Is Lebrons chase down block the most important block in nba history?
Most def

But I would argue his block and staredown in game 6 might have been more important

that sequence literally shattered curry's mental state

LBJ destroyed Curry both mentally and physically this series, it's insane

Another pointless debate

Which team is better

Lebron's Heat teams (any)

Or this Cavs team????
Heat by a mile I think. Cavs have more shooters overall but MIA at its peak was just spectacular on both ends. Always took great shots and Wade and Bosh were alot better off the ball which made their offense hum and they could probably out smallball these warriors.
 
I mean, they needed each other to win this. Kyrie was fantastic.

of course they did, but LeBron had one of the greatest stretches of games ever. He played otherworldly. Kyrie was fantastic, but the fact that he was fantastic and still didn't deserve even consideration for FMVP should tell you how legendary the last few games LeBron put together were. it's the kind of shit they will be talking about 50 years from now.
 
Those heat teams were better, but LeBron seems to have shook the demons here in terms of the mental toughness, if you combined the two those heat teams would've been unbeatable.
I think this Cavs team is def better than the 2010-11 Heat and maybe even the 2013-14 one but ain't no Lebron team is gonna touch that 2012-13 one.

What an unbelievable final game that was. Congratulations to Cavs fans! Really happy for them and their city, well deserved after that comeback down 3-1

Not a fan of either team, but going into this I had some bias towards Golden State winning, if only to see some closure to their record breaking season. But after seeing this series, hard to argue the Cavs didn't deserve it. Golden State had their chances and it just didn't happen. A lot will be said about Lebron's strong performance in this series as a whole, which is well earned, but Kyrie probably impressed me the most. Calmly sinking shot after shot right up to the end. Surely a nice moment for him after missing last year's Finals.

Did you miss LeBron vs the Mavs he was worst then Curry was this series, Curry has a ring, he is fine

I dont think Lebron was that poor, just that Dirk was much better and overshadowed. 3-1 up and blowing multiple home elimination games is a little different.

Also, happy for Kevin Love, after all the ridicule he's gotten, and not ever truly fitting in in this system, that he still gets a ring. I hope, if he doesn't stay with the Cavs, that he does well wherever he goes (and we get something good for him).

I just want to hug all the Cavs players right now.
 
So the question now is what do you do with Kevin Love?
Keep him. I keep saying it, but GSW was an awful matchup for him. He was a net positive all season long on the floor and he'll probably play loose and free next season with a ring on his finger. Still want a guy like that against teams with traditional forwards and centers.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL TEAM. ON TO CLEVELAND AND TO SPACE JAM
 
It happened NE Ohio GAF.

I was literally running up and down the street giving high fives and screaming and celebrating with the neighbors. All while fireworks were shot off by the neighborhood.

Amazing!!' Can't believe it. Start erecting the LBJ statue now.

I have friends downtown and I wish I was down there with them. It's a madhouse but it's gotta be amazing

I'm a Pistons fan but congrats to the Cavs. They had a historic performance and LeBron cemented his place in the All-time Top 10... Golden State destroyed their legacy with a record regular season performance but no title.

Yeah, no, every player on the warriors would trade their regular season record for the chip
They probably would, but which one is harder to pull off? When can I expect a team to go 74-8? The NBA season is long, arduous and boring and to keep that sort of excellence going on every night is very very impressive to me. The Warriors have to travel like 40,000 miles in a season and play back to back games or 3 games in 4 days.

It's ridiculous how much shit these teams have to go through just to have it all not matter come playoff time. It's dumb. If the regular season is not going to matter in the long run, why play it? It's only making the playoffs worse when you have these teams pretty much crawling towards the finish line.

I don't expect any team to chase that record anymore given what just happened to these Warriors.
