I've been a Jason Kidd fan since he was a NJ Net, so I've been hoping the Mavs were going to be able to make this a series against 3 phenomenal/all-time players (James, Wade, Bosh.) Kidd has been to the finals before, but has never won and as a casual, not very interested NBA fan it was nice to hear Kidd at 38 was in another finals. He's a good leader and the moment is never to big for him, though the years might be holding him back now. Anyway, I've been keeping my eyes on these finals and realized there is a white knight in the NBA and his name is Dirk Nowitzki. A 7'0 tall, german dude who sinks rainbow shot from outside the paint.
I've really enjoyed this series and I'm hoping that the Dallas Mavericks can defeat the Miami Heat. I recently saw a video of the Heat mocking the Mavs/Dirk, kidding about having a cough/fever etc and this was before game 5 where the Mavs took a 3-2 lead over the heat.
Anyway, I've noticed that the ratings for these finals are pretty high and I was just wondering if may be having a team with white players(the Mavs) might have something to do with it. I've seen discussions before on this site about how black viewers might not watch wrestling because there aren't many black champions (Which came first:The Black Champion/Black Fan.)
Anyway, do you think more people are watching these finals because there are more white athletes competing? As well, the team with more white athletes has the 3-2 lead at this point against one of the greatest collections of talent ever in Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh.
