NBA is also way more top heavy than other leagues. Losing a single player can turn your whole season into a write-off in an instant.
I was a huge NBA fan in the late 90s and early 2000s, but it's been a distant 3rd behind NHL and NFL for me for a long time. Worst thing is load management. A 82 game season is one thing, but if you regularly sit star players on top of that, it really becomes a drag.
