    Knicks and Bulls are a product of the larger media market.

    People watch Knicks for two reasons:

    1) enjoy watching Porky play 2) Enjoy the Melo trainwreck

    People watch the Bulls because:

    Jeeeezuz...I have no idea why the heck would people want to watch the Bulls LOL.

    Cant even come up with any sadistic reasons.

    Why do people watch the Bulls? It's simple. A little Michael Jordan goes a long, long, long, long, loooooooooooooooooooong, looooooooooong, looooooooooooooong way.

    Maybe it's because there's a lot of people that live in Chicago?

    Wow, I thought the Spurs were a much smaller market than the Rockets??

    I understand every other team on that list, but San Antonio?? That's pretty embarrassing for us.

    That, too, obviously. ;) But MJ's aura does still hang over that team. Especially among people originally from other countries. Golden State and Cleveland jerseys are tops (everyone loves a winner, right?), but the Bulls' jersey still sells, sells.

    A little more embarrassing when you consider it includes the national tv games everyone knew the spurs would be resting players.

    It's true. The bulls bandwogon is still big. Their fans can take over arenas in Milwaukee, Indiana, and Memphis
