    The league isn't shutting down unless teams start missing 4-5 guys.

    This will be an asterisk title. It will not have the build up of other seasons. Teams will likely be missing some guys because of the pandemic and everything up in the air.

    I know if the Rockets win this title it would mean as much to me personally as had we won two years ago.

    Still, I will be very excited if the Rockets win the title.

    You are missing a "not" in there.

    What if every team is healthy by finals? The only few issues would be people that choose not to go (i.e. Avery Bradley) which would affect the dynamic of that specific team, otherwise, if every team were healthy and Rockets win, would you still feel it's not special?

    I just want to know what makes it an asterisk? At this point, everyone should be healthier going into the playoffs. There will be 8 games to "get in shape" prior to the playoffs as well. If it were a perfect scenario, would this still be an asterisk.

    I don't see how it would be an asterisk, but maybe I need to be given a different perspective.

    Austin Rivers agrees, the eventual champion deserves an asterisk:

    We should go out and ask all LeBron fans right now "If the Lakers win will this be a legitimate 4th title for LeBron" and then keep screenshots of their responses. Then when we win and they try to say its a bogus title, smack those sweet receipts back in their faces.
