Does Anyone Actually Think NBA Pros Care About Wining Championships?

I haven't followed the NBA for many years for this very reason.\n\nWhile all professional sports seem to have their share of athletes who seem to only care about their statistics and how that translates into a paycheck, there seems to be a lot more of it in the NBA.

Im a die hard mavs fan, and i say it was a lack of class. The fans should have stayed and applauded the Heat for a well played series. They beat the best the mavs had to offer. In my book that demands respect. The heat, regardlees of affiliation, is the best team in the nba this year. They have the trophy.

Amateur athletes have by definition a tougher time because they have to balance their training with work... \n\nbut, I am happy for pro's who actually get money from playing sports\n\nThe only thing I ask is, if you are getting paid to do a sport you better do it way better than amateurs.. that goes to you NBA players who can't shoot freethrows!

If you are a basketball fan than it is never boring. Playoffs are more exciting though. And the New York Knicks Fan. No wonder your bored. Lack of superstars NBA has plenty of superstars. I dont think you know what you are  talking about. \n\n       And to the person with the comment of the Olympics. We would win every time if our players were not so cocky and selfish. More than half of the superstars did not play in the Olympics where we won bronze. And still a lot of superstars arent playing. If they had Kobe Shaq Duncan AI WADE LEBRON TMAC MARION GARNETT CARTER Jermaine Amare and Arenas we would be the Dream team and blow out teams by at least 30 points.

Oh yeah I am so down with DX. But to answer your question I would say that DX doesn't want those titles. They just want to do their jobs. And Titles aren't of what makes you a better wreslter, having the courage to do whatever you want. And take a risk that might even kill you! Weather you were in a championship match and you won, that still wouldn't make a difference. You will stay being the person that you are. I don't know why so many superstars make such a big deal about getting titles to make something out of themselves.

Just because they can't win the championship doesn't mean they should stop giving 100% in every game. They have to keep on trying their best even if they just make the playoffs, that's still an accomplishment. If every team that had no chance at winning the championship just gave up the NBA would no longer have any fans because games like that would be incredibly boring

NO. Because the NBA and the officials want Miami to win the Finals. You people gotta see the refs are cheatin for Miami to win. See all those bullshit calls and who touch Wade on the last play? The devil? This series is FIXED, the NBA is FIXED. Miami is lucky to have the NBA on their side. They had them on their side since Shaq roll down there.  I just Hope Dallas win this series. But as long as the NBA and the refs are on Miami side I can see Mavs winning this series. And it is SAD to see this BULL$HIT thing going on. Thats why I watch College Basketball, because those refs let them play. Even though Duke get all the calls.

that is a hard question to answer so telling you now wouldn't really be worth it. Heats, Spurs, Pistons one of the Three will carry home the glory. But i want Heats to win and they can if they get their team in prefect sync. cause thats an all star team you looking at

No, but don't count them out, they score a lot of points but so do the other teams. They have to get some D from somewhere. Every champ within the last five years have had D, Lakers, Spurs, Detroit, all of them had it. They got to get it.

naa.. i dont think so... deep down, u know those athletes are competitors, and they're always going to want to win no matter what.. nobody likes to lose!

I HOPE they do. I love them. I love Nash. He's magnificent and doesnt fail to show his worthiness of the 2nd MVP award he received. However, the Mavs ARE a really good team. I like to believe they'll win, but never really know...

well, I miss their competitiveness, Paul Pierce alone isn't good enough.\n\n16 NBA Titles more than anybody in the NBA, Russell, Auerbach, Cousy, Bird, Parrish, McHale, those guys are my heroes, now the superstars are Le Bron, Wade, Kobe, Mark Cuban.\n\nRick Pitino was right the Celtics today area Lost cause what a Shame.

Detroit is prolonging the the series to get mo money.  They already know that they will face Miami in the finals and will dominate.  Basketball is rigged and it is exactly like professional wrestling.  Most of what you watch has already been figured out and the point spreads fixed to keep the bettors off guard and the rich-rich.  Look at The Superbowl where Seattle was robbed by the officials.  If a game gets to look too far out of place the officials are there to bring it back into perspective.  Don't believe me-I will tell you now that college teams are the real champs and that is why the US Olympic team was shot down.  Because when it comes time to play real ball they are so outta sync that they can not function as a team.  Why not let the US NBA team play for The Olympics as a reward and as representation of OUR Champions.  Because They Cheat and the Olympics would disgrace the US by permanently barring them.  However if we allowed Florida State (and I pulled for Gonzaga by-the-way) to represent U.S., we would have true team spirited champions giving it there all for their country.  They could give a sHEEt about the money HOMEY!

After the tank-job they pulled at the tail-end of the regular season, they deserve a slap or two on the wrist, but that's beside the point.\n\nCan they do it? Win the series? Sure. They're almost done w/the Nuggets anyhow.\n\nBeyond that, I don't care, but I doubt they could beat the Lakers-Suns winner, Spurs-Mavs winner that awaits whichever conference opponent left standing, etc etc.\n\nCan the Clippers do it?\n\nIn a word buddy: Nope.

I'm a huge spurs fan and i hope they can manage somethin' out but piston's are playing great this season and Duncan is not playing so great(except yesterday). So i hope not but i think pistons can win and they are closer to the title....
