Why I want to see Denver and Orlando in the Finals

There are a few schools of thought on sports fanmanship. There are
those who always root for the teams that win year after year, the
teams from the big cities, the the teams with the big name players.
These fans are "front runners."

Then there are fans who loyally root for the home team, year after
agonizing year, and once their teams are eliminated from the
postseason, they root for similar teams that are underdogs. These are
"true fans."


Lebron v. Kobe would admittedly be an interesting series, but it is so
fun settling into my instinctual role as a true fan and rooting
against them in the conference finals.

Every year, every sport, I root for the underdog. I was born and bred
for this purpose. I have had my share of disappointments, but they
have made the victories all the more sweet.

Plus, you know I am in the minority and the NBA would get a better
rating with LA/LeBron. It would give me great satisfaction to have
the smaller cities playing for the rings.

(BTW this will never happen)
