OT: Cavaliers Win NBA Title

[RuthlessBurgher]

I watch every Steelers game.

I watch every Penguins game.

I haven't watched basketball since I was in high school. I was a casual fan in the Magic/Bird/Jordan era, watching a few games here and there, then would only watch SportCenter highlights during the Shaq/Kobe era, and the extent of my knowledge of the current LeBron/Curry era I learned from reading this thread. I could not name another player on either team.

I have never once watched an entire baseball game, soccer match, golf tournament, NASCAR race, etc. on television. Five to ten minutes into any of that, and I would be asleep on the couch.

No. That would have required watching the entirety of the finals.

I used to love watching basketball but the NBA's product simply isn't very good right now.

That's my point though. You're saying that Lebron played poorly, but I'm telling you the guy had a triple-double every game of the Finals.

BTW, I don't watch NBA anymore either. I also don't watch MLB anymore... MLB is worse. I've probably watched one inning of a game in the last five years! But if you ask me to name the lineups of teams from when I was a kid, I could rattle off some names for you! Now I couldn't even name one guy off every team in the league.

LeBron James became the first NBA player ever to lead all players in points, assists, rebounds, blocked shots, and steals throughout a playoff series. And this was in the Finals against a the defending champions, who set a record for wins in the regular season.

If LeBron could simply come in at QB and lead the Browns to an 8-8 season I'd be much more impressed right now.

I'm not saying he played poorly overall. I'm saying that in the last 5 minutes of the game I was surprised by the shots he missed and the matchups that he failed to exploit. And the same with Curry - bricking a 3, a stupid turnover. Neither one of these guys was exactly Jordan in the clutch..

Even LeBron can't perform actual miracles...

Same here. The game is so discontinuous. Seems like every 30 seconds or so they're interrupting play for some danged foul shots. That's the way the ref's control the game and determine the outcomes, I guess. They should replace foul shooting with penalty boxes just like hockey, and keep the action moving.

Thats because they arent Jordan.. smh.

Its like saying where is Montana? Where are the Hogs?

Bron had a MONSTER block, averaged a triple double, 2 back to back 41 point games to stay alive and was the first team to come from 3-1 down to win a championship... FOR CLEVELAND.

[feltdizz]

thanks to the league

Lol.. the legue didnt jump uo and block that shot or tell Draymond Green to hit people in the nuts 4 times.

We witnessed a Joey Porter, Pacman melt down when Golden State had the series won. Green is an idiot and Curry choked.

I could see if it was 1 game but Golden State had 3 chances (2 at home) to clinch and they couldnt.

Probably the best game 7 I have ever seen.

Other QBs have orchestrated clutch, game winning drives since Montana. Like, say, Ben against Arizona. Offensively, Lebron closed that game out with a whimper. And Curry crapped the bed. As a sports fan, I didn't find it very fulfilling at all.

[SteelCrazy]

The NBA is fixed....the ONLY way Cleveland wins

[Captain Lemming]

Bron had a .......... FOR CLEVELAND.

Right there....nothing more to say.
Dizz wins the debate....BRON is a stinkin miracle worker.
Jordan 9 scoring titles
Fins undefeated season.
Wilts 100 points.
USA over USSR hockey

Leading CLEVELAND to a championship.......THE MOST IMPRESSIVE FEAT IN THE MODERN ERA OF SPORTS.

Now, Cleveland has passed the torch to San Diego...

[RuthlessBurgher]

Now, Cleveland has passed the torch to San Diego...

It's 78 degrees and sunny all year long in San Diego, though.

Championship or not, the only way a San Diegan could possibly ever be more depressed than a Clevelander is if a biker just punted your dog off a bridge and you were in a glass case of emotion.

[Slapstick]

Well, wild fires could also burn your house down...there is that...

Is it San Diegan or San Dieogan?
