Don't presume to know us.

Most of us put the NFL, MLB, NHL (not me), NASCAR (not me), all college sports (including lacross), all high school sports, and even some middle school sports above the NBA for watchability.

Jurassic never said the NBA is rigged, although I can see how you would read that into what he said. The point with the NBE moniker is that the NBA is more interested in the entertainment aspect than the sport aspect. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, it just makes the "game" more unwatchable for many of us.

And your long dissertation on how the NBA is better than the NFL is not going to change that.

Calling it "long" struck me as litotes.

I still think hyperbole is a better word here for calling it a "dissertation", I didn't say the post wasn't short.
