It raises an interesting question, though: the NBA rating have actually improved this year.
The NBA has always been more of a star-oriented league--people tune in to watch Bird v. Magic, Jordan vs. whoever, Lebron, etc. And the nature of the game is such that season-ending injuries to these stars are less common.
Furthermore, by its nature the NBA is more star and personality oriented compared to the NFL, where you have many more players, offensive vs. defensive, etc.
Is it possible that, as our society becomes ever more celebrity-obsessed, a team game will suffer?
