Luka even with his flaws is one of the few ones who can pull in casual fans. The league is in trouble. Then again they have heard those doomsday predictions before but the ratings stay high. Can’t understand it.
It has always been this way.
The league was in trouble, and then Magic and Bird saved it. Then, Jordan. Then, Kobe and Shaq. Then, Lebron, who is still going. Curry...Giannis.
There are plenty of exciting players. Maybe more than there ever have been at one time. If your point is that a lot of teams aren’t worth watching, then I totally agree, but the NBA has always marketed itself on the merits of maybe five guys at a time.
Luka, Zion and *gulp* LaMello Ball are next.
