I slightly disagree only because the media might be able
to milk the city of Cleveland breaking its championship drought and LeBron James being the "prodigal son" who delivered his "hometown" a championship longer. I am not sure how much more the media would have been able to talk about GS, its 73 regular season wins, and comparison with the 72 wins Bulls team since they already talked about it during the regular season. Plus from merchandise sales, I would think Clevelanders are more likely to purchase more championship items (because of the historic significance) than GS fans.
Now I am not suggesting that the NBA rigged it so Cleveland would win the championship. Just that the NBA would benefit more in exposure and championship merchandise sales with a Cleveland victory.
