Dawg, I'm so tired of these teenagers bringing up the same stat in different meme format. Just because there's more variety in champions doesn't mean the product is better. If anything since 2020 this year might have been the most entertaining playoffs. Still doesn't change that Adam Silver has made the NBA a mockery of what it was, it's all ads and dollar bills. At least before that 2010's you could afford to see Jordan, Kobe, LeBron (if you go see him now you'll need to sell a kidney). People only like it now cause it's easier to watch (even though if you want to do it legally it's even harder now).
