There simply wasn't enough love or hate in this year's finals. We want to love Lebron but his team just isn't good enough to get emotionally involved with. We want to hate the Spurs because they play a robotic style of dominating basketball but frankly they're a respectable bunch of joes. In fact the Spurs are the kind of guys that you'd probably like in real life--precisely the problem! We look to the TV to be bigger and better than real life which is why we're inherently disappointed with Duncan and company: they're not big stars, they're just good players. Lebron is a big star and a good player but he doesn't have the supporting cast yet.
We didn't watch the finals this year out of respect for Lebron. We knew his team wasn't good enough to compete and we didn't want to see him lose.
