Funny thing happened on the way to David Stern’s PERFECT NBA finals…. again…

In a perfect world, after all the hype, the Lakers and Cavs would be playing in a hotly contested finals game 7 with ratings through the roof!

Magic and Bird changed the basketball landscape in the early 80′s with their finals match ups. Before that, you couldn’t even watch the finals live in most markets. I should know, I watched the Laker’s win their first championship in the 80′s tape delayed on CBS after “Sports Central” which came on after the 11 o’clock news….

As far as the other side of Kobe vs LaBron – who’s the better player – we’re not entering this hornets nest yet, except to say that at the end off the season, who’s got the rings?

Kobe built a team around him. LeBron – he surrounded himself with some great players on Dwayne Wade’s team in Miami. We have our thoughts, please comment and share below.

Now for your viewing pleasure here are some Kobe & LaBron images:
