    Default It goes against my narrative, but I hope Luka (Kyrie) wins the Finals

    Holy crap that would destroy Lebron's goat case.. It's already destroyed just by Kyrie making the Finals tbh.. The new generation views making the Finals the same as winning it.. Making the Finals is a title of sorts... Let's go Luka!!

    Bro…everyone could see this pivot coming from miles away. Too predictable.

    Celtics win - Kyrie can't win without LeBron
    Mavs win - Bron & Luka ball clearly superior to "expert jump shooting" style

    It isn't a pivot - I believe the Celtics and Tatum will win due to superior brand of ball - but I don't mind Kyrie and Luka winning because it would really hurt Lebron.

    As I stands now, we know that for Lebron to win as 1st option, he needed a sidekick that made the Finals without him

    Lebron already lost because, we know that for him to win as 1st option, he needed a sidekick that made the Finals without him

    Sure it is. If the Mavs win you'll make it about Kyrie and Lebron and steer clear of the Luka-ball stuff you've shat on for years.

    You're much like the brand of ball you claim will lose 3 straight in the finals. We figured you out years ago brother.

    Nah we already saw it in 2016, so we already know that Kyrie is goat key that unlocks everything to beat ball-movement

    Accordingly, I will simply praise Kyrie for being a goat that can topple the best ball movement - an exception to a massive rule - ball movement beats ball-dominance EXCEPT when Kyrie is present

    And ball movement won the last 3 Finals (Tatum, Jokic, Curry)

    MJ needed Pippen just to get out of the first round.

    Both Luka and Lebron will have won a ring with Kyrie as their closer, but the difference is that the next guy up for Luka is either a rookie or a 35% shooting tweener from Charlotte where as Lebron had a 26-13, All NBA second team power forward as his third choice.

    That would be like if Luka had someone like Sabonis as his third option.

    Lebron really always stacked the deck. You never needed 3 all nba players to win a ring before Lebron or after Lebron. Most teams get it done with 2 all stars. Absolutely crazy how Lebron manufactured his wins, he just wouldn't be able to get it done with one all star teammate. Maybe he wins one in his career, sure, but nowhere near the 5 rings.

    Exactly, just give it a rest already 3ball. His trolling is outdated and he needs to retire.

    Kyrie isn't the closer of the Mavs. He has his moments but he is not "closing games out for Luka"

    That's just absurdly inaccurate to say. Wtf
