So that's revenue that includes everything then-tickets sales, tv, merchandise? And does that factor in the fact that (looking only at MLB vs. NBA, NFL is clearly at the head of the class) that the NBA season is half as long as MLB's?
Most people do say MLB is more popular though when polled, though I think NBA is growing at a faster rate internationally (not sure on that though)
Either way, been a season ticket holder of the Wizards for over 15 years. Love the NBA, in spite of some its flaws. And yeah I like to watch the superstars play, what's wrong with that? Realize that a handful of teams have won it all the past several years (Lakers, Celtics, Spurs, Pistons) but is that so different from Patriots, Steelers, Cowboys, Broncos? And I think there are plenty of teams with a legit chance to win it all each year.
