Yep. The people who like the NBA like the fact that it's a superstar sport, and they like the fact that a few teams are head and shoulders above the others.

Of course, those are also some of the biggest reasons the NBA takes a back seat to the NFL and MLB in terms of popularity. While the NBA will get along just fine and retain the support of its current fan base, it will not grow its popularity significantly.

In the end, more sports fans prefer a league with some parity, where team concepts are important, and where anything can happen any given season. This Heat situation ensures the league will perpetuate the superstar-driven landscape.

My gut says the NBA is more popular than the MLB, how to prove it I don't know.

Revenue, that's how you measure it. Ticket sales, merchandise sales, concession sales, and TV revenue.

It is not, MLB crushes it.
