Why is there so much less drama in NHL free agency compared to that of the NBA?
Because the NHL is a tiny niche sport with a tiny fanbase while the NBA is a word wide phenomenon with billions of fans worldwide.

cuz no one pays attention to it, though panthers signed and resigned good people
Because 1 player can basically carry a team in NBA and that isn't possible in NHL
>>69275360
NHL does not have the cap space NBA does so teams can't do what thw warriors did without taking massive paycuts, that and the biggest free agent in the NHL stuck with his team
ESPN doesn't care about hockey because they have no hockey. That and its a smaller league
>>69275360
The NHL just had a fucking nuts offseason.
But it isn't aired on ESPN
>>69275384
But the NBA only makes 30% more...
>>69275360
> niggers
>>69276079
>baseball
Bullshit lmao
Because one superstar can't carry a team. Most Cup winning GM's are conservative when their team is in/near championship contention.
>>69276079
That's america only

Stay mad Jerome. Twice as much profit as cuckhoop. Meanwhile hockey has higher attendance than basketball lelmao
>>69276183
Hockey has more followers in Canada and Scandinavia than cuckhoop does in the rest of the world
>muh Spain and Lithuania
>>69276112
Baseball is far more popular regionally. Dodgers are bigger than the Lakers. Red Sox bigger than Celtics.
>>69276217
Asians like basketball too
>>69276112
People go to baseball games.
People watch LeBron vs XYZ on TNT
NBA isn't very big. LeBron James is big.
I don't think 10 teams in the NBA have 100% attendance
>>69276241
What have they contributed
>>69276269
Yao ming
>>69276269
LIN
>>69276247
>>69276223
>>69276188
Lmao literally watching a baseball game rn with an empty stadium.
Fucking no one likes baseball anymore it just so many damn games they get higher attendances
Why would anyone buy season tickets for teams other than the Warriors/Cavaliers/Spurs?
>>69276380
It's a weekday dipshit
They still get 20k+ people which is what basketball stadiums fill if the teams are good
Baseball makes more money than apehoop faggot
>>69276380
Why are they so much more profitable?
>>69276573
Apeball makes more money than boreball tho
>Trust fund ice stick
Sorry but that's not a sport
>>69275384
>billions of fans worldwide
>>69275360
NBA is a beauty contest that has so much advertising and features on E!SPN and every other sports show and only beats hockey attendance by a few hundred. lel
>>69276751
In your neighborhood maybe
>>69275360
Because this years NBA ones had franchise players moving around.
>>69276751
Give me one statistic proving that
The NHL's offseason has actually been super batshit so far
>>69277355
It's the most poular sport in America
>>69275360
Everybody knows Michael Jordan, I doubt 1% of the world is capable of naming a single hockey player.
>>69276079
>makes 30% more
Your chart shows popularity in the US, not the revenue of each league. You fucking idiot.
>>69277393
Wayne Gretsky?
Is that one?
>>69275384
This desu
nba is a star driven league which is why you see this whole colluding by players in free agency. more star players = more likely to win a chip. nhl is team driven with competition leveled among the sport
>>69277393
Charlie Sheen was a player for the LA Mighty Ducks, that's why he did that movie about a kid's team with the same name
>>69277390
It isn't. Football is the most popular sport in America and it's not even close. The question is which sport is second: baseball or basketball.
>>69275360
Fuck niggers and apehoop
>>69277537
That's what I meant
apeball=football
Apehoop=basketball
>>69277396
Dumbass, that's right on the money.
3.7B * (100% + 30%) or 1.3 = 4.8B
>>69277393
1% of the white world could
>>69277606
That's before the new TV deal, it's $5.5 billion for the NBA now.
>>69277606
Damn BBVA behind Bundes and barely in front of Serie A? How? Cause Spain economy is shit? I see Barcelona and Real Madrid kits all the time here in the states. Never seen a Serie A and maybe one Bundes jersey
>>69276217
LOL
no
ice fight is fucking irrelevant
Michael Jordan and Lebron James are world famous athletes, anywhere in the world
Literally no one outside of some frozen shithole has ever heard of a single icefight player
NHL superstars almost never hit free agency, and the ones that do are usually washed up.
>>69276573
Because baseball stadiums hold 70k people you numbnut. Selling out 100% capacity at higher ticket prices is better than selling 40% capacity with lower prices and more people
>>69276848
das racisss.
>>69276380
This anti baseball posts always type like they are 12 year olds on twitter
>>69275360
There aren't any hood rats who rose to fame in the NHL.
>>69278947
Name a single ballpark with more than 60k seats.
>>69278947
>baseball stadiums hold 70k people
you wot
