July 9, 2010. Lebron James was announcing to the world that the "Three Kings (LBJ with D Wade and Bosh)" came down to Miami to win championships.

ERIC REID: We know you guys are going to enjoy the sun and the fun and all the spoils of South Florida. But we also know you Three Kings came down here to win championships, not one. Championships.

LEBRON JAMES: Not two.

ERIC REID: Tell us about that.

LEBRON JAMES: Not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven. Hey, and when I say that when I say that, I really believe it. I'm not just up here blowing smoke at none of these fans, because that's not what I'm about. I'm about business. And we believe we can win multiple championships.

OKC Thunder is Boston Celtics' Biggest Hope to Enter the Finals

comments powered by disqus

here's the script: stern's 1st option is miami and spurs in the finals. that match-up can create the highest possible ratings given the present factors and teams. old school vs the young. teamwork vs individual performances, the highlights etc. it gives more drama compared to old school vs old school (boston and spurs) or both the young teams (okc and heat). also, the market is wider. from the old audience to the younger ones.

see for yourself how the referees are calling fouls and other violations that create opportunities for free throws and possessions.

but if the okc can win over spurs, then stern has no choice but to instruct the refs to make some adjustments in favor of the Cs to achieve the same drama, effect and ratings. just different characters and teams.

of course, it's a different story if a certain team has an overpowering skills to win the series. it's like the pacman knock-outing opponents. but if it's the judges' call, then there's the rub.

by the time that okc bags the west, analyze how the tide and calls eventually favor boston. more than the game, it is tv ratings.

now that Boston Celtics is plague with injuries and age concerns, not to discount their heart and resilience, okc thunder is their biggest hope to enter the finals.
