Interviewer: What did you think of the 2010 playoffs?

Stern: Our marketing research showed us a Lakers repeat would maximize revenues going forward so we arranged it.

Interviewer: Are you talking about the free throw parade in the fourth quarter of game 7?

Stern: Joey Crawford reffed three games in the finals and the Lakers won all three. The only problem is that the fourth quarter of game 7 was so blatent that even some of our typical brain dead fans are figuring out what's going on.

Interviewer: What are you gonna do about that?

Stern: We're gonna have a training camp this summer to teach our refs how to fix games more effectively.

Interviewer: How will this Lakers championship help the league?

Stern: Phil Jackson will return and the Lakers will go for a three peat. That's worth millions in hype alone.

Interviewer: Were you pleased with how the playoffs turned out?

Stern: The finals were perfect drama, as good as any other reality TV show. There were too many sweeps this year however. We'll be implementing a no sweep policy starting next season.

Interviewer: Where do you want James to go?

Stern: We've determined a Wade-James-Bosh dream team from Miami losing in 6 or 7 games to the Lakers going for a three peat will be a ratings bonanza.

Interviewer: Isn't it a little unfair that you've already determined the winner?

Stern: The Heat dream team will get revenge and beat the Lakers in 6 or 7 games in 2012.

Interviewer: That sounds interesting.

Stern: Yeah, don't get me wrong. We like to be fair as long as it doesn't hurt the bottom line.

Nice post, as a Celtics fan it is very tough to take, to have the championship stolen from us, Stern has ruined this great sport for such a long time and there is never any backlash or repercussions to his actions, everyone just takes it, sad, the NBA could be so great if they just had better officials who had no agenda.

It's real sad to see your childhood beliefs and dreams crushed. Maybe the NBA will be a real sport again someday.

Cute. My favorite line was, "There were too many sweeps this year however. We'll be implementing a no sweep policy starting next season." I don't remember crappy calls favoring LA late in game 7, though; maybe I was turned to the computer too much. Can anyone vouch for this? As in, you saw bad calls, not just a lot of blown whistles.

Thanks for the encouragement.

My satirical stuff is too unusual for this place but this satire of jjgold is really brilliant:

Yes, this was posted about 10 months ago.

Note that was before Wade, James, and Bosh got together and before Jackson decided to come back and before the rest becomes a reality...?
