And that's exactly the same kind of complaint damientheomen3 is making about Kobe Bryant, with very similar results.

The making of Michael Jordan the big star was the driving force behind NBA's popularity not just in the US, but around the world. The whole world tuned in to watch the Bulls.

Same for Kobe Bryant. He has the top selling jersey not just in the US but also in China.

What turns you and damientheomen3 off is exactly what works for NBA. It's understandable, but NBA surely won't miss you guys.
