Won't be either
NBA Finals 2016-2017 - Golden State wins NBA title 4-1 vs Cleveland Cavaliers...great series!!!
Absolutely NO defense on this squad...
I don't think it's that simple.
I don't think Curry would be so quick to relinquish that designation.
bird won 3 out of 5 bron is 3 and 5...amazingnessNah... he was just a better winner
Nah... he was just a better winner
You can say that but Im not sure that elevates him above LeBron though.
Still, i see alot of people say Bird was a better scorer, but whats that based on?
I liked Kerr as the coach but didn't like either of those bootleg lbj choosen coaches, I just felt bad that Kerr came back to coach after they were up in the series...
We didn't start this super team shit.
Also we grew our super team from pieces people didn't want. Minnesota drafted 2 guards over Curry, 2 of them after watching him and 4 dudes working at walmart right now go to the elite 8 on the strength of him being on the got damn court.
That's why I don't know why anyone is TRULY surprised. Him and 4 dudes stocking boxes overnight were good enough to go to the elite 8 in major ncaa competition on the strength that everything ran through his ability to dominate.
Nobody was after Klay
Draymond went in the 2nd round.
and they won a ring without KD
and got back to the finals and blew a 3-1 lead in the finals where it could have been 2 in a row.
Then they said let's get KD because why wouldn't you say let's get KD? every team says let's go get this guy. No team... NO TEAM says nah we're good we don't need anyone, including the cavs who made 90 moves this year after making moves last year and the year before hand picking this team to win.
We not gonna weep for a team that went 12-1 in the eastern conference playoffs. we just not.
Any dude in the east need to not worry about the warriors. Focusing on trying to beat Lebron or at least competing before you even comment on what the warriors do
I never said it did. This was a point-counter point response.
Question, do you elevate Bill Russell ahead of Wilt? If yes or no, why for either?

down 25 in 1 game don't mean they gonna win 4 games. it don't mean anything other than they might have stolen game 1 and if you don't look at that game and can clearly see the shit was rush in how they were playing then you're not trying to be honest at all.
Someone in here pointed that the spurs dominated in game 1 of the season as a sign that they'd win the series
and then didn't mention how the warriors dominating them in san antonio WITHOUT DURANT the last time they met in the regular season
Some real shit here, people stay talking shit about Kobe-stans (Bomani Jones and mush mouth Amin Elhassan) but never acknowledge that Lebron has much more emotionally invested stans, the difference is that many of the people putting out those narratives are the Lebron-stans
They were blown out in game 4 and won the series in game 5 lil fella so?
I got Russell over Wilt because Russell defined what winning team basketball is.
Rings count for alot of course but its only part of the story when looking at individual careers.
I just did some research: People are saying Lebron was outgunned. Do you guys realize, of all the All-Stars between the two teams NOT named Lebron or KD, everyone's production fell below their regular season numbers. The ONLY guy who played ABOVE his regular season level was Kyrie Irving.
The reality is, Lebron had more help from Kyrie than Durant had from Steph. Kyrie shot better from the field AND from three, AND averaged more points. Kyrie also had less turnovers than Steph.

i hope they do
Lebron wasnt outgunned.
Durant wasnt helped more or less.
The Warriors are a much better basketball team.
Thats all that happened there.
Numbers usually drop a bit across the board in the finals for everyone cause the games are much harder then regular season games.
Talk like that is meant to try to get in players head and fuck up the team. The Warriors are a great TEAM, last year Steph was the face of the Warriors but it wasn't his team. The Warriors are just like the Pistons with Chauncey Billups, Rip and the others, a group of guys that played as a team with no "i'm the man" players
This team is unique. Without all of them their single efforts wouldn't be enough.
What about the other Warriors players how did they fair against the other Cavs players?
The weakest move I've ever seen... Ever!
You see nothing wrong with a team that set the record in wins for a season for the entire 70 yr lifespan of the nba adding an mvp to their roster?
Had Durant chosen to go to the Cavs how much shit would you be talking now?

Durant went to a championship team and won a championship....Congrats to him...If OKC management catered Westbrook more maybe they felt Durant didn't have leadership qualities...Every man isn't a alpha male..
In my opinion the cavs def aren't a super team..Kyrie has his spurts and is a great finisher but he's not consistent enough.
Kevin Loves game speaks for itself...
I'm by no means a LeBron fan boy,I just give him his props for making his team mates better...His impact on the game is to be admired...No other player can go to any team and make them instant contenders...

too much truthDurants decision to join the Warriors was solely based on the terror LeBron put in him...We aren't focusing enough on why Durant ran to golden stare
kinda like karl malone being the person who scored the most points ever without winning a chip.. being the only guy who average a triple double and losing in the finals is not something cool to say
Who put fear in LeBron to make him join the Heat. Dwight?
i guess lebron ran to miami cause of fear of dwight howard or fear of paul pierce
i guess lebron ran back to the cavs of fear of texas teams
dwight howard/ paul pierce.. than texas had him run back to cleveland
Jordan dickriders and Kobe stans. Living vicariously thru who he plays since they couldnt beat him.
