Obviously it played a role. The women's game has greater roster stability. Add that to the fact that NIL deals can trump WNBA salaries pretty easily, it encourages the best players to play 4 years.
It is strange. I would usually root against Lakers and Warriors but they’re kind of fun underdogs this year.
My Silver Lining is watching one of the most exciting young Blazer player in years get a chance to show his potential.
I care but I’m starting to get into the NHL (A real man’s sport were they don’t do the load management BS) a little more and less of the NBA this season. Golf is a sport that I can always watch.
I’m watching my home state Iowa Hawkeyes play South Carolina in the women’s final four and it’s some of the best women’s basketball I’ve ever seen Iowa has a hell of a team
I haven't cared in at least 7 years. If it ain't Portland I'd never watch. Worst of the 4 sports and that includes my hatred for the NFL. It's unwatchable.
For most of my life I’ve been a fan of NBA & College basketball. Even when my teams are struggling or nit playing I still watch. My kids all played and and my grandkids play. I played until late 40’s Milwaukie Elks adult league. I do care about the NBA.
