That is all.

I've had my vision now for almost the whole season, and in MY fantasy, this Finals is broadcast on NBC, with the peacock and the old symphonic introduction and fadeaway music from the early 90's:

Marv Albert on the mic, as a replay of Martell Webster draining a 3 and peddling backwards down the floor while beating his chest and screaming out aeons of his own frustration blares on the JumboTron on a glorious and sunny Sunday afternoon in Portland.  It's Game 6 of the 2012 NBA Finals, and we are facing the ringless Cleveland Cavaliers:

"Aww...an unlikely hero, to say the least.  Mar..tell...Webster...with his 8th 3-pointer of the game, ties an NBA Finals record set by Daniel Gibson in 2010, and the record for three pointers in a half by Michael Jordan in '92 against this very franchise, has 24 points in the half, 32 for the game, and with this performance Mike (Fratello), you have to think he is at the top of the list for MVP recognition if the Blazers hold on here in the second half and close out the Cavaliers."

Crowd going wild, with Gary Glitter's Rock and Roll Part II blaring so loud that Mike has to nearly scream into the mic to be heard:

"After struggling mightily through the first three rounds of the playoffs, the small forward out of Seattle Prep has really come alive here when it counts the most.  An unbelievably clutch performance by Martell to cap off one of the great shooting exhibitions in NBA Finals history--63% from the field, 65% from long range, 86% from the line for 23.5 ppg, well above his season average to lead this team.   Look at him draining the 3 right in front of the Cavalier bench, staring down Lebron James, and the Alaska Airlines Rose Garden crowd, feeling the release, of 35 years of championship frustration coming ever closer."  

Marv:  "101, 78 Portland on top.  On the brink of Rip City, as they say, in the City of Roses.  Don't go away:  we'll be right back after this timeout."

*****

So my fantasy ends there, about 5 to 6 minutes short of the actual ecstatic celebration, but with the outcome as certain as a Sergio Rodriguez playing time protest after a bad game by Jarrett Jack.

Webster's inbounding the ball. The Pistons are going man, with no one guarding the inbounder. Martell's struggling to find an open man, and with no timeouts he has to get it in. He throws over the top, in Roy's direction, BUT PRINCE COMES OUT OF NOWHERE!!! He tips it out to midcourt, where a streaking Billups catches it in stride. There's no hesitation, he's going for the easy lay-in and tie. He jumps for the finger-roll, and.. ODEN BLOCKS IT!! HE BLOCKED THE SHOT! HE WAS AT THE FREE THROW LINE AND JUMPED AND PINNED IT ON THE BACKBOARD!!!!! BLAZZZZERRSS WINN IIIIITTTTTT AAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!

Wheels: Welcome back to Game 7 of the 2011 NBA Finals. `Tone lets reset this for those who are just joining us.
Harvey: If you live in Portland and are just joining this game, then you need to have your head examined.
Wheels: (laughing) Just before the break the Blazers missed a golden opportunity to take the lead back from the Lakers. The replay shows the play was for Roy, with Kobe on him at the top of the key. Roy crosses over and gets by kobe...
Harvey: Ooohh that was nasty, Kobe is still looking for his other shoe.
Wheels: he kicks out to Rudy for 3 and the lead but it bounces high off the rim, Oden and LA both had a chance at the put back but Bynum was able to secure the rebound and call a time out. That leaves us with the score Lakers 108, Blazers 107, the Lakers will inbound with 8.5 seconds to play.
Harvey: I can't hear myself think! The Nike Rose Garden is rocking tonight!
Wheels: Gasol to inbound from mid court. Roy face guards Kobe to deny the ball, Gasol looking....looking...he can't get it in...
Harvey: Come on ref that is five seconds!
Wheels: And Gasol calls the Lakers final timeout.
Harvey: I think the crowd really got to Gasol that time because Odom was free for just an instant in the backcourt but he didn't see him.
Wheels: While we have a moment, lets look back at this incredible road the Blazers have took us on over this last 4 years. Starting with "The Draft" in 2007, winning the lottery and getting Oden has to be one of the greatest moments in Blazers history. Even though he had to sit out that season because of the micro surgery on his knee, looking back he says it helped him become the dominate force he is today. The Blazers finished 41-41 that year, their first .500 season in what felt like a decade. The 08-09 season would see the Blazers make the playoffs in the ultra competitive west and advance to the second round after beating the Houston Rockets 4-1. They were taken out of their game however in the second round by the more experienced and hated Lakers who sent them packing after game 6 winning 4-2.
Harvey: I remember that series like it was yesterday, if the Blazers would have had home court I really think they would have moved on to the conference finals.
Wheels: In 2009-10 the NBA shocked just about everyone when they finally decided to alter the playoff format from the East/West system to the new top seeding system. This ended up helping the Blazers by giving them a softer road to the NBA Finals, which they took advantage of, beating Philly 4-0 in the first round, Orlando in the second 4-0...
Harvey: Wouldn't they love Howard back on that team...
Wheels: and then dispatching KG and the aging Celtics in the 3rd round mainly because of the dominate play of LaMarcus, he suffocated KG with his defense on one end and bamboozled him with his offense on the other. However the Blazers playoff nemesis once again sent them home as the Lakers prevailed in game 7 of the 2010 NBA finals 112-102. That series, much like the one the year before has powered this rivalry into the stratosphere, with each series, and each game becoming more physical and more heated. This year the Blazers have met physical play with physical play, they are not afraid, and are not intimidated anymore. These last two years are what the NBA was looking for when he changed the Playoff format and the ratings haven't disappointed.
    So the teams have now broken the huddles and return to the floor with the same five for each team. Roy, Rudy, Webster, LA, and Oden for the Blazers, Farmar, Kobe, Odom, Gasol, and Bynum for the Lakers. Odom to inbound this time, once again from mid court. No times outs for the Lakers this time so he has to get it in.
Harvey: I would like to see Nate double Kobe and for anyone else to shot these free throws.
Wheels: Here we go, Odom has 5 second to get it in, looking for Kobe off a Bynum screen, RUDY STOLE THE BALL!!!!(voice cracking) racing toward the basket with Odom on his back, he throws it up a wild shot trying to draw the foul, ODEN FOLLOWS IT IN WITH TWO HANDS!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM SHAKA LAKAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Harvey: Only .4 seconds left! Can you believe this?
Wheels: Bynum inbounds to Kobe who launches a full court bomb...BLAZERS WIN!!! BLAZERS WIN!!!
Harvey: Let the Parade start today!
Wheels: Did you see Oden racing down the court, he took off from below the free throw line on the Lakers end and beat every Laker and Blazer down the court for that Game Winning follow up two handed jam that nearly broken the rim! Fans have stormed the court here at the Nike Rose Garden, it is pandemonium! The Lakers can't even get off the court, the Blazers are at mid court dancing on the logo, while fans have surrounded them in ecstasy. Security is having a tough time getting people off the court, to allow for the post game award ceremony to begin. Lets go to Rebecca who is in the middle of it all...
Rebecca: Guys I have Travis here who watched those last few seconds from the best seat in the house, Travis what were you thinking watching your man Greg bring down the thunder to win the game?
Travis: Well, huh when he threw the ball in I was like, "OH!" And I saw Rudy drive it and I though, "man!" when he missed I said, "oh my!" and then when Greg, "whew!" ha-ha we won!
Rebecca: Guys...

and then a Portland/Boston matchup with Oden beating up on the Celts thus further shoving it in their faces that they (unsuccessfully) tanked for Oden.
