Problem is, the rest of the teams that they are playing don't. It's 10x more boring than college ball... a much more entertaining, flowing, team-oriented product. |

Plus, it might even help with recruiting for all the local teams. And best of all, it gives us something that St Loser doesn't have... |

![]() I don't know what to tell you. It's obviously an argument of personal preference. I've laid out many times why I think the NBA wouldn't work in KC as well as hockey, but the bottom line is that I believe that when you combine the regular season and playoffs, the type of people who play, and the type of fans hockey brings, you get a MUCH better product with the NHL. Add to that it outsells NBA, and that's where I get my decision. I'm sure if there was an NBA team near me, I'd go to one or two games a year, and enjoy myself due to the spectacle... But I don't think the NBA has nearly s many DIE HARD fans as the NHL does. |

The main thing I think would hurt the NBA here is people would only show up for the "big" draws like a Kobe, Lebron, pick a KU star game etc.

Still, I don't necessarily think that means the NBA wouldn't work in KC... |
