On Thursday the NBA Finals start in Oakland between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors. In the streets they’re callin’ it Cavs/Warriors IV one of the greatest rivalries in NBA Finals history. As a matter of fact, it’s the first time in NBA history that two teams have met in the Ship four years in a row.
Sure, Golden State will more than likely win three out of the four but this isn’t about who wins the title more than it’s about the amount of bread it’s about to make the NBA. Everybody and their baby’s momma is watchin’ this foolishness because of the polarizin’ presence of one LeBron James. Duns either love him or hate him. There is no in-between on this cat bruh.
Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! When ole boy decided to take his talents to South Beach in the summer of 2010 he became the most valuable commodity the NBA has ever seen. Fans, not just Cleveland fans bruh, but duns all over the world hated him for his decision. The followin’ year the NBA playoff ratings were the best they’ve ever been and they’ve grown every year since. Why? Because that Philistine has been in the Finals every year since.
The casual fans that just loves to hate is watchin’ just to see him fall on his face and the diehard LeBron fans are watchin’ to see what he’s goin’ to do next. Whatever catagory you fall in doesn’t matter because you’ll be watchin’ all the same.
Golden State has a team full of rockstars that can shoot that thang from anywhere on the floor and sometimes they launch it from the parkin’ lot or even from the San Francisco Bay. They were already the best team in the NBA with the best regular season record of all-time at 73-9, went out and got Kevin Durant to become even better!!!
So therefore, you’ve got boyz that hate them for that too. Either way, the hate creates revenue that’s ridiculous for the NBA. As much as duns were rootin’ for both Cleveland and Golden State to lose in the Conference Finals NOBODY wanted to see Boston and Houston in the Finals playa. Stop it!! You sound crazy if you did.
Nobody was goin’ to watch that foolishness. Well…let me take that back. The diehard NBA fan would have watched it but they aren’t the ones the NBA needs to make their real bread. The casual fan that has no idea who the No.1 thru No.4 seeds are in each conference. Heck, the dun that doesn’t know what conference any of the teams are even in but just wants to see KD, or more importantly, LeBron lose are the NBA’s real money makers.
The more potential for people to tune into this foolishness the more bread the NBA can charge boyz for advertisin’ space and Cleveland verses Golden State maximizes that potential. Love it or hate it but you’ll be watchin’ as the NBA makes a gang of bread off of your emotions.
What you fail to realize is that all the players love LeBron because without his decision to take his talents to South Beach they wouldn’t be gettin’ these ridiculous salaries we’ve seen over the past 4 or 5 years. Duns signin’ 5 year deals worth $150 million or the max joints at $210 million are a result of his decision. That’s all because of the polarization of LeBron James and duns tunin’ in to see him win or lose.
LeBron’s “Decision” in 2010 did as much, if not more, for the NBA’s bottom line as the Magic/Bird rivalry when they came into the league in 1979. Boyz were watchin’ the NBA Finals on tape delay at the time. Nobody cared about the NBA bruh. Then Magic and Bird showed up and put some soul into the game with crazy emotion from the fans. It was black verses white, ghetto verses Rural America and it sold through the roof. The crazy thing is, Magic and Bird were homies but it made the NBA a gang of money. LeBron is that on steroids for the league right now. Stop me when I start lyin’!

The G is excluded from the endings of all words because the G is near and dear to my heart because I’m from “The G” which is Gary, Indiana. So I only use the G when I’m talkin’ about “The G!”
