The NBA Finals get underway tonight in Miami, where the Mavericks and Heat will face off for what looks to be a long series. I’ve said many times, my go to is definitely not the NBA, but I’m going to end up watching this series start to finish. The NBA was certainly praying for a Lakers vs. Heat finals, but I’m not upset the Mavericks are in the Finals.

I’m going to watch, and here are 5 reasons while I will watch….

(5) …. To See What Cuban Does

I don’t like the guy. Most people don’t. But this is the Finals and you know Cubes is going to be in full-spaz mode. FULL SPAZ. It’ll be worth a look, trust me.

(4) ….To See Jason Kidd’s Last Dance

This is probably the last time we’ll see Jason Kidd on the big stage. I’m going to ignore his personal life crap. Jason Kidd has been one of the greatest guards in the history of the NBA, and he did it without a great jumpshot. He’s obviously older now (like he’s the oldest guard to ever start in the Finals) , but if you appreciate basketball you can watch J. Kidd and appreciate his legacy.

(3)….To be Able to Compare Lebron to Jordan

Anyone who reads this blog knows how I feel about Michael Jordan. You cannot even approach the argument that he is NOT the best player that ever played the game. He IS. Period. I’ll watch the Finals though, to put Lebron under a microscope. I’m a Lebron hater, but I will tell you this. He’s played phenomenally in the playoffs this year. He’s not Jordan though. He’d have to do something awfully amazing in the Finals.

(2)…. To hope Dirk gets a Championship

Dirk is one of the 50 Greatest Players that ever played the game. He’s a good dude, and he will be an ambassador for the game for many years to come. He needs a Championship. At this point, he needs one more than Lebron.

(1)…. And to hope the Heat lose

I’ve been on the lose bandwagon since day 1 and they KEEP winning! I hate the offseason bullsh#t. I think D-Wade turned into the biggest punk. I just don’t need to see Lebron succeed at all. On the Cavaliers, I would have been all about it. Just don’t need to see it. This title means nothing for Lebron’s legacy.
