The top 6 teams in the West and 3 of the top 6 teams in the east are not historically “big market” teams, and as a fan its been incredible having good games almost every night. Can the media and NBA take the NFL approach and talk about more than LA, GS, and Boston?
Also worth noting, a lot of these top teams are using home grown talent. Many “super teams” are getting burned for bad trades.
ESPN, feel free to take this.
in fact big markets are starting to have a harder time because they cant look towards the long term. they have to trade for Harden in 2023
