Why is San Antonio thought of as small market

[northeast]

Bill, saying your opinion is fact doesn't make it fact.
For example "Whether a team is big/mid/small market is determined by DMA's (Designated Market Areas)" is an opinion.

Let me give you an example of a fact.
Fact: Texas ranks 2nd of the US States by size of population.

By "market" they are talking about the number of TV's.
The more tv's, the more the team makes in their tv deals... the more the team makes... and basically the more wiggle room the team has to go over the cap to pay good players.

It's all about tv's.

Do they count the TVs at all the Best Buy stores?

I guess that makes the Sacramento Kings one of the biggest market teams in the country.

The Kings get more calls in their favor than teams from states with small populations.

The Kings got a huge advantage in the playoffs when they played the Stockton Malone teams.

People forget that the Kings were good like 7-8 years ago. Short attention spans and all that.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to moevillini again.

I have no idea how to respond to this. What exactly did I say that wasn't factual?

Last year during the playoffs, I told a guy who was picking on some 18 year-old kid at my house, the Spurs were a small-market team. He argued they weren't and asked me if I wanted to fight him. It didn't end well for him.

I always wonder why it is that you find yourself in altercations time and time again...

Conventional NBA wisdom you hear people call San Antonio small market. "If the NBA is rigged why would they have San Antonio win", etc. Its like the 7th most populated city in the country. I was shocked to learn this today. (I guessed 9/10 most populated US cities)

Maybe the NBA only counts the people living there legally and since they are so close to the border . . .

That was cute.

I don't know how I missed this gem the first time.
To answer your question, yes they do.
Cities with the most, and the biggest Best Buy's of course are on the top of the list.

I was going to rep you for this comment, until I spotted that rogue apostrophe.

Next time, I guess.
