LeBron did all he could in this series. It was effectively over when Kyrie went down (and was already a long-shot before that).
This tweet sums up how much heavy lifting LBJ had to do: Without LeBron James on the floor this series.JR Smith 0/9 FGDelly 0/7 FGJ. Jones 0/3 FGShumpert 0/2 FGTotal 0/21 FG— Tom Haberstroh (@tomhaberstroh) June 17, 2015
Most wins in a NBA season: [87] Bulls 95-96 (with Steve Kerr)[84] Bulls 96-97 (with Steve Kerr)[83] #GSW 14-15 (with Steve Kerr)— MisterChip (English) (@MisterChiping) June 17, 2015
Agree Although I think they win with love n kyrie because the other role players were awful scoring wise and he weight is slightly lifted from lebron
But was he the most valuable player on that team? I mean, I can see them winning without Iggy, can't say the same about Curry. And also the FT% - 35? Nah. Kawhi was far more impressive on both ends.
Though again, I could be wrong. Things started to go downhill for the Cavs when Iggy was starting. I guess those FT are the only thing bugging me. Meh. Screw the Warriors, I still hate them. @os_mutante can't wait till Lance makes Curry his b*tch.
It's incredible that LeBron has essentially dragged his teammates that have consisted of Ilgauskas, Pavlovic, Marshall, Eric Snow, Shumpert, and Mozgov to the finals. LeBron is that kind of player. And kudos to the Warriors. Fun team to watch, and to Kerr. Kerr just seems like such a cool guy.
Green has a tendency to do that. It's a Saginaw thing, I think. He did it at Michigan State quite a bit, too.
I will be glad once the newbies, trolls and casuals will be gone from this thread now that the NBA finals are over Btw you think we should create a new NBA draft thread or just continue draft talk, trade and draft rumors on this thread... .

If you think Lebron's going to be forgotten as a stat guy in 10 years that is incredibly foolish. Or if you think people will just remember this series as LBJ losing again.
Keep the celebrations in here. They are well deserved. But for those who are ready to move on (sorry Lebron, Hendrixforpope, Henchag) http://forums.bigsoccer.com/index.php?threads/2021204/
lebron will be remembered but in 10 years nobody is going to talk about lebron's performance in a losing effort against golden state.
That is if Dray stays in GS. Lance will make you dance! I can already see Bogut make his best Matrix impression:
Draymond will leave and so will Klay. Bogut is about to have one of those ''miss the whole year'' seasons as well.
