Really weird fact about this years finals

[Purch]

In 1984, the Celtics and Lakers did battle in that year's NBA Finals. The Celtics were 62-20 during the regular season while the Lakers were 54-28. The NBA welcomed a new commissioner in David Stern, replacing Larry O'Brien on April 1, 1984. The Finals that season was also the last time the Finals used the 2-2-1-1-1 format before going to the 2-3-2 format in 1985.


In 2014, the Spurs and Heat will do battle in this year's NBA Finals. The Spurs were 62-20 during the regular season and the Heat were 54-28. The NBA welcomed a new commissioner in Adam Silver on February 1, replacing David Stern. This Finals will be, for the first time since 1984, using the 2-2-1-1-1 format.

Who is Stockton? Gotta be Aaron Craft right?
Marcus Smart can be Alvin Robertson
Noah Vonleh = Sam Perkins
Julius Randle = Otis Thorpe

Except the Heat(in this case supposedly the "Lakers") are the 2 seed while Lakers were the 1st

That part about this being the first time since 1984 that the Finals is using the 2-2-1-1-1 format is a lie.

They used to do them recently.

Does this mean the finals will take longer? As in days off for travel? If so, that's a bummer.

I suspect that league is losing its power in terms of controlling the outcome of the game

but Mark Cuban would disagree

There is a chance, Lebron has always been known as Poor man's Magic since he entered the league.
