Photo update as of Friday, March 16, 2018. The NBA Experience is going vertical; steel beams at the east end.
13% of the US population say basketball is their favorite sport to watch. About 150k people visit WDW daily. So, among them, close to 20,000 basketball fans are at WDW daily.
Not so niche.
TIL that populous statistics for the nation correlate directly to WDW visitor-ship.
A few spikes throughout the year, got it. Not to mention, if I were competing or training then I would not be doing extracurriculars such as that.
Using that logic, there should also be a football offering, cheerleading, field and track, baseball and anything else they have there.
Fine.
Could there be a reason why the basketball fans self-select themselves out of going to WDW? Yes.
Is there? I don't know.
So, prefix what I said with, "Statistically, on average, if there are no self-selecting reasons for opting out..."
Happy?
Construction update...

Seems like good timing. The NBA is getting popular again as a few things have changed
1) not as many European players (for awhile everyone was drafting players no one could pronounce who would either came from overseas teams or went to overseas team. The NBA lost a lot of appeal when players names were GSYNKSNIIJNIN PHILLINOIOMOEPA
2) player popularity is coming back (lots of players that people like) its not the 80s-90s with Jordan bird barkley but hardin Durant westbrook curry are very popular)
3) NFLs protests have really turned a lot of people away from the product and a lot of those fans are now more into the nba.
I think this would have been a disaster 5-10 years ago but might be coming at the right time.
Personally I can see me checking it out, walking around and taking pics.. but I doubt id buy any of the overpriced stuff.

Nobody stops advertising when the popularity of their product is slumping and then only resumes it when it somehow picks up steam.
