A few major issues

Lebron is not streaky from mid-range he was in the top 5 in contested FG% inside the arc and outside the paint, so that's just wrong.

If the Cavs aren't as good, how come they've played better all season? The Cav's had a better winning percentage against the West too, so don't give me any weak conference stuff. Plus a better average margin of victory and way better 4th quarter numbers.

The Lakers have more talent and a better coach, but they do not have Lebron and he is on another level now.

The 1990's Bulls never had the best team, but they had MJ and thus they never lost once he reached that level.

The Salary cap prevents you from having great "teams" like the Lakers, Pistons and Celtics of the 1980's, you need the best player more often then not.

Off course something strange could happen, heck I thought the Lakers were shoe-ins last season against the Celtics, but Kobe no showed and his team mates couldn't pick up the slack, The Cavs of '09 are way better then the Celts of '08, so what makes you think the Lakers can beat them?

Here's some evidence to support my theory

Years Best Player in NBA Titles for his team
2003-2007 Tim Duncan 3 of 5 ('06 likely fixed by officials)
2000-2002 Shaquille O'Neal 3 of 3
1999 Season Lockout Spurs win title w\Duncan& Admiral
1996-1998 Michael Jordan 3 of 3
1994-1995 Hakeem Olajuwon 2 of 2
1991-1993 Michael Jordan 3 of 3
1989-1990 Transitional Period Bad Boy Pistons win back-to-back
1980-1988 Magic and Bird 8 of 9 (Dr.J and 76ers win in '83)


Odds are in my favor is all I am saying

If you're posting in the music forums make sure to be thoughtful and expressive, if you're posting in the lounge ask yourself "is this something that adds to the conversation?" It's important to remember that a lot of people use each thread. You're probably not as funny or clever as you think, I know I'm not.
