    All the championships in the 80s after Ralph Sampson got injured and three players got busted for cocaine should have an asterisk. Those chips should all belong to the Rockets.

    For years CP3 had health issues and never made it to the finals - now everyone else has issues and CP3 ….

    "the ___ got lucky" is a phrase often stated by the loser in regards to the winner.

    After all the bad luck with injuries, I dont mind CP finally catching a break and wining one because of them to others.

    Every champion gets lucky. You have to be good, but also lucky.

    What will be interesting is if they do win, do they actually physically become the champion they will be mentally. And win it again. That can happen. If you believe it, then it can manifest itself in confidence. Always thought that is what happened to Brett Farve. He just believed in himself so much he became an MVP.

    Harden played Warriors with no KD and he still loosed. But now CP goes through 'only' LBJ, Jokić, PG it's somehow a bad thing? foh

    Umm so basically any team that won this year would have been lucky. Injuries have always been part of the game. Credit to the front office for building a balanced team and taking a huge risk on aging injury prone Chris Paul

    Tell that to the Spurs, Warriors, or Lebrons on a decent amount of their championships. They benefitted from tons of injuries. Every Lebron ring out of the East should also have an asterisk. The Rockets first ring should have an asterisk for no Jordan. The Lakers ring from last year should have an asterisk because Westbrook is mentally handicapped.

    Doesn't matter at the end.

    You’re right, we should’ve have kept Lin & traded James.

    Dude the Warriors with no KD won 73 games one year and a title another. That Warriors bunch would have swept the West this year. FOH

    I have a Serious Question Where is Scott Foster?

    His Hate for Chris Paul literally ruining his career in the Playoffs, by rigging Calls against him.

    Did Scott Foster get a knee injury?

    remember when I referenced your bias and obsession. You continue to prove that point pretty much every day

    Jordan played in 1995 and had a huge turnover against Nick Anderson.

    Michael Jordan played poorly end of story
