Sucker born every minute. Lakers get to make a ton of money without having to figure out a way to put together a contender.

Have the Knicks ever had trouble selling tickets?

You will never hear me defend the Knickerbockers or the Knickerbocker fan base.

I was just saying it's the same phenomenon as the Lakers. Makes me wonder how much success the NBA could retain if they completely gave up the pretense of competition and turned into the Harlem Globe Trotters(and there was no actual competitive league to compete with them). WWE seems to be doing all right. People would still go to games. I imagine it would decline until it stabilizes at a certain(still surprisingly high) popularity level, right? Marketing would have to change but I think it would do alright.

It's a once in a life time event.

Last time it happened was 1984.

Sports is entertainment and breaking Kareem's record are accomplishments NBA players and fans value.


It's just grown men throwing a basketball into a basket.

How are the Lakers making a ton of money off of this? Aren't all the tickets just being resold? I would assume the game(s) have been sold out for a while.

O don't know for sure either way but generally if the price goes up its the team raising the price.
