nba final 4..are the top 4 seeds..top 2 final standings each conference. This is a great sport where talent rises to the cream of the crop. Where you see the stars and there are many of them in the final 4. NHL...pitts/bost out and i believe st louis and san jose..hockey is a sport of unknowns and there is little talent. Eastern conf finls Montr vs NYR..quite possibly not one hall of famer on those 2 teams.
