funny thing about golden state, they are gritless. without dray, they don't sniff a title even with KD. he's the only one that plays like a dark skin. the rest of the players are trash when it comes to playing through adversity. but yeah, LeBron d1cked them down real good.

[tpols]

Yea Klay was retarded for that. Curry kept humble, and Klay ran his mouth. To make matters worse he played like shit in those NBA Finals.

After all these years, I had no idea LeBron & Lue got into a heated argument at halftime during game 7. Maybe it slipped my mind.

It was all good though. Kyrie saved them from Lebrons what?... 9/24, 47%TS performance?

Agreed. Kyrie was the MVP of that Game 7. And Ironically Klay was his defender.

Thanks to Curry’s defense. Hit the game winner right over him.

Bro... we can't keep agreeing with each other. :oldlol:

Curry kept humble that 2016 season?? Guarantee that this went through LeBron's mind at some point before, during or after game 7.


Jan. 19th, 2016
The Golden State Warriors drubbed the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday, winning 132-98 in a game that was never in doubt. It was a sound beating, one that reminded you why the Warriors are the defending champs and on a record pace this season.

The talking point before the game was Curry’s “trash talk.” I don’t even know if I’d qualify it as that. Before the game in Cleveland, where the Warriors clinched the title last year, Curry said: “Obviously, walking in that locker room, it’ll be good memories. Hopefully, it still smells a little bit like champagne.”

Apparently, this was very offensive to James. I guess he was standing up for the custodial staff of the Quicken Loans Arena, who cleaned out the smell of champagne a long time ago, thank you very much. James left the shootaround on Monday asking the press why no one was calling Curry out for his comment, and on Cleveland.com, they said the Cavaliers players found Curry’s comment “disrespectful.”

Imagine if Stockton outplayed MVP Jordan in the 98' Finals - it's impossible to lose if the sidekick outplays the league MVP, and only Lebron ever had this help - it's unprecedented help, hence the victory.

Carry on

The one ring bron stan’s try to celebrate, steph curry was on one leg and lebron james had to literally call the comish of the league to tamper with an on floor call to get a player suspended


lmao.

[1987_Lakers]

“I’m here, I’m back”

[RRR3]

"LeBron is so great"

"No he's not he's terrible"

"Nuh uh"

"Yeah huh"

"Nuh uh"

"Yeah huh"

LeBron stepping over Draymond Green head is the highest basketball IQ play of all time in the history of the league.


Bron knew Draymond had reached his technical foul limit. 1 more technical = suspension.


Done. Killer instinct.

It’s not whether you win or lose.

It’s how you play the game.


Bron didn’t play the right way, with the team hops, collusions, comish calls…

Even after all that he is still going to go down in the books ultimately as an underachiever, a loser.



A bit tragic, but that’s how it goes.

So beautiful, we will never see a Finals like this again. LeBron said it best "Against all odds"

when you are a perennial choker there is a reason the odds are against you

the whole concept of odds is predicting the probability of the future based on the past

if you have a history of choking the odds will be lowered for you

so it’s a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy

[1987_Lakers]

We all know who the true choker is

Literally the least clutch player in history. Awesome graphic.

LeBron has killer instinct. Manipulating their emotions is part of the game. Baiting your opponent into getting technicals is part of the game.


Underachiever?

He's universally either the GOAT or the 2nd GOAT in almost all media.

Imagine under achieving in life and ending up at worst 2nd all time in a sport.

Regarding Team switching.


LeBron joined a perennial lottery team in Cleveland in 2014. If he had wanted to ring chase he could have join the Warriors in 2014 and rip off 4-5 more rings and FMVPs.

He then joined another perennial lottery team in the Lakers in 2018.


The only time Jordan joined a lottery team later on in his career was on the Wizards, and we all know how that went.

[sdot_thadon]

One of my favorite NBA moments all time. It's crazy looking back how many great games and clutch moments Lebron has given us fans. Not bad for a choker.

[RRR3]

2016 permanently broke warriorfan

[Axe]

Yikes, how could they have blown away a 3-1 lead in the finals with a 73-win team? It's a huge stain on chef's legacy. :biggums:

Ofc, kd had to follow suit to the bay to save their asses so they can secure two titles along the way lmao.
