Exactly the opposite. The post I responded to asked if the desire for players to be able to blend in and not be noticed was and NHL phenomenon. So I think we are actually in agreement. In the NBA, the star players want to be in the most high profile markets. With few exceptions, they want to have a high profile and will go out of their way to make that happen.
