Hard Knocks is good because it showcases a bunch of dudes who may not even make the team so you get to see the grind of training camp. Then you watch those dudes go through the preseason and succeed/struggle. And add in the injuries and nikkas getting cut, and that shyt is gold.

You can't do that in the NBA because you pretty much know the rosters and everybody role long before the season starts. shyt would be dumb.

More importantly-the NFL is a ratings GIANT- nothing comes close-
The NBA has respectable ratings but not the degree where anyone thinks they can capitalize off it
with an "insider" show
The NHL and MLB have had "insider" shows in recent years. The NHL has one every year I think

They should feature something like this but for D-Leaguers. They have more compelling stories.

Besides the content teams post on their site the NBA couldn't pull off a Hard Knocks

What they SHOULD do is some Midnight Madness-style practice open to the public like that Dunks After Dark shyt Minny did last year
