    It's not a choke if you just get fucking outplayed by the best basketball player to ever walk this Earth.

    LeBron with a legit 2nd option has always been damn near unstoppable.

    Dwade/Bosh 11-13 (both fell off a cliff in 2014): 2 rings, 1 epic finals choke from LeBron where he was used as the 2nd option and Dirk went OFF.

    Kyrie/KLove 2016 (Injured in 2015, then KLove fell off a cliff and Kyrie dipped): Ring

    AD 2020: Dominant, best team in the West and 2nd best in the NBA, possible ring

    2011 was the only year where he had a legit number 2 and didn't win a ring.

    It was a choke though

    Don't get me wrong, Lebron was and is epic. That's why I love it so much. Probably my favorite Finals ever and I go back to Celtics Lakers in the 60's. (Sonics' title excluded)

    But any chance to low tweak the Warriors will not be passed by

    Their titles

    2015 against Hickory High

    2017 after getting KD

    2018 same

    2019 they got the injuries and lost to Canada. lol

    Cavs would have had a very good shot in 2015 with Kyrie. I put no stock in Kevin Love. He never made any difference when it mattered. He sucks. He did stop Curry, although Curry settled for a three.

    In 2016, LeBron got the Cavs to game 7 by playing amazing. Warriors choked in game 7 tho. It was an ugly, low scoring game and they shot terribly. The Cavs didn’t play amazing. Both teams played below average and the Cavs eeked it out with some clutch plays by LeBron and Kyrie at the end.

    People forget that Game 7 in the Finals is often brutal. Kobe pretty much sucked when they beat the Celtics. Needed World Peace to put it away

    Dennis Johnson shot 1 for 13 for the Sonics

    All that being said no team has blown a 3-1 lead in the Finals. Except GS

    Kyrie will always have the three pointer over Steph in Game 7

    And Lebron the block of Andre
