    NBA finally getting some parity?

    Or just a downyear?

    The nba traditionally has all the expected teams winning. This playoffs has been a pleasant surprise. I'm hoping this is the future.

    Imagine that. Legalized betting spreading to more and more states and now the nba has parity. The most corrupt league that pushed legalized betting is now getting the outcomes that most benefit the books.

    The years of the big stars being pushed by the league to win are gone. Now they realized that small markets like Milwaukee, Phoenix and Atlanta must win championships instead of always the big markets. Do you realize that all 4 teams are from Blue States this year? This never happens.

    Injuries were tough this year. Lebron called this one right. He said the injury situation would be much worse if the nba started back up quicker than usual and he was right.

    It happens. It's good though for the league. They need to expand to different markets. It's all a part of the process.

    The only thing keeping the league quasi relevant in the Midwest is Giannis

    Had he left Milwaukee the NBA was done.

    It'll be interesting where ARod moves the Wolves to

    This. Injuries created the parity. This is still a superstar league and the teams with the most healthy stars will always win.

    It's pretty evident that a lot of these young players are not committed to the weight room.

    Irving is definitely committed. To the city council meetings that is.

    To the flat earth society.

    Look at him, Durant and Harden. Those guys look like they never, ever seen a bench press.
