Binary sport

Michael Jordan won six NBA titles.

But what we want to know is, can you name the teams that came second to each one of these titles?

I think only a truly passionate NBA fan would be able to get all these right.

The rest of us forget the losers because that’s the binary nature of sport.

There’s no points for trying.

There’s no points for memorable subplots.

There’s no guarantees for fairy tale endings.

It’s what makes the actual fairy tale ending so compelling when they do happen.
