I felt compelled to write this review since stevepasek had such a negative and most of all, had incorrect statements in his review.
Like I already mentioned, this season originally ends with Magic sitting in the showers after losing this game 7. However producers were able to shoot an alternate ending (the one we all see which tells us in subtitles what happens to most of the characters down the road) in case they got cancelled. So obviously, after receiving the news of cancellation, they were able to put that alternate ending in.
And as far as stevepasek saying "Magic and Bird saved the NBA is a stretch" only shows he's just a casual fan at best and needs to some NBA history education. The NBA was a dying brand before Magic and Bird...low attendance, low tv ratings, even the players (a number of them) were doing hard drugs before and even during the games). Magic and Bird not only saved the NBA, they made it relevant, exciting, and brought so much more popularity to it. Stevepasek, google is your friend.
