The one thing thats killing the nba is all of the hype that players get, even mediocre ones. When someone like allen houston is being paid a ton of money a year for being at best, a mediocre shooting guard, you know the league is in trouble. The hype and inflated salaries leads to the inflated egos of almost every NBA player, which distances them from the fans. Detroit winning last year is probably the best thing that could have happened for the league, as everyone could relate to and appreciate the work ethic on a team like that, with no "superstars."
