NBA = Smart. MLB = Stupid. It is that simple. When it comes to Web 2.0 and when it comes to fan interaction, the NBA is succeeding, where baseball is flailing about.

When i go to NBA.com, I am looking at a clean, user friendly website. Not only that, but if I wanted too, I can pull any player’s “card” and share it on my website…even better, NBA.com lets me grab their scoreboard and embed it anywhere I want….

To me, the NBA is doing it right. 100%. Their site is clean, readable, and you find something new each visit. On the other hand, mlb.com is losing it’s luster. Although they do have RSS feeds, they don’t offer much fan content outside of that. In fact, the more run-ins I have with mlb.com, the more I don’t want to use it. For images, scores, fantasy, news and anything related to baseball, i go to Yahoo. Why? Because it is cleaner to look at, easier to find what you are looking for and you don’t have to pay for all the extra bells and whistles.

Let’s face it, mlb.com is dying and I see no daylight in sight……
