NBA final sticking up tonight the Miami Heat the Dallas Mavericks and the heat star LeBron James is said only a championship will -- to see success he's in the success for himself.

The question for us is Willie get one and we have a guys play for both teams in the finals this year Jamal Mashburn is so with this from Miami.

Alright let's start off with the prediction and whether or not you think mr.

mr.

James we'll get its first championship that he can win this or what.

Yeah I think they went into six games -- -- think the Miami Heat are just too strong defensively and too many athletes along with.

LeBron and Dwyane Wade and also Chris -- so.

Just too much for Dallas overcome at this particular point but Dallas -- shown up a strong showing a playoffs and everybody wants there to win his.

Title as well but.

I just don't think the Miami -- are -- -- relinquish that at all they just too talented and too strong defensively we have detonated in his Scottie -- right donated the dress is controversial comments last week the middle broadest gonna be the best of all time Jamal.

You know what I played had a chance and opportunity of playing it's Michael Jordan and also LeBron James early part of his career when he was with Cleveland.

And Scott he fails remember he needs -- put enough highlight tape war or film Michael Jordan remember all the things Michael Jordan did so LeBron has a long way to go until he -- that Michael Jordan level not just on.

Championships split far as the evolution of his basketball game.

The -- to me is more like Oscar Robinson and magic Johnson and he is Michael Jordan and everybody forgets about Kobe Bryant he's out there in LA.

-- brazen and -- is the best player within this generation as well.

He's RD wanna quite a few.

Japanese have really -- -- -- any just yet now.

Terms of this series from the you know the business point of view in terms of how it sold and marketed do you think this is that this one that'll do well will -- rate well on TV for example.

I think it does -- well I mean you gotta remember to Dallas Mavericks in Miami he -- the championship game.

Back in 2006.

We're in the Dallas Mavericks collapse and announced the cause of certainly risky missed the few free throws and not being able clothes are OK so you have that story on there and then you have.

The Big Three -- Miami were crisscross LeBron James and Dwyane Wade and and to me you know you have that.

That component.

Good verses evil as everybody likes to say Miami if you're outside of Miami the Miami -- it looked as being evil so -- the you know -- storyline I'm sure a lot of -- Really love that cause the conversation -- go by the water -- now after game one.

We were shown some video of a Dallas and and particularly Dirk Nowitzki while you were speaking as such Jason kid next -- a -- made me think Erica -- early your career Jimmy Johnson to bombers Mashburn and Jason kid.

Not to say that year old or anything but that was a long time ago and this is -- kids still going -- -- There.

-- and I'm not gonna -- talking to you right now so I'm not all that basketball floor and I got a chance to play with Jason -- early in my career phenomenal point guard one of the best passes the games ever seen and that includes.

Have been much Magic Johnson in that conversation.

-- and Jason Kidd of the same days I'm 38 he's 38 is glad to see him going.

He's been -- NBA finals twice what the New Jersey Nets when he was this starting point guard so is awfully good to see better -- point guard.

And Jason -- got that no doubt about trust.

Given this opportunity to play for NBA championship but I don't think his number recall the fourth -- about that appropriate and at a Baghdad you're still taken against -- and you played for for bonuses and so it's a six game series.

Which is they're gonna be some drama -- this are you calling Michael all -- shouts of when and in the six game -- something we remember about the seriously think at the end of it.

I think there will be a couple signature moments I think you'll find a signature moment from the role players will be distributed dialect Udonis Haslem on the -- -- -- Mike Miller hit the big time shot.

Which usually happens throughout the course of the playoffs.

But in the NBA finals -- gonna come down to your stars and that's going to be.

How what was LeBron James perform on the pressure as well as the -- way did we forget the talk about him he has already won a championship ring.

And any other side of the coin is Dirk Nowitzki you know has yet of all of his game enough and become mentally and physically tough enough to win NBA -- so I think -- via a few signature moment this is a matter of who crosses that season thus there.

All right Jamal good to talk to -- again thanks for coming out -- this Jamal Mashburn from from Miami.

Good stuff our --
