I offer this a proof: Watch Sports Center after the next Boston/Miami game and count how many times you hear or see the name Kobe or Labron. Also, note how when Labron makes a mistake is referred to as a "Miami Miss".
However, this post this morning that I ran across on the inter-highway gives me more bullets that ESPN has their lips firmly around the manhood of the NBA superstars starting with Miami. Check out his pictures posted from ESPN's facebook page the next morning after Miami loss to the Celtics:
ESPN can't get out of their own way. 1 Win from the Finals - Miami. Let see how they spin this. Say it with me ESPN "Labron and the Heat lost game 5 to the Celtics". Now was that, really that hard?
Here's what's also going to suck, we have the Eastern Conference Finals on ESPN and the Western Conference Finals on TNT then the NBA finals are on ABC, even worse than ESPN because ABC commentators will fill every second of game with useless banter that has nothing to do with what's going on in the game. I really urge the NBA to allow Shaq, EJ, Kenny, Charles, Sheryl & Reggie Miller, Marv Albert, to call the finals and offer the recap. They can still put the finals on ABC but let the professionals that are not going to kowtow to the network to speak. Trust me, it would be so much more than the drek we are going to get from ESPN & ABC commentators.
Not to mention, I like the after game coverage. Once the final buzzer sounds on ABC, the next thing you see if Americas Funniest Home Videos. No locker room, press conference, nothing; just buzzer - Wife Swap.
