AMEN to that. I read that and thought the exact same thing.

What happens when you preach style over substance and, more specifically, one team or player over your others, is that you end up with two relatively obscure teams in the NBA finals and your ratings suffer.

I still contend that the practice of pushing Michael Jordan over every other player in the league was the worst move ever by the league. Sure, it pushed them up when he was here but all good things must end and there is inevitably a price to pay for that.

Did you notice how they did those montages about Kidd during half-times? For some reason I thought the NBA was trying to catch up from losing ground; trying to inform the world about Kidd.

I mean, Kidd isn't the kind of guy you will see in a lot commercials doing dunks.
Although Keyon Martin is great, he's not a scorer. So, he hadn't received a lot of air time either. I know a lot of casual fans are saying, "Who are these guys? Where's Kobe and Shaq?"

I know it's making NJ fans feel great, how ABC is treating their stars; red carpet treatment.
