The slippery slope fallacies is a chain of small steps that states a related event to a negative conclusion. It leads to series of events that give the inevitability of the event is questioned. Each event will connect to each other in a chain of events until it will lead to either a true conclusion or a false one. For example: 1 leads to 2, 2 leads 3, and 3 leads to 4 but the conclusion will end as 4 to 7. This is a slippery fallacies because the conclusion 7 does not connect to 1-4.
My example is the whole Lebron James free agency sweep stakes. After winning his second MVP, the Cavilers lose in the playoffs leading to a bog upset. From July 1st to the 8th, he had meetings with many teams that wanted to get him on their team. Chris Bosh verbally committed to play with D Wade on the Heat. That Thursday, LeBron publicly dissed the state of Ohio to play for the Heat with a good chance of winning a Championship. For the 2010-2011 season, The Heat will win the championship beating the LA Lakers.
The conclusion to my example could be dubious because there are many ways of the Heat not winning the championship for example: injuries, getting on a cold streak of winning, or losing in the playoffs before making it into the championship game.
