Team A
Goes 82-0 in the season in by far the toughest conference that year(anything is possible right?), goes 12-0 in the first three rounds so 94-0 overall.
Team B
Same year, different conference. This team is good, goes 55-27, but in a terrible conference(only 1 team over 50 wins and that is you) #1 seed, but just barely got pass the 1st round in the 7th game to a team that went 38-44, beat the 2nd round in 5, but again just barely got pass the conference finals in 7.
Here's the deal, they meet in the NBA Finals, clearly team A is better and everyone knows it.
BUT
In Game 1, one of their top players gets injured early for the entire series(think a player as good as Prime Shaq).
Still, Team A wins both 2 games at home, goes up 2-0.
In game 3, another one of their top players goes out and it is their PG(think someone as good as a Prime Magic). So they lost basically the 2 most important positions PG and C.
Team B(completely healthy) wins games 3 and 4, lose game 5, win game 6.
In Game 7, Team A has a 10 pt lead in the 4th, but then the game gets outta hand with the refs and they call 5 absolutely terrible calls against Team A(so bad that they get fired by the league) that lead to 10 pts easy fast break buckets. Team B wins on a half-court buzzer beater miracle shot.
Team A, hands down the greatest team ever, loses to team B.
