I fully expected LeBron to come out of halftime having dyed his beard completely grey. He still might "aggravate his ankle injury" too. MJ never went out like this.

He just asked out and then sat on his ass wedge thing while Chris Paul, who is older than he is, put the game away.

At least Milwaukee has Giannis, so the league won’t fix the ECF against the Sixers again.

First time in a decade that the NBA Finals won't include either Lebron James or Kyle Lowry :peace:

A lot of compelling stars/storylines left. A non-Lebron Finals isn't a bad a thing for the league moving forward.

Agreed. A finals with Giannis and Donovan would be pretty dope.

lol yeah sure for us we love the game the casual goober doesn't give a shit they are barreling towards all time low ratings coming off an all time low final and that's all the NBA office and the networks care about...I'm telling you they are freaking the fuck out....I'm sure there were people saying a non Jordan finals would be great for the league too.

Didn’t the Knicks come right after Jordan and then LAL went on a run and the NBA was totally fine

The NBA didn't reach Jordan numbers until the Cavs v Warriors years. Look I know its part of internet(ing) to take the contrary opinion on everything but I really didn't expect pushback that the league would be concerned after averaging 4 million views in the the bubble finals that anything other a Lakers v Nets final would be viewed by them as a disaster but I'm sure that if they knew you guys were still excited they'd calm down.

I forgot about the Nets. They’ll probably be there in the finals.

I think your point goes to show that Bron is worth a lot more than whatever salary he is being paid by his current team at any given time.
