Parity gives every team hope. In the NFL parity is good, but the nfl is not a league of super stars. So its better if every team has hope. It's not dependent upon a few super stars, example: super bowl ratings stay around the same every year, it doesn't depend on what teams make it...football fans are football fans and will watch regardless. But in the NBA, the super stars are who everyone follows. With no super teams, their arent many super star teams in the nba that everyone will follow (ex: jordan and pippen, kobe and shaq). The most popular super stars today (kobe, lebron, wade) are on average teams. This is the problem with today's NBA.....Think back to when the nba was good in around 95. There was pippen and jordan, shaq and penny, kemp and payton, stockton and malone....those were tandems and teams that people took interest in. We don't have that today. .....this is what is killing the nba. agreed?

What kills the NBA is players like Ron Artest.And i agree with you nobody follows players that are good but not popular.That what happened in the all star ,players like nowitzki didnt get votes to start but players like shaq who played little games got the statring job.

What are you talking about? each league has perennial winners and losers. look on the red Wings and Stars contained in the NHL. look on the Colts contained in the NFL. The NBA has more suitable parity. look on the Lakers. They sucked 4 years in the past, yet now they are stunning. same with the Celtics, Magic and Cavaliers. each team contained in the NBA has had their day contained in the previous 10 years. (no longer jointly with Charlotte) Even the Clippers made the playoffs about 3 years again.

The NBA is full of overated players and underrated players. How about Steve Nash being the most overated player in the history of the sport and Jason Kidd being underated.

really isn't parity in the nba, not sure who told you that......I assume you're not a sports fan!
what's killing the nba is the image, although they do not have as many arrests as NFL players...they are still thought of a thug league....(even though the NFL has more players the percentage of players arrested in NFL is higher than NBA)
