1. The Coronation. Although still not Michael, Lebron "King" James will be well on his way to joining His Airness on the Mt. Rushmore of NBA basketball with a series victory over the Spurs, and ending the Spurs dynasty as a relic of the first decade of the new millennium.
Or, will we see....
2. The Dynasty Confirmed. If the Spurs pull the series out, with a diminished Parker, and a useless Ginobli, then we will have to confirm them as one of the great all-time teams. 5 championship, 15 years, and defeating the heir apparent in Lebron.
And looking to the future....
3. Wade / Bosh 2013-14. Wade silenced some of his critics with his best performance in years. Bosh was better. But will we see the Big 3 in its current make up next year. Wade will be back, but it is clear father time is taking its toll. Bosh's contract is up - a series loss and most likely he will be dismissed for young, more physical talent. All of which will forgotten should the Heat prevail.
The Heat were dead-to-rites a few nights ago, and now the series pendulum has swung back in their favor. Quite frankly, I have never seen a series quite like it, with such huge changes of fortune. Bottom line - for Lebron to be considered ONE of the greats, he will need to carry his team, once more, to the podium and receive the Larry O'Brien trophy.
