Bucks vs Suns NBA Finals Thread

The average NBA team reminds me a lot of old time movies. There'd be two, three, and rarely as many as four stars listed on the billboards. There would be others, listed in small print. They were the role players that filled the holes in the script. The story centered around the 3 or 4 on top. At least, when it started.

The one major exception that I first remember was when Marlon Brando played Jor-El in Superman. Made $3.7 mill out front, and about 11% on the back end. He died very quickly in the movie, but it was his name that sold it.

It might interest people to known that Christopher Reeves playing Superman was only paid $250,000, and was in nearly all the scenes of the movie. The actual "star" became the role player to the guy with a "name" that sells.

Speaking of billboards I see a PHX law firm paid for a billboard to go up in MKE saying Go Suns.
