It is a concern because basketball won't be shyt for another five years. The Dubs vs Cavs are going to go past trilogy and into Fast & Furious terriotry. And this will be made even worse because the Cavs will own the Dubs barring injuries.
Adam Silver Says The Golden State/Cleveland Dominance Is 'Not A Concern'

It's not sustainable but luckily for the NBA....LA will be back soon. Boston could become a super team if they draft right (lol). Golden State not going anywhere. LeBron still got a couple more years of dominance. So we're close to a point where the league has a few teams really competing.
But last night really showed why football is king. You can't have a league where just two teams can win.
I hope the NBA restructures the conferences or something.

So why was the NBA at it's lowest when it had it's most parity?
Why is the era when they had 2 teams win 8 of 10 chips considered the golden era that brought them out of the depths of tape delay? Brady and Peyton have been to 11 SBs, winning 7, in the last 16 years and somehow football remains king...how so? But it will be cool as soon as LA gets back right?

Thing is its not even a guarantee for GS even with Durant.. we saw in Game 1 before Kawhi went down that Spurs can still sneak into the finals if the man is healthy
In the East?

Also brotha these kats fail to realize that in basket ball the best players always has the ball and can play 48 minutes.
5 dudes on a team can literally play 48 minutes. It isn't football where a player only plays a 1/3rd of the game. Or in baseball 2 hot pitchers can dominate a game. Or the fact that in a playoff game you can actually win a game 1-0. Or in Hockey where having a hot goalie can get you to the finals.
Or the NFL where injuries and single elimination play a big part in parity.
shyt even in college basketball back in the day it was very little parity (like UCLA and Kentucky's runs).The whole kids leaving after their soph, junior years and one and done created more and more parity the last 30 to 40 years.

Exactly.

I'm from Cleveland and can admit that it's a problem.

This is such lazy bullshyt. Those series were competitive and the games were closer. During those so-called "dominant" eras, all those teams had scares and barely won. Moreover, basketball did not have nearly the audience when it had the most parity because as a whole it had not taken off as much. Tom Brady played the same team in the SB once. Manning played a different team in the SB all 3 times. Manning has a losing playoff record or maybe he's now just over .500. Brady went a decade without winning another SB. Did you really just type this bullshyt with a straight face?So why was the NBA at it's lowest when it had it's most parity?

Not they don't. Some spots have inherent advantages over others.

To add:
unless you're a AFC East or Browns fan, you can go into a season and say to yourself, "man if this goes right, we could be a playoff team and maybe win the division. There's a glimmer of hope that regardless of how your team was, you could have a successful season.
Who this season in the NBA can you say "man, job well done, they had a very good season? Even the loser of Cavs /Dubs is gonna consider their season a failure.
Silver ain't stupid, them ratings gon be
