pfft, I laugh at this because the NBA wants you to buy into superstars more than the teams. That's Stern's vision and that's how he markets the League. He shoves superstar matchups down your throat for 82 games and 3 rounds of playoffs. He only wants 'teams' to make the finals when those teams are in huge TV Markets, if that isn't the case he's happy to have his most marketable Superstars in the limelight.
