One of the biggest problems facing the NBA right now is the fact that the regular season doesn't seem to matter to the audience. Most fans don't begin watching the NBA until the playoffs...missing the entire regular season.

We analyze comments made by LeBron Monday night...and what he is doing at this stage of his career. We compare his mentality to that of Michael Jordan...and provide several examples of NBA players disrespecting the regular season by missing games for rest.
