So does this series have the most stories/drama than ever before?

(feel free to add your own)

If so, stern and abc/disney corporation are the happiest people alive....

This could be one of the best finals in years.

It would be even better if the Lakers continued where they left off in 1987.

Put it in the Series Thread, Thanks!
