I love the NBA. The greatest show on earth. With that, I would say that the increase in salary cap in the league started the possibility of getting a 4th all-star on a juggernaut team. Golden State took it a step further by getting guys like West and Boogie Cousins to come and play for peanuts. Also getting their superstars to take a big financial hit to play together. That will end this season but it was a successful strategy.
When has the NBA not been top heavy? Growing up you could figure out who was getting to the finals most years. Chicago, LA, Boston, Detroit, Philadelphia, Houston, Lebron with pretty much any team.
