Green confetti? No just green Money.

Green confetti? No just green Money.


David Stern is happy. The Boston Celtics are happy. Burgeoning authors Johnson and Bird are happy. The NBA is happy. Kobe Bryant is happy for the time being. Shaq could lose his badge.

In April NBA commissioner David Stern said; it was his understanding that the fans were tired of lackluster NBA Finals. They wanted the glory years of the past. Another Celtics/Lakers match up. He wished to see that himself. The team of the past lacked glamor. Meaning the San Antonio Spurs. I'm not a Spurs fan. But a slap in the face is a slap in the face.

After that statement Manu Ginobili was throwing passes to Tim Duncans feet. The Spurs started putting up air balls and bricks. The choreography was as transparent as the New England Patriots offensive line in the faux Super Bowl. Stern had the nerve to issue the statement that "referees were not instructed on guiding the outcome of games" There is no need, it's decided before the coin toss.

Charles Barkley pointed out the Spurs play solid defense and sharp offense. They win championships and go home to be with their families. That is not enough for the NBA. A team has to produce stars and headlines year round. Their are no Air Duncan sneakers. The Spurs side court does not look like a hollywood casting call of stars.

One sad moment was the Celtics sending a player into the locker room, supposedly hurt. Only to return to the court. Mimicking the Larry Bird return to play from years ago. It was cheap, fairly crass and drew cheers from the ticket buyers. You paid to see a show, you saw one.

Phil Jackson is too young to assume the most titles win from Red Auerbach. The Boston Celtics are the glorified pedigree of professional basketball. They will have to repeat in 2009. The Lakers will fall again. Another MVP pat on the back for Kobe Bryant. Also a boost to sales for Larry and Magics book. Making room for another Laker run in 2010. In time for the big Kobe VS Shaq showdown. LaBraun James is young and will be looked over much as Kevin Garnett. Until he joins an approved team.

It will be Shaqs time to step down from the ranks of NBA big men. The Sun will be given a Reggie Miller and the Pacers like send off. Shaq will shed tears thanking all who made this moment possible. The axe between he and Kobe will be buried. Passing the new NBA Man of the Moment-Michael Jordan credentials to Kobe Bryant.

Still, would not it be just as good, if they just let the men play the game? Not decide in the office who will win what championship in what year. Based on sales of merchandise and celebrity headlines news.
