Three Random Thoughts on the Miami Heat NBA Title

(1) The media has an NBA story that even a cynic like me can feel good about...and they are completely dropping the ball. Where is the discussion about Alonzo Mourning overcoming his kidney ailments to come back and win an NBA title? Media outlets will stretch incredibly far to find feel-good stories about overcoming adversity, and most of them are contrived and borderline on insulting the fan. This one is real, and we don't hear much about it. Weird.

(2) I am seeing a lot of articles and columns about Dwayne Wade being the next MJ. Wade is a great player and deserves a lot of credit for this title, but MJ he is not. That comparison is absolutely ridiculous at this point in his young career, and I'm sure he'd be the first to admit that.

(3) Ahem...who called Heat in 6? (Hint...see Shaq is Baq, posted by the Admiral himself on June 4). I must be a genius. So why doesn't anyone read my blog?
