    Oh I forgot the Pacers were in ECF in 2004. Of coUrse they were. They were one seed, best record in league, that year.

    Does Miami really get ratings anyway? They're not the Lakers. No one cares about LeBron. Cavs/Spurs 07 was like the lowest rated Finals ever.

    Kevin Pritchard just GM'd a team to the ECF. Signing Hibbert to that contract and keeping Lance Stephenson on the roster as a 3rd-year 2nd-round pick were ingenious moves.

    Kevin Pritchard is the best GM in the history of organized sports.

    People care about LeBron now. He wasn't as big of a star in 2007. I most likely will miss a bunch of Pacer vs. Grizz/Spurs games, but I'll be sure to make time for the LeBrons versus either of those teams. Although an Indiana/Memphis Finals would validate the small-town approach.

    Yep. Paul Allen blew it when he humiliated KP by sending him to the 2nd deck to watch games.

    Paul Allen's vindictiveness means the Blazers' karma will never change until he sells the team.

    That's a fact?

    Miami and San Antonio aren't huge cities. And Indiana is a whole STATE. LeBron was a HUGE star in 2007. The guy was a huge star in high school, had all the hype, #1 draft pick, instant All Star. He was a huge star. People care much less about him today. He's not on the average man's radar like Kobe and Shaq and Jordan were. He doesn't really do any commercials. He's not in a major market. I don't think America gives a damn about the Heat. None of the four possible combinations will make for a high rated Finals.

    San Antonio is a big city actually, I take that back. Miami, not so much.

    What the hell did i just read? I get that your trolling the playoffs but Lebron is hands down the biggest star in the post season (kobe didn't really play so he is counted out).

    There's too many gimmick trolling accounts on this forum.

    He is MVP. He is the best player in the world. But people don't care about him on a national scale unless they're basketball fans. He doesn't begin to bring in even half the ratings Jordan did.

    People say that small markets can't get big time freee agents but that is exactly what MIAMI did. Heck, more people live in Colorado Springs than Miami.

    They hang around you so of course they know about LeBron. You're always sucking his dick. His name is NOT as big as Kobe's or Jordan's.
