Many of those who live in NBA cities/states (MM, WI, IL, OK, TX, LA) think the same of the NBA as they do the NFL, and that's that it's getting harder to love. Don't get me wrong, they attend the games, they have a good time, but they are clear that the NBA isn't "what it used to be."

The product is different. That's the only way it "ain't what it used to be."

If you give me a good reason why the NBA is currently worse than it was 20 years ago, you'll be the first
