Message: [QUOTE="MikeSU02, post: 4575707, member: 60"] Re the Bird/Magic/MJ era, the D played wasn’t nearly as good as it is now and less threes. Also, not nearly the depth of talent as it is now. I wish they could extend the season but the NBA has looked into the calendar before and they eyeballs aren’t there once they push into the summer anymore. And it’s not just the nba. You don’t want to be airing in July. Load management thing is huge and the owners will get something in the new CBA to help offset that and tie some component of pay to games. Silver was a good respite after Stern went overboard, but there is no way these guys would be taking off this much time if Stern was still commish. [/QUOTE]
