 PROFILE
The NBA isn't the slam-dunk it used to be. Since the lockout-shortened 1998-99 season and the retirement of superstar Michael Jordan, the National Basketball Association has suffered a drastic drop in attendance and TV ratings, as well as on and off court image problems. Criticisms of the NBA have ranged from boring play to the seemingly endless supply of selfish and oft-arrested players. The 29-team league is divided into Eastern and Western Conferences and includes one Canadian team. The NBA also operates the Women's NBA (WNBA). The league still rakes in millions in merchandising revenue and has two years left on TV contracts with NBC and Turner Sports worth $2.64 billion.
