna stop watching the NFL because 8-8 and 9-7 teams no longer get playoff spots and homefield just because the rest of their grouping is shyt.
If it was just them doing them then they wouldnt have been. 500 or just barely over it during a larger and thusly more indicative sample.

Fans of eliminated teams will stop watching.
The regular season is not more indicative, nor is it a sample comparable to the playoffs. It's just the qualifying round, nikkas don't take it too seriously. Average teams fail to make the playoffs or get bounced in the 1st round. Above average teams go deep.
Really? Is that why the ratings go up in the playoffs when most of the teams have been eliminated? Beyond that, you got other teams with better or comparable records being eliminated while those average teams are gifted with playoff spots/homefield and ratings don't drop. So please let's stop with the excuses and boogey men.
Consistently winning 12 games out of 16 every year is more indicative than winning 8 or 9 every year and lucking into a deep run or championship. Only in the NBA is the distinction that you suggested accurate. Average squads have a greater chance of pulling off upsets when you gift them with homefield and/or it's single game elimination or when you have to score once or twice to win or when you have a different pitcher ever game and/or there is greater variance in performance. You gotta show and prove in the NBA over 7 games and Steph or Bron or KD is out there for every game taking as many shots as they need/want and you gotta score consistently throughout the course of the game. In short, the best team always wins in basketball. A lot people prefer the manufactured excitement and faux parity to this (unless their squad/the right squad is winning of course because we never heard this whining about parity when the Lakers and Bulls were running shyt). To each their own

You can't compare the Conf Championship games and SuperBowl to the end of the regular season. Of course everyone will watch the end of the playoffs. But at the end of the reg season, people will tune out if their team is gone.
It isn't luck, it's skill. If you have a deep run, that means you are good. LOL at you calling teams lucky. You'd never say that to their faces.
A deep run is more indicative than going 12-4. Many 12-4 teams were exposed in January.
Nah b, it's accurate for the other sports too, they just have fewer time to cook, so it's more of a pressure cooker, which fans love. The pressure in the gridiron playoffs is off the charts. It's 1 and done. No room for error. So it's dramatic as fukk. The NBA has best of 7s because they can, their players won't be mangled because of it. Gridiron does not have that luxury, so they do 1anddones. It doesn't mean the loser has an excuse. They have no excuse, if they can't get the job done in the 1anddone, they are inferior.Only in the NBA is the distinction that you suggested accurate.

I said playoffs. Nice try trying to limit it to the Championship Games and SB though.
Keep thinking people are watching the NFL because of team loyalty and not fantasy, gambling, and the fact that it's the NFL.
If you go on a deep run yet you have a record that wouldn't get you in the playoffs and/or wouldn't get you HFA if you were in any other grouping then yeah...you got lucky.
And plenty of teams that make deep runs get exposed by missing the playoffs the next year. Like I said, to each his own. Fans only cry about parity when their team/the right team ain't running shyt.
That's also because there is WAY less scoring in baseball and hockey than in basketball.
You score one lucky goal, hit one home run at the right time, you can win a game even if you were outplayed. In hockey there's only 2-5 goals most games. In baseball, no more than 15 runs usually and often just 1-4.
But in basketball, both teams are making 40 shots a game. One lucky shot doesn't mean anything. Over the course of the game, the team that plays better will almost always win. But hockey/baseball have a lot more randomness. That's why the best basketball teams ever won 85-90% of their games, while the best hockey/baseball teams only won 70-75%.
In the NFL, it's damn near impossible for Atlanta to beat Green Bay. Y'all overrate parity. The NFL is QB supremacyReally?

The Warriors getting there was surprising?. The NBA is the most predicatable of all the sports either you like it or you don't. Chances are it was just as "lame" when you started watching.
Yep just like the 90s bulls and the celtics/lakers in the 80s.
