This should be a fun NBA Finals.

Lebron James vs. Kevin Durant has me as intrigued as any individual matchup we’ve had since Olajuwon-Ewing or more so a couple years earlier in Jordan-Drexler.

This is the 12th time in NBA history that the players who finished first and second in the MVP voting will meet in the NBA Finals. The MVP winner is 9-2.

I've actually gotten over the theft of my Sonics and will be rooting right along side you folks. Looking forward to seeing KD drop 45 on the Heat tonight.

As a Texas native, I cannot bring myself to root for a team from Oklahoma

Your magnanimity far exceeds that of a number of other Sonic fans. Personally, I see both sides of the "theft" issue. But then, since they wound up here, that is easy for me to say.

Regardless, glad to hear you are on board. Thunder Up!

I’m not a University of Texas fan either so those scores just make me smile.

Rooting for the Seattle SuperSonics of Oklahoma City (heck, it works for the Angels …)

The Heat are going down, just like Trayvon.
