The Circus Created by Sports Media...

I dont get to watch EVERY single game that comes on TV because sometimes i have better things to do like wash my hair or clean my golf clubs but apparently the Cleveland Cavaliers won the NBA championship last night. Thats awesome. Really it is, because last time i checked they havent even won the Eastern Conference finals against the Pistons. yes, they have won the last 3 games and yes lebron scored 48 points and 29 out of 30 at one point but its only one game. just 4 games earlier the media was ripping lebron for not taking the last shot in the game and all of a sudden one week later they are redesigning the nba logo after him instead of jerry west. seriously, its one freaking game. i hope he can power his way past tayshaun prince. the guy is a toothpick. i hope he can power his way past rip hamilton, who is still nursing his broken nose from jr high. even if they close out the series, guess what? they still havent won it all yet because the almighty san antonio spurs are up next. good luck scoring 30 with bruce bowen guarding you so close that you think he is inside your jock. yes, bowen will play a little dirty... i mean crafty. can you handle all those non-calls we are about to see? i doubt it. which one of your teammates is going to stop tony parker from driving the lane at will and who is going to stop Duncan? yes duncan might score 14 points but at the end of the night it feels like 34 points. lebron still hasnt won anything but the media such as espn, cant seem to get off his jock. its one game. if he wins the championship then lets think about putting him on a postage stamp but right now, you dont get recognition for winning 3 games in the conference finals. jordan scored 60 some odd points against the celtics one year but did they win the series? no. was it a great scoring display? yes. but lets not forget detroit couldnt hit a 3 pointer to save their life and only lost by 2. its not like cleveland dominated anything. teams only dominate and win by 2 in baseball and soccer NOT basketball.
