It's really not comparable. MLB literally has about twice as many games as the NBA. That pretty effectively balances out any "advantage" baseball has from having more selective playoffs.

Baseball is the kind of thing you turn on the background occasionally, like radio. There's rarely ever anything especially exciting happening because every game is so meaningless, but it's practically always on if you need background noise. Basketball is a sport you can sit down to watch and enjoy.

>NBA post season top

Only if you enjoy 4-1 series, games decided in the 2nd quarter, no emotion from the players, the same four teams making it to the semifinals every year, and a boring as shit, broken sport. There is literally no reason to watch basketball.

The hockey playoffs should be near the top. They're one of the most exciting to watch, even if the sport isn't the most popular. Popularity shouldn't be an argument for quality.

>Intense, close series
>Best teams having to prove themselves from the first series
>Players playing through injuries, putting it all on the line for their teams
>Intense rivalries
>Sudden death overtime, leading to 3OT, 4OT, and even 5OT+

Now what would you rather watch: two teams putting it all on the line, going balls to the wall and leaving nothing in the tank. Or: two benches of negros losing their shit over routine plays, while only one or two players do all the work and can and do successfully carry a team to the championship every day.

Despite Lelbron and spurdoras the NBA playoffs is the GOAT, the final two minutes in a game 7 with both teams within 2 points of each other is the best post season sporting event by far
>>
>>64442834

>le final two minutes
You mean the last "2" minutes that last half an hour because fouling is advantageous to the team that commits the foul, and each team gets 5 timeouts because it's hard to explain more than 3 seconds of planned plays to basketball niggers. The most exciting time of the game shouldn't be listening to the announcers talk about literally nothing and hearing the piped in generic Top 40s music from the stadium playing in the background. The NFL and MLB struggle with this too. NHL playoffs have almost constant action, with play restarting within like a minute whenever it has to stop. Also the last-ditch goalie pull in the last minute is more exciting than le last 2 minutes

Divegrass is literally the GOAT because every single game--every minute--of the entire season counts. A goal scored in August can make a difference in May. Divegrass is literally always on "playoff mode".
Meanwhile, luckswing and flophoop players are on exhibition/friendly-mode until about half way into the season. It's offensively passionless until the actual season starts aka the playoffs.

They should just call the NBA season now and start the playoffs with the top 4 teams. There's absolutely zero chance for any other team to possibly compete because the league has no parity whatsoever (both Golden State and Cleveland have 3+ players who would be the best player on 15+ other teams.)
