Game One of the NBA Finals tips off tomorrow night in Oakland at 9pm EST, pitting the Golden State Warriors against the Cleveland Cavaliers in a rematch of the last two NBA Championship winners.
In this STEEM contest, however, you don't have to worry about who is going to win... it's all about the points.
In each game of the NBA Finals, you may pick one player from each team - one from the Warriors and one from the Cavaliers. You are trying to pick the players that will score the most points in that night's game.
However, once you've picked a player, you can't pick them again for the remainder of the contest. So once you've used up LeBron James, you'll have to pick someone else. You will need to enter your lineup on the post for each game of the series. The post for Game One will be out June 1st at 7am central.
There will be smaller prizes for each Game winner and a Grand prize for the steemian who accumulates the most points throughout the contest.
Right now, the Grand prize pool stands at a minimum of 10 SBD. If these posts do well or I receive some donations, I'll gladly up that figure. Upvote and resteem to help out!

If you're interested in participating, let me know in the comments below, but save your Game 1 entry for tomorrow's post.
I am from Ohio originally and watched Lebron play in HS. It was something. Then the heavens opened up and we got to draft him #1. We were all "all in" on this guy. Then he does that atrocity with his "Decision" going to the Heat to gang up with a full roster of all stars. It still bothers me he wanted a Lay Up Championship. I haven't watched a full NBA basketball game since he left Cleveland. Even though he is back I have held my grudge! lol. Actually, I think I am the only fan who didn't come crawling back. Until Lebron James knocks on my door and personally apologizes for leaving the first time I am not accepting any apology. hahaha. I AM however, ecstatic for the city of Cleveland. The fans deserve a great team and business has flooded back into the city. Lebron..if you are on Steemit..I am still waiting. :)

If I pick Lebron on the first game, I can't pick him on the 2nd game? If I pick kyrie for the 2nd game, I can't pick both of them on the 3rd game?
Am I getting it right?

And also, you mentioned that its about the points, so I can pick alternately? Like I pick S.Curry on the 3rd game then K.Love on the 4th one?

Hi nepd! Excited for the finals and also this contest. I wanted to get it straight in my head...do we have to successfully predict the top scorer from BOTH teams each game or do we simply have to pick the top scorer in general, but choosing 1 option from both teams?
Hope my question makes sense.

Choose one from each team. Highest combined total from ALL games of the series (at least 4, as many as 7) wins the Grand Prize. So if you do poorly today, no worries.

Great! I read your explanation again and it made total sense, but thanks for explaining again. Looking forward to a competitive game tonight.
