When Lebron hit that three at the buzzer the other night in game two, the NBA all of a sudden got interesting again. He is not the second coming of Michael Jordan yet, but dammit if he isn't on the right track. Because anybody who was alive in 90's knows about Jordan in the playoffs. And while I Lebron still has 6 Championships to win for him to be in the same sentence with Mike, I still think he is a really exciting player to watch and as far as I am concerned, the finals should be the Cavs vs. the Lakers. Cleveland has got a tough hill to climb being down 3-1 to Orlando and I don't see the series getting to a game 7 unless Orlando just goes cold. Orlando is playing pretty lights out right now. They built up a ton of momentum after the Boston series and it has carried over to the Cleveland series. The series could be over if it were not for the before mentioned 3-ball from the King and it really should be.
As for the Lakers, they will take care of business despite the loss that evened the series at two games a piece. Kobe will come out and win game 5 and the whole team will take care of game 6 while Kobe gets a triple-double. In a perfect world and what I am sure Commish David Stern is wishing for is what I have already mentioned, Cavs vs. Lakers in the finals and it going 7 games. It would be a huge boost to the league to have two of its top guns battle it out for the trophy, but everybody knows that. And seriously, do you want to watch the Nuggets and the Magic in the finals? Nothing against Dwight Howard or Carmello Anthony and there respective teams. They are great players and have great teammates and support staff, but we are talking about a business called the NBA and Kobe and Lebron put asses in the seats, whether it be at the arena or the couch or the barstool. It would be a huge Money maker just like last year when it was Boston vs Lakers. Anyway, I have enjoyed the NBA again for the first time in years so that has been nice.
