You can't say that.
A player may come along to be far superior than Jordan.
There are 2 very young players alive today who seem to be of the absolute elite.
You will clearly not hear from them for the next 5 years, but there are some heavy duty prospects out there.

, but LeBron could be the impact player the NBA needs if the Cavs hadn't taken that golden ticket and used it for a bar napkin. There's no organization to the supporting cast so when James has an off night, no one is established as the pick-up guy and the whole team goes to hell.
Further, the Knicks are a laughingstock anywhere you go, the Spurs aren't that inspiring (For every great Tim Duncan play, I see a blatant flop from Ginobili. It makes me want to throw things.)

I agree with all the above.

, all the talent is in half of the league save for the Celtics.

I don't see it that way.
Put the Celtics aside? I think its pretty much even after that.
There's some great work being done through out the league.
I'm being impressed by quite a few coaches!

A Lakers-Celtics finals could re-energize things, but it'd have to go to 6 or 7. A blowout by the Lakers after the Celtics go through the coronation that is the Eastern Conference playoffs would further cripple the league.

As I said above, I don't think the Celtics will be taxed any more than the Lakers will be should it come to those two in the final.
The scenario looks extremely poissible on two very important levels.
1st:
It would bring attention to a sport few watch these days.
2nd:
The Celtics and the Lakers are easily the two best teams in the NBA at this time.
I bet on that scenario when it was at
25/1
That scenario at this time pays
12/1, and I strongly recommend it !

I've been hearing a lot of talk about the
Detroit Pistons.
I don't buy it.
