Well the NBA's sponsors, stock holders, fan base, owners, and Adam Silver all clearly agreed that the 2020 / 2021 season will now focus more on basketball than political agendas. I believe it will still take time to regain the fanbase they enjoyed prior to this last season's 'show'.

OKC? Cleveland?

As for last year, as soon as LA got Anthony Davis it was pretty much over for anyone else.

Cleveland possibly, but they still 4 million in metro area size so I'm not sure you could consider them a small market. You could possibly say San Antonio, but they have run off the map in chances. I mean not even Portland in a similar size to San Antonio with the richest owner could compete since the 90's.

The bucks have a legit shot this year.
I just wish the Blazers could get out of the West as the last time they did they ran into Jordan with a injured Drexler to guard him. That was the Finals right before the Dream Team where the injury even effected Clyde in the Olympics.

While you are 100% correct, the original poster liked to compare viewership in the bubble to previous seasons. Ratings were down in the bubble. I wonder why- pandemic, fear of losing jobs, being able to feed families, etc.
Rather than recognize these issues, Eagle was of the viewpoint it was because of the players' and league's social justice initiatives. If he wants to use apple to oranges comparisons to support his viewpoints then I understand why others want to do the same for theirs.

Never wanted the NBA to fail, just wanted them to get back to playing and focusing on 'the game' and real competition. Since the start of this season, they did just that, and it's paying off in a big way as compared to the disastrous bubble show they put on mid 2020 which drove viewership away in droves. Lesson learned. Glad to have the real NBA back, as is the case with millions of other real NBA fans.
