NBA Finals 2012

It's always "possible" and who knows, but there has never been a team in the finals down 3-1 to ever come back and win the series.

Da Bulls! If Rose wasn't injured so much the season and playoffs might have been a ok different. We'll just have to see next year. I'm not sure if they could beat Miami but I bet they'd give em a run for their money if all their pieces were there.

Well, that went pretty much how I thought it would go. I didn't see Miami dominating quite as bad, but figured they had it wrapped up. OKC is such a young team that I have no doubt that they'll learn from this and be an even better team next season.

The OKC Thunder will be back. No reason to hang their heads, they played well and are locked up to remain together through 2015 or something..so we'll see them again.

For now, let's have a moment of silence for the LBJ haters. He's now the 2012 season MVP, Finals MVP, has a ring and dropped a couple triple doubles on you as they blasted through 4 straight wins.

I'd say enough is enough. Oh, by the way he's younger than Jordan or Kobe when they won their first. Let it be haters, let it be (unless you're in Cleveland, this really hurts for you).

I for one use to hate Lebron for no good reason. But he has proved this year that he has class and that he is true Championship MVP calibur my hat is off to him.

<3 my Heat, finally winning. Actually made me start watching NBA again, for now.

Kobe was only 21 when he won his first one. James is 27 right now. You are correct about Jordan though as he was 28.

Fair enough. Jordan did however win a pair of three-peats and some Olympic hardware so your little boys there still have some work to do.

But didn't Jordan start after college? Whereas Lebron chose to join the NBA instead.

Yes, James is a year younger but it did take him longer in the league to get his ring.

Congratulations to the Humidity. Well played. They were the best team this year.

Jordan played 4 years for the Tarheels and if I remember right Kobe skipped college, if memory serves me correctly.

yep, Kobe and Kevin Garnett came straight from highschool.

LeBron, Bosh, Wade and Carmello Anthony were all selected first in the 2003 draft. Out of those only LeBron skipped college entirely. Kobe went 13th in 1996 skipping college. Karnett went 5th in the 1995 draft straight from HS. The rule changed to one-and-done in 2006. Stern want to go to two-and-done but NBPA won't budge. http://espn.go.com/nba/draft2012/story/_/id/7771454/nba-commissioner-david-stern-hopes-change-draft-age-rule
