If I were on Wall Street, I would have bet on the Miami Heat to win the championship at the beginning of the season, why? Because when the NBA and David Stern allow three overly paid players like Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, and Lebron James to play on one team, with their salaries, they HAVE to win, not because they should earn the win.
I didn't watch the finals this year, because I already knew that Miami was going to win it all, and not because I am a Miami Heat fan, but because the Spurs have old players that know the fundamentals, and play to win, which is in direct contrast to the way David Stern runs the league.
You could call the Miami Heat the Yankees of the NBA. Pay as much money as you can to players that have the name, not the game, and then call Stern with the news that the finals HAVE to go to game 7, or you won't be able to pay the players.
The NBA, MLB, NFL, and NHL are all a bunch of crooks. Too much money in a recovering economy to a bunch of players, GAME players, not really considered a job, with kickbacks going to referees who are never investigated for fraud, or gambling. When was the last time a referee was kicked out a professional league for taking bribes and kickbacks?
I like the Facebook post that asks the question, "Why does a person who carries or pushes a ball around a field, make more money than a person defending the country"? and the answer is that none of our professional players have the balls to do what our military does.
Is a player's worth on the field or on the court worth more to our citizens than the said player beating the life out of a woman? This argument goes back to the old, antiquated reason why American Military's didn't allow women in combat, because of the theory that a woman's life was more valuable than a man's, and that a woman was not able to handle the rigors of combat, which we have found out to be a falsehood for 15 years of war. We as a society have placed these game playing people on such a high pedestal that they actually believe that they are above the laws of the land. Bobby Brown and Chris Brown have found out differently with convictions and time served.
These players need to get smacked down, a real humility check that will leave a lasting impression, and then sent a place where they learn how to be a man, since its obvious their father's failed them in that aspect.
