The NFL is great for parity and other than, I think hockey do a good job of controlling the size of player contracts. That is something that will not fly in the modern NBA. Player contracts will keep getting larger and larger because it's so easy to just buy championships through free agency which is what the Heat have done. That is why there have only been 8 different champs in the last 30 years.

The Pacers were built and not bought which hopefully will pay off with an NBA championship in the near future. I am not sure how that will ever change with rich owners buying titles like the Heat. We live in an immediate gratification culture and that plays into it I believe.

I applaud the pride you have in the team the Pacers have built but, the odds aren't exactly in your favor here. Without a level playing field, this is the way things will be. The NFL is the hottest sport in the nation, in part because they've achieved some semblance of parity.

In the system the NBA has in place, the moment one of your "homegrown" stars hits the open market, he's gone to a team that can pay him four to five times what you're team offers. A great example of this is Lebron James.

That is the big problem with players leaving for bigger paydays. Also, the NBA only markets a handful of star players who seem to somehow always make it to the big money series games. I will still root for the Pacers to break the system one day. In the meantime. Go Spurs!

Yea true. It would be quicker that way though unlikely anytime soon with the Heat dominating like the Bulls did for such a long time.

Probably, I think it's going take something dramatic for things to change. And, it will not be good for the league for when it does.
