But that was before the dawn of satellite TV and 600 channels.
The NBA will never return to the ratings of the 80's but rights fees continue to ascend.
Basketball, like baseball, has too many games and too many teams to get the kind of ratings each did back in the 70's and 80's.
Personally, I think the game has improved both in the arena and on TV. Theses guys are just so ****ing big and so ****ing graceful in person. It's like they're a different species of human beings, altogether.
Seriously.
