With the Orlando Magic on the verge of the NBA Finals and the Denver Nuggets shooting for a 3-2 series against the Los Angeles Lakers tonight, NBA Commissioner David Stern is already making contigency plans to cancel this year’s NBA Finals.

“It’s not that Dwight Howard and Carmelo Anthony aren’t great players,” Stern said.  “It’s just nobody wants to watch them.”

When asked if NBA referees were favoring their calls towards Lebron and Kobe, Stern simply replied, “We had a Nike puppet campaign and everything.”

But, cancel the NBA Finals?  Isn’t that a little irrational?

“Well, I don’t what else to do?”  Stern said.  “We had puppet campaign!  A puppet campaign, I tell you!”
