sons any lockout shortened season "championship" deserves an asterisk and is not as prestigious as a full season championship would be. however at least with this past season only about 20% of the games were missed compared to back in 1999 whenever more than 40% of the games were missed. both deserve the asterisk and are nothing to brag home about, but 1999 was by far the biggest joke of a "championship" than anything in American, professional sports history.

OKC has a championship? Last I recall they weren't even in the city when they won it.

[Clipper Nation]

Sorry, crybabies, but the only championships that deserve asterisks are ones that the team cheated to win or the refs rigged, tbh.... when everybody plays the same schedule, whoever wins it all still earned it fair and square...

The regular season doesn't mean to anyone but suckers like you who have nothing else. The shorten season only means you play scrub teams like New Orleans less, otherwise there was no shortcut for when it matters, the playoffs.

tbh you could argue every championship could be accorded an asterisk

1999 - first post-Jordan Finals
2000 - Duncan was hurt
2001 - no argument here
2002 - Game 6 of the WCF
2003 - Dirk was hurt in the WCF
2004 - Malone was injured in the Finals
2005 - no argument here
2006 - Manu made a stupid foul, Wade got to the line almost every other possession
2007 - Mavs choked against the Ws, Horry hip-checked Nash
2008/2009/2010/2011 - Manu was injured
2009 - LeBron's supporting cast melted
2010 - LeBron couldn't wait to go to South Beach
2011 - Mavs got an easy road to the Finals after Manu broke his arm, plus LeBron choked
2012 - Game 6 of the WCF... gee.

These things are dust in the wind. Every season/post season is marred by injuries and even the seeding would be severely altered in many cases were it not for key injuries during the regular season.

I look at championships as set in stone, you won or you did not. We can debate why you won, but your win is as good as any other.
