I used to quite like the NBA but it feels far too personality driven now. I know that's true of most big sports at the moment (not least football) but it increasingly seems like that's almost all the NBA has left to trade on. And it's not just on the court: the last game I saw on tv, the cameraman seemed more interested in seeking out celebrity spectators than following what's actually going on in the game. That's not an attack on the sport itself but the whole way the NBA now markets itself.
