Lebrons retarded for leaving Heat...they went to finals 4 years in a row :dead:
More like Miami's dumb for letting him leave. They've been there 4 times in a row? LeBron's about to go to his 6th :lolbron:
So who was really responsible for that success in south beach? :jbhmm:
Don't get it twisted, Miami needs LeBron more than LeBron needs Miami:ufdup:

I mean did yall really expect any different results?

More superstars more people watching the game, casual fans ain't gonna talk about richard jefferson on the nets.

That's why stern fukked up a few series in the 00s he badly needed those ratings to replicate bulls. If kings did not get robbed in 2002 they would have produced the all time low ratings, that 02 season was garbage, especially the eastern conference.

And if it wasnt for spurs international appeal they would have been robbed at least in one series as well.

.

The Kings shot 20 more free throws than the league leading Lakers when the series was over. The Kings committed 5 intentional fouls which lead to 10 extra free throws in Game 6. Game 6, 5 and 2 were horribly officiated.

Stern probably didn't want another 15-1 run by Lakers. He wanted to make it seem competitive. After Game 1, the Lakers were on their way to another 15-1 run. The refs stretched the series and Kings choked on their home floor in Game 7. In actuality, the Lakers were almost robbed.

SO basically you are telling me that david stern fixed the 02 conference finals by letting kings shoot more free throws to keep a competitive series but got so much into it that he gave away 3 wins to the kings in 5 games already and he had to save the lakers with that game 6. Holly shyt now it makes perfect sense!

And if kings were really good they should have won that game 7 I agree, I think every series should have this rule. If your team is leading 3-2 in the series you basically have to give away game 6 and then you have to play game 7. Basically you are not allowed to win game 6 if you have 3 wins already in the series. Now that would be awesome. And they could edit this rule later like not allowing teams to win 4 playoff games in a row, if you do this you have to play 4 more games. That way no team would be able to see the 16-0 playoffs record and it would keep the series competitive.

The greatest story never told, david stern robbed the lakers in 2002 :mindblown: this could be like a huge conspiracy theory, and that cp3 trade veto has something to do with this, nba wanted to destroy the los angeles lakers :leon:

Well it's just my theory. Game 2 gave the Kings confidence and momentum while robbing the Lakers of theirs. Game 3 and 4 were fair to both sides then the fukkery of Games 5 and 6 and then what Stern and the NBA wanted, Game 7. The owners were the reason why the Lakers didn't get CP3. Stern bowed down to whining owners like Dan Gilbert and Mark Cuban.:pacspit:
