In a few hours ping pong balls will decide the fate of several NBA franchises. It's funny how something so tiny can make such a HUGE impact on an entire sport. Just think how different the landscape of the NBA would be right now if 10 years ago the ping pong balls had bounced with the odds and awarded the Celtics the top pick and Tim Duncan. The Lakers/Celtics rivalry would have now included some fierce NBA Finals showdowns between Shaq & Kobe's Lakers vs Duncan & Pierce's Celtics. San Antonio would probably still be looking for David Robinson's replacement instead of on the verge of winning their 4th title in 9 years and enjoying the best overall record of any team in professional sports over the past 10 years.
That's the kind of impact one player can have on a franchise. The past 26 of 27 championships have been won by a superstar. Dr. J, Magic, Bird, Jordan, Isiah, Dream, Shaq, Duncan...Oden & Durant? The Cavs will win titles with James. Which two teams will soon join the list?
