Anything that has best of 7 games cannot be the best. NFL at least has way more riding on each individual game which makes it a lot more intense and I say that as an NBA guy.
A 7 game series provides more drama because you’re able to see the ebb and flow of the battle.

It’s true that 1 game has a lot riding on it. But it’s also highly susceptible to flukes.

As big as the Super Bowl is, you could name a bunch of playoff series in MLB or the NBA that were far more entertaining and memorable than most Super Bowls of the last 30 years.

It's been the best because every pitch and at bat becomes incredibly tense and suspenseful that when one crack shows, the floodgates open. You can feel players and teams crack under the pressure as it builds up throughout a game. Each decision is amplified and results don't always go as expected.

Hockey playoffs are the most intense. The game turns the fukk up and you are getting hit on almost every play that you touch the puck. Guys are flying all over the ice and at any moment the puck can slip past the goalie.

I’d say baseball playoffs for the drama - outcomes of the game change quick depending on who’s pitching, how they’re doing that night and if your team brought their bats out. Jays were down 3-1 last night till that Springer homer and that completely shifted the games momentum back into their favour.

NBA playoffs and NFL playoffs are probably the most predictable. Not as intense or tension as MLB and NHL

I only watch baseball during the postseason. That's really a testament to the energy and tension the games have
Got me out here watching random ass teams like the Brewers and Mariners where I can't name a single player but with the atmosphere it's impossible to not be invested
For me it's comparable to something like the world cup almost

Baseball is the most intense. You know what is happening and exactly what the team needs so it's easy to understand and follow. Also no clock. Anyone can still win it. The last 3 outs are always hype.

Hockey tends to go to game 7 A LOT. There's less commercials. But I don't really watch hockey.

NFL is exciting but the blowouts are tough to stay entertained. Last year's Superbowl was the worst and there wasn't really a chance at a comeback.

Basketball is basketball. Extra commercials, longer commercials, games drag. Refs get involved. You can tune in to the last 5 mins and not miss much except for highlight plays. The best team almost always wins so no upset or Cinderella story.
