well obviously you don't watch espn or listen to sports talk radio,as you are doubting something that has been being discussed constantly the last few days..
yes its being discussed, obviously. but is it being discussed as one of the best series in the history of the NBA as you said it was?
Your point goes out the window when you start your argument with "I was a young kid"listen.everyone gets that warm fuzzy feeling thinking back to the games they grew up watching.
apparently im not the only one who thinks those series were some of the greatest being that the NBA still uses the highlights of those Lakers, Pistons, Bulls, Celtics and Knicks playoff battles in todays highlights.
will people still be talking about this series 5,10,20 years later and still using some of the highlights? dont think so.
i can see how some casual sports fans can be a bit short sighted and get caught up in the hype, it is a good series. but you might want to let the dust dust settle and look at the entire NBA Playoff history that is encompassed by so many great players and moments before you crown it one of the greatest ever.
like a kid who immediately says
this Christmas was the best ever because he sees the new toys in front of him at the moment, when he gets older he forgets the trendy toys with all the bells and whistles and appreciates the bigger moments.
all the overtimes and lead changes are fun to watch and makes for a good game/series but does not equate to one of the greatest series ever. like a toy with all the bells and whistles, dont get so easily mesmerized.
