    Possibly, but people complained about calls back in Jordan's day and the ratings declined before the Donaghy arrest.

    And in addition the Spurs are in the middle time zone in the country and make for reasonable game scheduling. (TNT's second or first game)

    My hypothesis was sound. Not trying to be funny. 29 million people watched Jordan play in 1998. Kobe's never even had 20 million people watch him play in an NBA Finals game. It doesn't matter how good Kobe's stats and hardware are, he's not the draw that Jordan was. And that was my point. Sure, Duncan and Kobe have won titles but the TV viewing public doesn't care. Stern and the NBA have yet to find a guy who can replace what Jordan did for the league.

    I've made a clean argument and all you can say is "*edited*"
