    This is absolutely the case.

    I really think most Americans don't understand exactly how insular a phenomenon the NFL is. From what I can

    People everywhere will always support the hometown teams or teams that represent their country, there will always be fans regardless. Even if the scales

    1st Kansas City is not a big market team. 2nd they just happen to have a very good HC and QB. It's not that KC is in the SB a lot lately, it's the fact

    Then why is every NFL game played internationally sold out well in advance of the game? https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/...ahawks-germany

    And yet the Chiefs are in the Super Bowl every year while the (defending) NBA champ hasn't made it out of even the 2nd round since 2019.

    If you think that Tom Brady is known by most people outside USA, you will be surprised. I'd say even his wife is more famous than him in Europe.

    It may hurt things domestically to some extent, but the NBA doesn't really mind that too much because they are, at the end of it all, a business that

    I think that the fact that the NBA is popular on a more global aspect hurts it domestically for the fan that is invested in their team. Most international

    I think global fanbases also need to be kept in mind.

    Apologies to Americans, but absolutely nobody outside of the USA cares about the NFL

    It doesn’t need to be as popular as the NFL or whatever. The NBA is the NBA. It is not the NFL. Every sport has its pros and cons. All have issues

    As I am fully behind having more parity and mechanism to protect the smaller market, it will be always harder for NBA to reach parity.

    It does not make a difference how much talent the NBA has. The way it's set up it will never even sniff the popularity of the NFL . In fact I just saw

    I would say the NBA is in a fantastic spot right now. Not because of the choices made or the flaws as you rightly pointed out. There is a ridiculous amount

    Yup , and that's exactly why the NBA will never be close to being #1 , heck they are only just above MLB. The NFL got it right. They have the franchise

    So conventional wisdom says that this team is "built to run." However, I noticed a trend:

    Our "good" games:
    Indiana (29th in pace)
    Charlotte (28th in pace)
    Memphis (27th in pace)
    LA[1] (1st in pace)

    Our "bad" games:
