With Jokic winning FMVP over Embiid.

Not sure about Philly, but I feel confident enough in picking Denver.

It's the matchup we want to see.

I'm not saying it's most likely to happen.

For real lol. You can’t say “calling it” then say it most likely won’t happen.

The top 4 selling merch for the 2nd half of the year is Lakers,Warriors, Celtics, Suns. Any combination of those teams in the finals is going to draw the biggest numbers. A Denver/Sixers finals is not likely to cause much national interest.

When op says "we" he is referring to pro-white basketball fans. They are hoping to see some Magic-Bird thing between Jokic and Embiid where Jokic comes out on top proving his superiority and that he deserved the MVP.

His allegiance will certainly be tested if the Warriors beat the Lakers.

Thanks for clarifying that, because of the teams left that matchup would probably draw the lowest numbers.

:lol

All seriousness, I can't see a series drawing larger numbers than the Warriors/Lakers matchup. Suns and Warriors would also be big for the KD vs Steph/his old team thing.

Yes they would, not sure about bigger than Warriors/Lakers though. The two most marketable/polarizing players in the league and most well known to the casual audience are Lebron and Steph, not to forget the history between them as finals opponents.

They could sell the Knicks because it's New York but Randle and Brunson are not "fame" superstars at all in spite of being in NYC.

The Lakers and Celtics are a draw moreso because of their respective legacies and rivalry, but I don't know how much of a draw Tatum would be if not wearing Celtics green. The Warriors have become a massive draw during the Curry era.

For ratings going forward if silver wants to make some money Lakers vs Celtics is the cash cow. It's got so much history to hype off and build views.

Nuggets vs Sixers would probably be one of the weakest matchups money wise especially with embiids injury history. An injury to him which he already apparently has would render that series unwatchable.
