I don't know Wonderful, fans all over say they want Parity but are usually uninterested if a team outside the big party gets in it.

Football got lucky that its championship is the spectacle it is, maybe the answer for the other leagues is to not focus on drawing all the ratings to the championship, and making the rest of the season more interesting in giving the rest of the league a chance and making the playoffs more than some extra games for fans to watch while their team gets steamrolled by whatever the superstar team of the moment is.
And speaking of getting steamrolled, Indiana sure is taking it right now. Ugh.
I guess the reports of Wade's demise were greatly exagerated.
I'm bummed Indiana came so close only to lose, but Spurs/Heat was definitely the most interesting possible combination. Hopefully the original Big 3 who actually came and grew together organically can win one more title.

As long as you consider tanking an entire season organic. There is one season in the last 25 that kind of stands out. http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/SAS/

Whatever you do, do your best to not allow the struggles of life to interfere with the pleasures of living.
In the 2013 playoffs - 25% shooting from 3 point land and 10 fewer points per game (compared to previous playoffs and the regular season) sounds pretty bad to me. Game 7 last night may change the perception slightly, but only if the Heat win the whole thing.
People might cut him some slack if he'd just reveal what is wrong with his knee or how bad it is. It's not like it's some big secret at this point that will gain him some sort of competitive advantage.
The idea of a team growing "organically" is somewhat laughable. The Celtics got Larry Bird by drafting him the year before he came out of college. Kareem forced his way out of Milwaukee. Shaq forced his way out of Orlando. The list goes on and on.

You're right, but I guess the idea of LeBron/D-Wade/Bosh getting together and making a pact or whatever to play together just bugs me.
Masai Ujiri was officially introduced as Toronto's new GM yesterday, really interested in seeing what he does to turn them into a potential contender.
