This may be unlikely, but assume for a moment Lebron James makes the finals 9 times, but only wins 6 championships. Would you consider Jordan's 6 for 6 superior?

Miami just lucked out in game 6.
Although it was devastating for SAS, they were so close to the title and lost it. Psychologically it is crushing. It is like letting the opponent score on the last minute of extra time in soccer to lead the game to penalties. It is nearly impossible to win the penalty shootout after that. Very hard psychologically.
Heat has every advantage - confidence from last game, psychological advantage, home advantage.
I would say 60- 40 odds for Miami.
That doesnt really explain it though...why is it more logical that the mystical ptb, who are busy pulling the strings in major world affairs, would want to rig it more than the NBA, who has a vested interest in the most marketable team (obviously Miami) winning?

TPTB are occultist/symbolist. they get off on this and when you have the power, you flaunt it especially in the entertainment industry. Sports/entertainment.
Im not saying its so hard to believe. Im asking why it is easier to believe that than it is to believe that the NBA, who would have stood to lose a LOT of money if Miami didnt win, would be more likely the ones pulling the strings.

why is that so hard to believe, they did it in Rome with gladiators which was entertainment.
The thing about basketball is, the team with the best player, more often than not, wins.

I don't know anything about basketball as I am a hockey fan but I can say that in a final series you have a 50% chance of one team or the other winning.
If a product , say Nike or CCM or Bauer , sponsors a team it's not hard to imagine them prepping a product that claims their team is the winner.
I don't see this as being a vulgar display of power by the IlluminatedNSAHAARPMasons.edit on 21-6-2013 by opethPA because: (no reason given)

To chime in:
Yes, a 6-0 Record is more desirable than a 6-3 Record.
