The 2009 NBA Finals begin on Thursday, June 4, and we wlll be having a winner-take-all series-long contest based on total points accumulated by answering the 10 questions below. Each answer is weighted, so the least likely the occurence, the more points accumulated. The point values of each answer are listed next to the choices.

The winner will receive a $50 account at 5 Dimes, with a 3 time roll-over. A tiebreaker is provided at the bottom of this post, and if there is still a tie after the tiebreaker, the winner will be the entry that was posted first.

*IMPORTANT*
All players must message their 5 Dimes account to SBRforum Staff prior to making selections. If you do not have an account you must SIGN UP Here.
