Who here would HONESTLY watch a Lebron vs Kobe Finals?

[ginobili's bald spot]

WTF……I didn’t watch the fake finals last year… not even a single ing game… not even a stupid commercial, cause I knew that was a marketing little joke… too many ty situations involved… fixed trades, scheduling, ing zebras calling games per Sterns directions, zebras helping the stupid Celtics not to get out in the first round….. simply disgusting…

Then you have to ing watch all the nuts sucking … freaking choker Garnet acting like in a Mexican telenovela…. that crap ….

This year???? if the cavs and lakers get to the finals,…. no… I’m not wasting a minute nor a cent on a Stern’s wet dream, made up final…. Specially with those two teams…. They don’t even have real fans, just bandwagon puberts dreaming to be a rapist…. …

Spurs suck and aren't gonna leave the first round. That must mean everything is rigged! Quick SOMEBODY CALL THE

Why is it that in 2007 when a ref that's currently in jail actually gets investigated for how he called game 3 of the Spurs Suns series any Suns fan who calls the series rigged is re ed in the eyes of a Spurs fan (I don't think it was "rigged" but that's beside the point), yet some of those Spurs fans are now calling these playoffs rigged? That seems rather hypocritical considering a Suns fan can make a lot stronger of a case in 2007 than a Spurs fan can now.

Imagine TNT covered the NBA Finals? It would be awesome possum. Craig Sager would come out with some real ridiculous suits then.

if the Rockets make it to the Finals they could switch them from ABC to TNT

Na TD you'd have to order satellite to watch the finals

[Bob Lanier]

huh? what the are you talking about?

Cleveland is a small market that has historically not drawn very good ratings. See, for instance, the 2007 NBA Finals, in which the Cavs provided the lowest Nielsen ratings ever. San Antonio is a low draw, but Detroit and New Jersey managed to provide more of an audience than did Cleveland.

Now, you can say that this is because the Cavs were not very good in 2007, but this would tend to shade against your (apparent) contention that LeBron James is the main show.

Add to that the Cavaliers' extremely slow-paced, defense-oriented style of play and James's own aesthetically rather unpleasing (though effective) game, and this is not a team fans love to watch.

I don't get why any real basketball fan wouldn't watch a Kobe-LeBron Finals.
Why wouldn't you want to watch the two best players in the game going head to head?

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I don't get why a real NBA fan wouldn't watch the finals period.

[mytespurs]

If only Lakers fans across the world watched the finals, it would be enough to have higher ratings than the Spurs or Hornets could draw.

Nobody watches when the Spurs play in the championship game anyway so what does it matter.......

Something Laker fans are very familiar with............

I don't get why someone would be an NBA fan if they really think it's all scripted. That makes you doubly dumb.

Seriously, if you think it's scripted and continue to watch it you're no better than a WWE Wresting fan.

we all know what happened the last time Lebron Lucked himself into the finals...the ratings got anally raped

That's completely true, but the ratings would have been even worse if it was Detroit vs. San Antonio.

[sook]

Yea I know, can't imagine that

[Bukefal]

I would, just for the basketball I would, I love basketball. And cavs are my second fav team behind the spurs. but as i said, i would watch it solely for the love of the game.

[Bob Lanier]

I don't get why any real basketball fan wouldn't watch a Kobe-LeBron Finals.

Is a one-on-one Finals an option?

[Brazil]

Why not ?
Two great teams two great players if you like BB and NBA you watch this game.

[The TroutBum]

I'd rather cut out my left ball with a dull, rusty spoon than waste one second watching those two butt s go at it.

[Jacob1983]

What would be so bad about a Kobe-Lebron Finals? It would be pretty entertaining. Youl would get to see the 2 best players in the NBA play against each other for the championship.

[lefty]

Entertaining?

Lakers will destroy Cleveland

I've watched every Finals since 85; the NBA playoffs are almost always incredible.

if only they earned the right to be there in the first place, not some bs nba propoganda referee bs fixin games to get them there to promote the game, what the nba wants, what the nba gets....

[KSeal]

They won't get there because they are clearly the two best teams in their conferences, no way can that happen.

[Jacob1983]

I wouldn't mind watching just Kobe and Lebron play one on one for the championship. They could play a game of 21 and whoever gets to 21 first wins the championship.
