At the end of the football season the champions of each conference meet in the Super Bowl to crown a champion. THE. SUPER. BOWL. CHAMPIONS.
THE SUPER BOWL.
At the end of the hockey season the two remaining teams meet in a seven game series to determine the winner of the Stanley Cup. The Stanley Cup Finals. THE. STANLEY. CUP. CHAMPIONS.
THE STANLEY CUP.
And in baseball the champion of the American League plays the National League champion and the winner is crowned The World Series Champion. THE. WORLD. SERIES. CHAMPIONS.
THE WORLD SERIES.
Which brings me to basketball.
I'm guessing you don't know what it's called when the best team from the west faces the best team from the east.
THE BASKETBALL WORLD SERIES!?
Nope.
GRAND TERRIFICO!
Nope.
HOOP CHAMP!
Nope.
SLAM CHAMPS!
Nope.
HOOP SPRINGS ETERNALS!
Nope.
You don't know what it's called...do you?
(I know you do...but the others that read this blog don't)
And do you want to know why most folks don't know what the last series of the year that determines the champion is called?
I'll tell you why.
Because it's LAME!
It's called THE FINALS.
The Finals.
Lame. The Finals.
That's the best they could come up with.
(Beat L.A.)
Finals. Lame.
