chw42 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 19, 2016 -> 09:45 PM) 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I am legit elated for LeBron. Bye bye haters. Ok, promise fulfilled now come to the Bulls. Favorite non-Bull ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 QUOTE (Boogua @ Jun 19, 2016 -> 09:45 PM) 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 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.

caulfield12 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 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. espn.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigHurt3515 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 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.

caulfield12 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 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.
