Thats not really true. Most leagues in the world have only top 4 teams fighting it out for championship. Even in NBA, the league as gone down due to different finalists who are not as popular. The money is on popular team and their rivalry.

We have discuss here how expensive and not profitable a regional league in the Philippines.

Not true. Parity in euroleague, parity here in nbl. Parity in NBA..

Check the team records from last season and the previous..

So answer the question then How many teams have been in Final 4 since 2014 and why half of the teams hasn't reached it. Do you know or not

[zairex]

The much better question is what is parity? How frequently should a team be in the semi-finals so we can say a league has parity?

[zairex]

Luka doncic is from the get go is madrid player.. product of their own youth system..

So how is that parity when teams can recruit a player diretly. So no parity in that case because its not a draft.

So now answer my questions if you wish to or I will just move on

Are you being serious?

Lets stick to EuroLeague. How do you gauge if a team has a high chance of making the playoffs? For example, Olympiacos and Real Madrid has been in the final four in the past two year. Is that parity.

Olympiacos

You also say that all teams has high chance of making the playoffs then why is Zalgiris Kaunas hasn't been in final 4 except for 2018 for ten years now or FC Bayern Munich

Team records.. we all know euroleague is one of the toughest league to play with given the parity they have.. the number of teams above .500. not all will experience final four in 10 year span..

here in nbl teams almost all teams has a shot of playoffs last season..

Again in EuroLeague, is it parity when if the top 6 will always be Real Madrid, Barca, and Olympiacos? So why they keep getting top seeds if their is parity. Does the league a top heavy. Repeating to get top 6 should be rare, correct?

[Metta]

Making it about Parity is deflecting the real issue. Disparity is a symptom and not the root problem.

Like I said, even in the most open/free market leagues, there will always be teams like the LA Lakers who will have built in advantages (weather, glamour, business/brand opportunities, competent owners/leaders). A city like Sacramento will never be equal to Los Angeles. Therefore, top marquee players will always prefer LA over teams like Sacramento. While LA can just trade for a player like LBJ and AD and instantly contend, Sacramento has to do it the long and tedious way.

But Kings fans don't hold that against the NBA. Because they know their team is trying and they are content with it. They truly have a chance for becoming champs, but their margin for error is so much more small compared to the Lakers.

And that is the crux of PBA's problem (that results in disparity among other things), do all teams aim to truly win? And how can a league be successful when many teams don't even value success.

Those who want to muddy the issue is making it about Parity because it is such an easy thing to argue.

european fans says it has parity and other fans itself as well.. irregardless of what you’re pushing it about olympiacos and other teams unable to make the final four.. the league itself is balance and has parity..

draft system suppose to address the issue on pba parity but its not the case.. unlike pba before, we can say theirs a parity because we can see team built thru draft..
