Got to give LeGOAT the MVP now

[UNT Eagles 2016]

This series proves Kawhi is up there, though...

Westbrick can't win it because the 1st round proved he's an inefficient stat mongering chucker and choker. He's probably one of the least valuable team players in the league.

Harden? It's really hard to argue for his case after that last series, particularly the games that mattered.

Meanwhile LeBron is 8-0 and will probably be 16-2 in this year's playoffs before the heat of the summer kicks in.

[dabom]

Lebron wont even play a team as tough as the grizzlies, let alone the rockets or warriors before he goes to the finals. :lol

[Fireball]

Lebron is still the best player... but Kawhi should be the MVP of the 2016-17 regular season

[99 Problems]

Cavs primed for back to back.

Iggy sore knee, Barnesy looked almost finished today tbh.
No bigs should they be needed.
Clay was bad. He doesn't know where he fits with KD so no chance in hell I know.
Draymond, I'm not sure how his team will keep him from a suspension.
Javale and Stevie Curry passing the rock to fans in row3

Agreed.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

LeBron is clearly the best player since MJ. He can play seemingly any position if required, he's a natural talented player with a gifted athletic composition, and he can score triple doubles any time he wants if he's needed. He also learnt to not be selfish when it wasn't required. To me there hasn't been anything else like this since MJ retired. But that's just my opinion and I'm completely not a Lebron homer.

Yup. Cavs have an easy road to the Finals, per par. LeGOAT and Company will be rested and ready to feast on a dinged up Warriors team. Cavs in 6. LeREPEAT.

[Mikeanaro]

Lebron vs Durbeta has a 18-5 record, Durbeta cant possible be a more accomplished beta.

[Horse]

No Zaza then Kawhi than Lebrick

LeGOAT is breaking some backs just about now

I agree.

On pace for about a 50-point game tonight. CLINIC.

He won't sniff 50, though, because he'll sit the 4th quarter.

This series is going to be quick and painless.

[jimbo]

Most impressive part is still his durability. Dude probably would have stomped through Zaza's foot tbh

[Fireball]

never seen such a layup drill in a conference final series

[Play Boban]

It's a regular season award tbh.

[TampaDude]

Mother of god what a beatdown. The Garden is burning.

Lebron wouldn't have faded away with a jumper. He would have put his shoulder down and driven to the paint. KL isn't a physical specimen like Lebron, though to us mortals I'm sure he's still pretty imposing in person. KL doesn't have the handles Lebron has, yet, but he has a much better touch inside not using glass, and his defense is unmatched in the NBA, not even Bowen was that good.

[tenbeersbold]

Leloser accomplished exactly zero before he joined a superteam and then bolted and assembled another super team in the talentless west.
Out west he'd be banged up and humbled by the superior competition.
He's chosen the hide from the best players/competition purposely his whole career in pursuit of personal stats/glory.Coasts throughout the regular season then becomes such a "warrior" lol,during the playoffs
Bitchmade coward,not even a top 50 player ever
Y'all is dumb.2007 Cavs sweep is the real Leloser and don't forget it

[davidbowie]

lebron is the best to ever play. the end.

It's the other way around champ. Players are afraid of LeBron. So they all stay out west.

[barbacoataco]

Agree that Lebron is best since Jordan. Not sure if the blatant PED use will ever catch up with him. He could turn out to be another Barry Bonds/Lance Armstrong whose accomplishments are dismissed after the fact.

[Keepin' it real]

Am I in the wrong forum again?

Which player is clean?

[CGD]

What the hell happened to Boston? Man they sucked ass.

It is pretty annoying that Lebron has gotten to coast his way to the conference finals/finals being in the East for nearly his whole career. He's still the best player in the league though.

He was born in Ohio. He had no control over that.

Tell me, what player in the West has been better than LeBron over the past decade?

[NameLess Scrub]

Lebron is a historically great player. Not denying it.

But :lol @ this superteaming, east playing crap. When was the last time an ECF looked so lopsided, with a team looking so ridiculously superior to the other?

WCF looking the same, except it required some "tweaking".

Rings count the same no matter your conference.

Agreed. They count no matter what. Today's NBA philosophy.

This. I too could think he's been playing in a weak east but he has won against the best west teams, and has lost too. But we aren't talking just about rings. If you look at his physique, what he can do if he just wants to do it and then there's really no one who has come closer to MJ in the past 20 years.

Yup. Just ask the 2016 Warriors how good LeBron is.

[Ice009]

I think Lebron is a great player, but I don't fully respect his run of 6 straight finals appearances because the East is so weak. I honestly think the Spurs could have made 5 or so in a row from 2012 to now if they played out East too. It's not that impressive to me. Once you get to the finals anything can happen, but the point to me is that he hasn't had to push himself to the limit in getting there IMO. I think that it's less fatiguing both mentally and physically playing in the Eastern Conference. If he was in the West, I seriously doubt he would have made 6 straight finals with the teams he's had - I could be wrong on that, but that is my stance on it. I think he's had a huge benefit playing in the East.

That's pretty much how I feel about it. Imagine if Prime Tim got to play in the east. He probably has a Bill Russell type of run when it comes to championships.

Wasn't it Lebron that was on the ground riving in pain when lee touched the back of his neck?

Isaiah Thomas is injured now :lol
