“And I search but never find / hurt but never cry / I work and forever try / but I’m cursed so never mind”
1. Cleveland, Toronto, Minnesota, and every other small market team lacking a super star has a chance.
To be fair, Toronto has no chance of being relevant anytime soon unless Jordan 2.0 is in this draft class.
2. Lebron James is going to have to work harder.
Lebron is seen as, amongst other things, an underachiever. He drives and shoots 3, that’s the extent of his game. To be fair, that certainly has worked for him in the past, but if he wants a ring like he says he does, he’s going to have to add either a post game or a more consistent midrange jumper. Kareem might be willing to give lessons. Maybe this is his talent cap and he’s going to end up as one of the Chris Webbers of the world, a person who had a fantastic career, retired as a top 100 all time player, made a lot of money playing a game he loved, but could have been much more.
3. Centers still matter.
Had the heat won this would have been the weakest set of big men to win a title in many years.
4. Kidd gets a ring.
The first time a player gets bounced from the NBA finals I have no pity, the second time it happens I want nothing more than for them to win. Jason Kidd has gotten bounced twice.
5. The redemption of Shawn Marion.
Marion was considered a “has been” in NBA circles, a player who took his money went from city to city and was an NBA vagabond. Now he’s a championship winner
