The NBA title is the hardest title in Major sports to win.

i am happy for the hornets and their success....however, i continue to not participate in the observation of basketball

Dude, you know how we felt as Saints fans when the Saints make the playoffs, it feels like that! You should really consider going to a game, even if you don't care much for basketball you will be entertained and will want to go back, of course now you can only go to a game with a ticket and those are much harder to come by now that the team is winning.
