Seriously. Why would you want any competition? I know the NBA isn't the NFL, but come on.

Is there any overlap of NBA and NHL fans?

Don't know, but the finals is when the casual fan is most likely to turn in.

Yeah...hockey fans shouldn't be mocking any other sports.

Because Bettman is an idiot. He is the worst thing for hockey. He hates hockey fans.

During intermission in the Wings/Pens game last night I switched over to Lakers/Magic. It was so boring I switched back to the intermission report (which is terribly boring). I even used to be a Lakers fan, but I couldn't make it through five minutes of the game.

That was probably the worst NBA finals crowd I can remember.

I'll say this: hockey probably has the "least wrong" with the actual sport itself.
Baseball is tough to even watch with the economic and payroll disparity between the franchises. Football is tough to stomach considering the average lifespan of an NFL players is about 20 years shorter than an average person - I'm not sure exactly when or if this will ever be addressed. I guess basketball doesn't have a whole lot of inherent problems that make it unwatchable.

I used to love watching basketball - and I probably still would if I had a team I cared about. I think having a lot of scoring can be good and bad. Some will say basketball is exciting because of so much scoring - I say that makes it boring, until the last 2 minutes of a close game.
