Although i am a big basketball fan i agree, the problem i feel lies in the media's perception of a good player and the amount of attention focused on that one "good" Player. LIke take for instance football this year Peyton Manning and Steve mcnair tied or the MVP, but everyone feels that they got there because of a team whereas in basketball there is a notion that great players are the ones who win championships, but that really isn't the case if you look back at the last dynasty's in basketball in the last 15 years you will see teams that had th marquee player, but around him where teams that were exellent. In basketball now though considering how short contracts are and how many times players are traded it is much harder to develop rivalries and matchups that draws a fans interest.
