The real question is, could the NBA strong-arm the IOC into putting basketball into the Winter Olympics?

The NBA finals TV audience is 3 times the size of the audience of the NHL finals. But you think the NBA should delay its entire season by two months to accommodate the NHL, rather than the other way around.

The NBA has been tossing around a later start and finish for a while now to get into a less crowded part of the sports calendar. Because even if the NBA makes a lot of money, they always will take more.

Some fans have been tossing it around. But it's asinine. TV viewership in July and August is far lower than in other months. TV doesn't want the NBA finals or anyone else's finals then.

Either it's just a dumb idea from people who naively think TV viewership is the same all year round, or it's people with a hidden agenda who don't like the NBA and want them to hold their playoffs when the TV ratings would be lowest.
