I have heard commentators say that great players who want to play with other great players is good for the NBA. They say that having several superstars concentrated on teams like Miami, New York, Chicago, Boston, LA (the Lakers of course, not the Clippers) is good for the game. As for the little sisters, Charlotte, Toronto, Cleveland, Sacramento, Milwaukee--well, somebody's gotta lose every night so it might as well be these guys, right?
It seems like a business model right out of World Wrestling Entertainment. Their business model talks about popular wrestlers who get a "push" to increase their popularity and ultimately popularity. The guys they beat up all week long, they're called "jobbers" because they're just there to do a job, to make the stars look good. They also call them "ham and eggers" because they'll never be able to afford steak and eggs.
Miami has been getting a push all season long. Toronto, they're just doin' a job.
So tonight, as Chicago takes on Toronto, just remember those ham and eggs are supposed to taste good. That's all the NBA thinks your team is worth.
