| See you have to win 4 to claim the series and a 2-1 lead means nada, not that I care who wins. First one to four, series goes 6 at least unless the Lakers emplode (like Kobe's out of a groove game 3 :haha:) |

| Regardless of who wins, they will be refered to as World Champions. What kind of is that? They only play in Canada and The States. How does this in any way justify the title "World Champs"? |

Because the greatest players from around the world seek to play in the NBA. |

But do they play around the world? In order to be a world champion in anything, you must compete against a fair amount of teams representating the entire world. It doesn't count if the organization you play in has people from all different parts of the world. In many people's eye's you can consider America to be that.
Black and white, you need to play the teams which represent the countries from different parts of the world. The NBA doesn't, they are not world champions. |

And why? Cause of the money, that's why.
If it's in USA doesn't mean it's the best in the world |

In other words, no league can pay the athletes the amount of money that the NBA pays them, and by the way Yugoslavia (a 3rd world country mind you) has won more world basketball championships than any other country in the world |

The Olympic Team that stomped the rest of the world are world champs because they went through the steps to get there. The Lakers or whoever wins this year did not and are not.
Just because you smoke crack with them best of them doesn't mean that if you smoke more crack than them in one sitting that you're the world champ at it. |
