Can people stop with the market size stuff in the NBA

[Stick Up Kid]

It's an ESPN talking point because they only want to go to LA, NYC and Miami.

Brand matters more than the market. NFL understands this but NBA doesn't. Biggest brands in the NFL are arguably the Boys, Packers and Steelers and only one would be considered "big market."

MLB & NHL don’t market their smaller markets

It’s about the Dodgers, Yankees & Red Sox

NFL gets away with anything strictly due to only being 16 games, once a week.. + fantasy & betting

Market size is a much smaller thing than it was say when the spurs were winning.

The Thunder when they had KD and Russ showed that. People have access to watch any team and be fans of whatever team regardless of where they live

Media promoted kd and russ nba has not promoted this version of the thunder. They were the #1 seed last year and didn't get a Christmas game. fukking non playoff teams received marquee games over them.

Blame the media and the nba. Nfl does not do this dumb shyt

I can't speak on the NHL, but with the MLB is dominated by local media markets. And since they don't have a large media rights deal, it makes the smaller market teams alot less valuable. Giving them less incentive to market

markets still matter for TEAMS not PLAYERS

Those are some of the most successful franchises in history so there's a lot of overlap.

Mets don't get love like that.

St Louis has a storied history...but not sure they got pull like the Dodgers, Sox and Yankees, so you got a point
