Also didn't help when they kept trying to feed Varejao in the 3rd quarter.

 

I was confused as hell about that. Why play through your worst player? What's the point?

I am legit elated for LeBron. Bye bye haters.

 

Ok, promise fulfilled now come to the Bulls. Favorite non-Bull ever.

Barkley was right

About what? He's been picking against the Warriors for two years now, I don't think he can claim a win for all of this.

Nice for the city of Cleveland after all the suffering they've gone through.

 

In the end, the Bulls won (since GS couldn't seal the deal up 3-1) and LeBron's career finally doesn't have the question marks surrounding it.

 

However many championships he ends up with, he vindicated the decision to go back to the Cavs and righted the wrong he did "jilting" them like he did.

 

 

The Indians and the Cubs have hope now, haha.

LeBron just made top 5 status with this. Maybe top 3.

Only MJ and Kareem have legit case over LeBron. He's solidly in the Bird, Magic, Shaq, tier.

As Mychal (Thompson) paces back and forth in his family room, LeBron is on his mind now. To Klay's father, LeBron is something we've never seen in basketball, a forward built like a linebacker with the skills of a point guard. Mychal says James has bullied his way onto his "second NBA Mount Rushmore." The first, he says, includes Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Michael Jordan. The second is made up of LeBron, Tim Duncan, Magic Johnson and Jerry West.

I can now say for the first time that I am officially a "witness."

Yup. Only MJ and Kareem can claim spots higher than LeBron.

That block.

That block.

 

But did he go for 40/10/10? No? Failure.

Yup. Only MJ and Kareem can claim spots higher than LeBron.

I wouldn't even include Kareem. I still won't take LeBron over MJ, but he's better than anyone else.

Kareem doesn't win dick without Magic. MJ has the only case.

LOL Kareem won a NBA title when Magic was still in grade school.

And not like LeBron did it on his own.

I wouldn't have Kareem in the discussion either to be honest.

Alright, I forgot about Kareem's one Bucks title. Still, LeBron is clearly #2. And he's still got a good 3-4 years before the real decline starts.

Fitting that Kyrie had to make the clutch shot

NBA is just terrible now. This series sucked and the final 8 minutes of this game it was a bunch of 1 on 1 over and over again. Most of those shots were horrible

Man, I'm so happy for LeBron. 5 finals losses would've been tragic. This win almost (ALMOST) makes up for the 2011 choke. And as good as the Warriors still are, the antidote for beating them has clearly been established. It looked like they were going to go on a legit 3-4 year run for a while there.

No empirical evidence supports this claim. The NBA is bigger than it has ever been and the talent level is unreal

Curry wasn't 100% in terms of lateral quickness, Iguodala wasn't quite himself, they were without Bogut, and the NBA handed them a lifeline when they suspended Draymond Green for Game 5.

 

That said, even though he didn't have the defining game-winning shot, the series was all about LeBron's overall dominance, with Kyrie Irving playing the Pippen to his Jordan.

They didn't have Kyrie after game 1 and Kevin for the entire series last year. Draymond put himself in that position and has nobody to blame but himself, Cavs earned it.

Nonsense. The nba peaked 30 (or if you believe Oscar Robertson 50) years ago. Everybody knows this.
