WHY IS THE NFL MORE POPULAR THAN THE NBA?

[Edub]

It's not....nba is global, just cac American media pumps it each year as though it is.

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

can't compare to this either

No doubt. If that was supposed to irk me then mission unaccomplished. We got KD. Be safe and enjoy the season. I wanna talk to you in June

I love the NBA but theres nothing in sports like football Sunday. Who tailgates and has game parties for regular season NBA games?

Most of the good TNT matchups don't end until past 12:00am EST on Thursdays. A nikka gotta work

Every game means much more in the NFL. Key divisional W/Ls can make or break you when it comes to Playoffs time.

 

[TMNT4000]

nba fantasy harder because of all the games. NFL cakes on compressing most of their games into the same day

I DUNO, IVE NEVER PLAYED NFL FANTASY, BUT NBA FANTASY IS PRETTY EASY, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE INDIVIDUALS ARE MORE RECOGNIZABLE

I didn't know the NBA had a fantasy league

 

[SchoolboyC]

WHEN U COME BACK FROM WORK AND THERES NO SPORTS TO WATCH, SHIITS WEAK. I RATHER HAVE MORE GAMES THAN LESS GAMES, THAT WAY AT LEAST I GOT OPTIONS. I STARTED FOLLOWING THE RAMS AND IT SUX THAT THERES ONLY 1 GAME A WEEK IMO.

Sure, but for others, one game a week and on a Sunday at that is a lot more convenient than 3-4 games a week with most, if not all being on weeknights

16 > 82

this. if the nba only played 16 games in the regualr season and the playoffs were one game elimination then without a doubt the nba would be the greatest sports in the world

I'm surprised you'd say this since you certainly haven't seen it watching the lakers.

TRIANGLE OFFENSE IS THE ULTIMATE TEAM GAME

 

[BelowTheMasonDixon]

Shorter season. One and done playoff series.

 

[Sccit]

it's still a new sport.
remember Boxing was a top 2 sport in america until it killed itself with PPV.
Basketball has never been number 2 in america. they used to broadcast the finals on tape delay up into the 80s
face the NBA ain't as big as ya'll think

MMA WILL NEVER BE A TOP 3 SPORT

NBA IS COMIN FOR THE NFL'S THROAT

 

[Sccit]

All of the answers stated, plus because of the popularity of college and high school football. I'm sure some people do watch high school BB, but high school FB is HUGE so you essentially get to see some of these guys grow up from being little kids into the NFL. There's like a cumulative effect that no other sport has

BASKETBALL IS MORE ENTERTAINING ON EVERY LEVEL, AND COLLEGE BASKETBALL HAS A MUCH SHORTER SEASON THAN THE NBA .. SO THAT DOESNT MAKE SENSE EITHER

breh give your all caps button a rest

Plus in the hood/school, you can play football with somebodies shoe(I've done it) or just a water-filled coke bottle.

delonte played with a sock and a wire hangaaaaa

 

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

It's a better product......that's how it makes sense.

It's also not as individualized as the NBE.

if the NFL was 82 games, and no fantasy and betting, it would be MLS status..

there product is awful

+ NBA is seen as a black league .

 

[Sccit]

I'm sorry because of 82, I really can't get into the league until the All star break. Maybe January. Even when the Mavs were winning 50 a year in the 2000s, I didn't really get into it until mid February. Football will always reign supreme. It also helps that college football is way more popular than college basketball. Nobody cares about college basketball until March whereas college football gets your attention starting in the first week in September.

SO EVEN BY THAT ESTIMATION, HIGH PROFILE NBA GAMES LATE IN THE SEASON SHOULD AT LEAST BE RATED AS HIGH AS ANY FOOTBALL GAME .. AND NBA PLAYOFFS SHOULD BE KILLING EVERYTHING, BUT ITS NOT

 

[Sccit]

It also means i can miss the Tuesday Jazz versus Hornets because I know there will be 10 more games on random channels the next night...

SO THIS DOESNT EXPLAIN WHY NATIONALLY TELEVISED GAMES LIKE WARRIORS VS CAVS DO WORSE NUMBERS THAN DUMBASS GAMES LIKE MARLINS VS BENGALS
