The Kobe-LeBron NBA Finals has been hyped so much, that one cannot watch an NBA game without seeing the Vitamin Water commercial where people are debating whose better. These whole playoffs have been dedicated to getting a Lakers-Cavaliers all-star showdown for the ages.
Following a 120-101 loss to the Denver Nuggets, Kobe Bryant and his Los Angeles Lakers find themselves in a 2-2 deadlock in the Western Conference Finals.
Across the country, LeBron James and the Cavaliers trail their Eastern conference Finals series 2-1 to the Orlando Magic.
See the problem?
The Lakers should be okay, they now are in a best of 3 series with the Nuggets and 2 of the 3 games are at the Staples Center. But that's not a guarantee, the Nuggets have shown they can win on the road, and after last night's 19 point win over L.A., they feel they can win this series.
The Cavaliers on the other-hand? They're in trouble. Yes, they are only down 2 games to 1, but if LeBron's "shot that saved Cleveland" miracle 3-pointer doesn't roll in, they are in an 0-3 hole. Orlando has flat-out out-played the Cavaliers, and LeBron is receiving no help from his teammates.
That being said, it might just not be LeBron's time to win a championship. Yes, he is the best player in the NBA right now, he just doesn't have the help to carry him all the way. Maybe the Cavs will make a few good moves during the off-season to help LeBron and next year will be the year for King James to face Kobe in a legendary finals, but I think that this year it is just not meant to be.
