How does it feel Kobe that the NFL draft draws more than double the viewers than the nba finals?

The NBA jumped the shark with “The Decision”.

The health of the league is also built around repetition and lack of competing sports in the spring and summer.

Nobody gives a shit about baseball but the model
Works for them and they get rich.

The numbers show live sports down but the NFL down the least as expected. The NBA down a lot

The draft has always been yuge

Right up till @pawz gets Mom to sign that listing agreement. Then, reality hits right about when those enhanced unemployment benefits run out.

Too much jumping around of star players. Players used to be associated with specific teams. Like which team will Lebron be associated with? Heat, Cavs and now the Lakers. Also the super team fad has played a part.
