We all agree that the NBA season is too long. The regular season starts in October, the playoffs drag on for two months and the offseason is a season unto itself.
Malcolm Gladwell analogizes that the NBA season is like low-fat yogurt. It doesn’t taste great, there’s too much of it and there are other strains of yogurt that taste better.
Instead, Gladwell proposes an NBA season that resembles whole-milk yogurt — a couple games a week, each one feeling like a major event. I can attest: whole-milk yogurt tastes delicious. I’m excited to wake up and eat whole-fat yogurt.
