    LETS HEAR IT #DUBNATION WE'RE GONNA REPEAT!!!! WHAT A HUGE UPSET FOR OUR GRITTY UNDERDOG TEAM WITH THE 2 BEST SHOOTERS ON THE PLANET INCLUDING A UNANIMOUS MVP. OUR 4 ALL STAR STARTERS AND A DPOY HAD TO GRIND ALL SERIES TO BEAT THE CAVS. DEFYING THE ODDS EVERY STEP OF THE WAY!

    Superteam...blah blah blah..

    Other than the fact that the two best shooters and the DPOY were originally drafted by the Warriors.

    "Going to Boston would kill two birds with one stone. LeBron would be in a position to break Bill Russell’s record of 10 consecutive NBA Finals appearances (he is currently at eight between Miami and Cleveland), while simultaneously removing the biggest obstacle in his path. It would be the exact opposite move that Kevin Durant made. Instead of joining a team that eliminated him and had already won a title, LeBron would be partnering with a group of young up-and-comers whom he had beaten almost single-handedly. Nike could sell it as LeBron imparting his wisdom to the next generation of players.

    There would be pushback from fans and the media, but LeBron knows how quickly that can change. He was the most hated athlete in America after The Decision, and no one holds that against him anymore. Even his hometown fans in Cleveland wouldn’t be that mad this time around, since he’s leaving after “winning one for the Land.” American society is a prisoner of the moment. It won’t matter how LeBron’s move to Boston is initially perceived if he ends up beating Golden State, easily the most talented team of all time. It would be great for the NBA as well, since LeBron going up against the Warriors on equal terms would likely create the highest-rated Finals in the past 20 years."

    Did the Warriors really just have Steph jack up shots to win the MVP? 12-27 in a 25 point blow out? Lol. Is there anything this team does that isn’t fraudulent?

    I'd argue every ring is fraudulent. Irving/Love injured 2015 + adding Durant to a 73 win team 2017, 2018 (far and away the #1 bitch move in the history of sports). Win 4 more titles and it won't make a difference. Not impressed <3
