The NBA is kicking the NFL's butt right now

I can' t compare it to the NHL because I don't understand their rules but if someone could just explain traveling in the NBA I'd appreciate it, I know it used to be a step and a half but now they can catch a pass, take 3 steps to gather themselves, then change their pivot foot twice (is there still a pivot foot?), then shuffle their feet before they dribble on the way to the basket. If Dr J could play now, that would be something to see.

that all started with MJ. Once he was the star then the traveling rule pretty much got ignored. How many times did you see him take like 3-4 steps before a big jam?

What was going on with MJ doesn't even compare with what they get away with now.

Not even close. The NFL made a huge mistake pushing the draft back two weeks. With the the whole Donald Sterling story and the Nba Playoffs being so great with 5 first rd series going to game 7's this weekend it has totally killed any hype or buzz leading into the NFL Draft on Thursday.

I'm a diehard NFL Draft guy and I haven't been this disinterested in the draft since the 80's when I was a kid. I bet this will be the lowest rated least watched Draft in some time.

This was one of the highest rated and most watched drafts in quite some time.

Football will always rule...........as long as they still let them tackle.

You can't even compare the two . Nfl draft gets far more ratings than NBA playoffs . MLS soccer league has even already surpassed NBA in attendence ratings .

The total number in attendance for MLS is 6 million. The total number in attendance in the NBA is over 17 million. Yes the NBA has more games, 3x as many, but you can't honestly believe that MLS soccer could maintain their attendance per game if they tripled the availability of games.

they average more fans thats what i am saying. In 10 years soccer will be the nations 3rd most popular sport . Wont be surprised if its sooner. Soccer cannot be played for 82 games its to vigorous of a sport.

yea, soccer couldn't be played 82 games, but you can't compare average attendance when one league plays 82 games with 30 teams and another plays 34 games with 19 teams and come to the conclusion that one has better attendance than the other.

key word is average.
