    Spurs-Pistons for compe iveness.

    But we all know nobody likes Defense.

    If you are a basketball purist, then there should be only one pretty obvious choice.

    Miami and Dallas was the only series that you really weren't sure what would happen. I'm pretty sure everyone was shocked when Miami won 4 straight

    I almost voted for that series, but 2004 no one was sure what would happen. Who the predicted Detroit would beat the Lakers in 5?

    7 game series. Champions versus Champions. It's Spurs Pistons easily.

    Team bias aside, 2005 was definitely the best. A lot of people forget that the 1st couple of games were actually very compe ive until the 4th quarter (when Manu just went OFF). And of course the last 3 games, especially Game 5, were just awesome.

    Probably 2005, but there haven't really been great Finals series post Jordan. Maybe not all remember, but the first four games of the 2005 NBA Finals were all blowouts by the home team. That series wasn't all that exciting until the second half of game 5 to the end. But, I guess if you look at the series as a whole, the compe iveness of the series probably makes it better than the other choices.

    Yeah I voted for 2005 but it was by no means a finals for the ages. Other than game 5 every game was pretty anti-climactic. It's basically a worlds largest midget contest.

    Most of the Finals series post-Jordan have been horrendous. One sided other than 2005.
