I know that's the narrative about the NBA lately but it's just that - narrative.

It's far from proven that the short-lived "parity" that has emerged in the aftermath of the KD Warriors dynasty is the cause of down ratings.

I do personally dislike it though and find the parity via CBA to be artificial. It just causes continuity on a contender to be untenable.

And continuity is what makes for good basketball, hence why dynasties are so fun to watch. It's not just that they win, a lot. It's that they have a consistent style of play with a consistent cast of players (stars and role players) that fans get to know over the course of those dynastic years.
