This being the first Cleveland 'ship I've been alive for, I feel obligated to go out there on Wednesday. That said, I have a final exam on Thursday that I should probably study for instead of going.

Decisions...

That's right lol.

All his LBJ talking points have been shattered. He's leaving at the right time!

Can't win a championship. Done

Can't be clutch. Done

Can't win without Dwayne Wade. Done.

This has been the greatest night of my life next to my son (who I named Kyrie) being born. After speaking to everyone, crying after the win and celebrating I thought I can be the only member from GAF from Cleveland! Hope it felt as good for u as it did for me. To come back from down 3-1 fits us. We never give up on our teams and we always believe. Blue collar as fuck! Parade Wednesday fellas! It's going to be insane!! It's insane right now downtown. We really won! We really fucking WON!

Idunno about Wilt being there but everyone else absolutely. Jordan first though, sir. He is basketball.

The list is in no order. Wilt was so good in his era it was nasty. The 100 points in one game is insane. I could see Russell being over him though. Lebron doesn't touch those names unless he wins like 2 more.

Kobe didn't lose multiple championships, had more heart, scored 81, a better leader, won against defensive juggernauts, etc. Kobe is the closest we will ever get to Jordan.

LeBron never had a teammate in the same universe as prime Shaq. He was terrible in 09 on the Cavs.

He had Shaq (who is miles better than him lol) and Pau. Coached by the Legendary Phil Jackson. Scored 81 against a defensively-inept Raptors in a regular season lol. Closest to a Jordan-like player, sure, but he's no top 5 all time.

Yup, Lebron does so much on the floor compare to Kobe. Lebron > Kobe imo.

I mean... It might be another 50 years. U can always take the class over if you fail! (Don't listen to me, I'm a college dropout)

I'll stop the JR jokes for a minute and say congrats to him, that was a touching press conference

Jordan in '93 put up 41.0/8.5/6.3 over 6 games. LeBron was great in these finals, but that performance by Jordan was unbelievable.

I mean, I still think the LeBron vs Jordan comparisons get a bit silly and people need to remember what Jordan did, but the point is LeBron is the best in the league right now, and has been for awhile.

No way was Kobe a better leader either.

I'm still reeling over this game. It was so unbelievably close the entire time, those last 5 minutes were ridiculously tense between both teams not scoring, Bron hurting his wrist, the final shot attempt by Curry and the miss, the whole thing was over in like 2 minutes but it felt like 10.

I don't even want to know how it feels like to be a fan of either team.

this post is basically the go-to formula for people that don't actually watch/understand basketball but invariably consume a lot of nba-related content in the form of espn talk shows, bleacher-report articles, and r/nba responses

outside of LBJ's poor jumper there is nothing basketball-related that Kobe was ever better at than lbj is

DAMN JR just made me cry. Realest shit to come out of this.

Of all the Cavs-Agers that came and went, K. Jack was the realest.

Congrats, fam...I am genuinely happy for fans like you...but it's still fuck you, Dan Gilbert for me. Fucking baby throws a tantrum and still eventually gets his way.

America.

Can you imagine what LeBron would have done if surrounded by killers like Shaq, Horry, Fox, Fish, Odom, etc for half of his career. People forget just how lucky he was to be surrounded by that much talent for so many years.

For a long time --particularly in CLE -- LBJs best teammates were the likes of Jamario Moon, Zedrunys Ilgaskus, And Mo Williams. He has Eric Snow running point half of his young career. His best 3 point shooter was Daniel Gibson. Let that shit sink in and let us remember he took one of those teams to the NBA Finals.


Also, where are the cries of the East being weak now? I don't hear shit suddenly.

Is Lebrons performance vs curry on par with Hakeem taking David robinson's soul after he won the mvp or is it not comparable since they really don't go head to head much?
