As much as people say dirk earned his title bla bla bla LeBron sorta did too ...he won with the team that drafted him...for his 3rd ring...I like dirk but he hurt his legacy by staying in Dallas so long..1 playoff series win besides 2011 since 2006...think about that ...that finals almost ruined his legacy cause if he never had the 2011 run man he would be known as a choker with only 9 play off series wins...dudes 13-15 in playoff series regardless

Everyone can debate whether he's better than MJ and all that stuff all they want, but i'm not gonna get into that. But I will say, this has to be the single greatest achievement in basketball. Down 3-1 to a 73-9 team with the greatest shooter in NBA history, and storming back with back to back 40 point games, triple doubles left and right, leading all players in basically every statistical category? I am a Kobe fan and a Laker fan, but I will not deny greatness. So congrats to Lebron, and thank you for saving the NBA from Curry, the Nutcracker, and their bandwagon nation. If nothing else, Lebron and the Cavs should at least be appreciated for that.

[@sedcdf]

Warrior are gonna pursue Kevin Durant. It's reported that Kevin Durant is interested of joining the Golden State Warriors. lol, Bangwagon still gets another chance.

Warriors didn't have Bogut and Draymond for 2 of their losses, you could also say. The only real reason the cavs won is because of the hunger for revenge. Which is why I advise bandwagons to stay spurs and warriors fans, both teams have a job to do that was supposed to happen this year. They coming

[@ThePsp123789]

Bogut hardly played any minutes LOL. Also they had draymond in games 6 and 7 and they still didn't pull it off. They also had a chance in game 5, the game was super close even though Green was suspended but they still couldn't do it. Face it the warriors lost to a better team.

[@mikkifarmer9626]

The Cavs have never been to the NBA Finals before LeBron James came to that organization, let alone win a title.The Cavs owner Dan Gilbert should be extremely thankful that LeBron came back to that organization and he owes him the deepest of apologies for how he treated LeBron when he left for Miami.

[@mach6893]

What do you expect? Big Dan is a 1% crony wall street snake oil salesman with too much of an ego. I never liked him as an owner and as a person.

[@JSSTyger]

Why do people like you not look at both sides equally? LeBron bolted Cleveland in just about the most unprofessional manner possible. LEBRON disgraced the team that night by keeping it a secret and making into a show on national TV. I am a Cavs fan for over 20 years now and Dan Gilbert spoke exactly what everyone in Cleveland was thinking. LeBron showed ZERO respect for what he left behind. Why shouldn't Dan Gilbert be mad? He catered to LeBron James. The only thing you know is what happened after the show.

[@mach6893]

+JSSTyger I agree that Lebron handled it poorly. Big Dan wouldn't have ripped Lebron if Lebron held a press conference in Cleveland and was honest about how he felt. +Mikki Farmer That said, Lebron should also be thankful that Big Dan welcomed him back with open arms.

[@JSSTyger]

Mach68 I mean, look at how Pat Riley has had to completely bite his tongue to avoid being a hypocrite. LeBron did things that simply made him irate. I was told LeBron would request the Miami team spend the night in Cleveland when they played there. Spoelstra would tell Riley and Riley would explode. It was like catering to a newborn. LeBron is one of the greatest athletes ever, but has the emotional state of a child.

[@jameslam3625]

You are pulling that 'staying in Cleveland' incident completely out of context. Lebron only offered to have the team stay over in Cleveland on 2013 Thanksgiving, where he invited the WHOLE TEAM to stay one night for Thanksgiving dinner, otherwise the team would have to spend Thanksgiving in a Toronto hotel. Seems like a decent reason to me. Sources: theundefeated.com/features/lebron-james-and-the-battle-with-two-presidents/ www.cbssports.com/nba/news/maverick-carter-takes-issue-with-phil-jacksons-comments-about-lebron-james/ And I would have no problem with Lebron disgracing/insulting/degrading the Cavaliers organization. It is pretty clear to me that before Lebron came back, the Cavs were COMPLETELY dysfunctional. After Lebron left, they went from a 61 win team to 19 wins. Even by the 13.14, they still only had 30-ish wins. They even drafted Anthony Bennett 1st overall. Kyrie was a no-brainer, and that draft pick was the only thing that they did right. Lebron practically runs the entire organization for Gilbert now, effectively rebuilding the team by making the Shumpert/J. R. Smith go through and also attracting Love to sign with the Cavs. He also installed a new culture within the organization At least 90% of their recent success is the results of his work. On the other hand, Gilbert has done nothing significant to contribute to the team. Why would anyone defend such an incompetent manager?

This is forever my favorite finals. You guys just don't understand how amazing this title was for Cleveland to had pulled it out... -In the regular season, Cavs lost to this team on Christmas day, and the Warriors blew them out the water in the second game. If you remember, Golden State started the season like 25-0 or something, sorry I can't remember and the Cavs throughout the whole season were struggling to manage a balance and had their ups and downs. -I loved this postseason so much because it forever proves that regular season does not matter, at all. The only thing that really matters is seeding. -The odds on Cavs winning this series was so not in their favor. If I can remember correctly, it was like a 20% to 30% chance of winning. -Cleveland hasn't had a title in 52 years. -The Warriors have the best regular season in NBA history, second best home court, coach of the year, unanimous MVP who made 400 threes in a season, record for most 3s in a season. -Cavs were the severe underdogs, everybody was saying Warriors in 5, Warriors in 6 etc. Me personally I predicted a finals rematch but in the beginning of the season I said GS in 6, but then i think a few months later I changed it to Cavs in 6 becuase I just knew LeBron was gonna somehow get his revenge I didn't know how they would do it though. -The Cavs LOSE the first 2 games, and both of them were pretty much blowouts, most people had Cavs getting swept, except for me. -Cavs win game 3, but in game 4 LeBron didn't play his best and was apparently the "cause" of Green's suspension, and almost everybody hated LeBron after game 4. -I was praying to God for the Cavs to win game 5 somehow someway because I wanted all the haters to shut up. Thompson started talking shit, Green talked shit, and the world hated LeBron so for the Cavs to win game 5 never have I been so happy. Game 5 to me was more of an impressive win than game 7, just my opinion. I still can't believe they won game 5. -BTW MOST people had Golden State closing out the series whether it was game 5, 6 or 7, they didn't care, everyone doubted the Cavs. -LeBron comes back again with another 40 point game in game 6. His confidence level just skyrocketed out of nowhere and nobody could stop him in the last 3 games. -And lastly, game 7, people don't realize that Golden State coming back from 3-1 wasn't really that impressive since all they had to do was win their 2 home games and then just win 1 on the road like they should had already. The Cavs however, had to win 2 games on the road in a row, and 1 at home. They freaking shut Curry down this series too. With about 3 minutes to go it was anybody's game and for the Cavs to had been able to pull of off still is impressive. -Finally, LeBron has forever been put in the top 5 greatest players of all time just because of this finals. And has always been the best player in the world. -I still can't believe the Cavs won this series. They had all the odds against them, but they did it.

[@SuperGamer87]

That gray in LeBron's beard is the truest testament to the weight he's carried for the city of Cleveland. You don't get gray hairs at the age of 31, without some real pressure. Similar to how many Presidents are almost completely-grayed by the end of their stressful presidency, LeBron's carried his administration, if you will, for a long time. Since he was 17 years old, when you think about it. Can you imagine that? Carry an entire city's expectations for over 13 years, all your adult life. Perhaps even longer, since some in Cleveland watched him grow up as a prodigy in school, waiting for his growth with longing eyes.

[@SuperGamer87]

By the way, while it's certainly easy to dismiss most GSW fans as "bandwagon," and probably to a large degree they are, but some of those folks simply aren't. GSW has had a loyal fan base before the swollen numbers and heightened interest surrounding Golden State. You have to account for some of them being true-blue longtime fans who themselves likewise experienced decades-long drought in sports before last year, and some just being folks who respect what greatness these Warriors have proven themselves to be. Because the Warriors lost, not because they're not great, but because they got a bit too comfortable being great and greatly underestimated other greatness. That's sorta' a good problem to have, moving forward. They can fix that problem, and losing takes care of half if it. Losing taught them respect. Losing will mature this Warriors team for the better, I think. Also, I'll point out that even among the general crowd, bandwagon fans or not, there were quite a number of folks in GSW jerseys giving LeBron and the Cavs a hand, as a show of sportsmanship. Sometimes, one just has to respect greatness when they see it.--esp. in such historical fashion. You wouldn't see that kind of behavior in, say, Madison Square Garden. I also liked seeing the number of GSW fans greeting their team after the loss. They know the Warriors are still a formidable team, and true fans are born through how you support your team during loss (esp. one as huge as this one). Even the Warriors didn't seem to take the loss as hard as you'd think, probably because it hadn't sank in yet at that point, but also probably in part because they know they'll see next year, with humbled but hungry again, and fans will be ready to support them. I rooted for the Cavs, and I congratulate them. But I just wanted to give a bit of respect to GSW and their fan base, just for showing some sportsmanship about their loss. I look forward to another great season of NBA basketball--one probably even more exciting than this year.

[@WxKENTAExT]

so true bro this my first time seeing lebron with grey hair it's weird bt I'm glad he got his for his city the guy has been under so much pressure for years I mean even as a 17 yr old kid this man is truly great I hope now that he got his chip his stress level can go down and he can play truly free that's gonna b exciting to watch he also has most of these guys returning next can we think repeat

LeBron James Led Both Teams In Points Rebounds Assists Steals and Blocks And Became The First Player To Do it in a 7 Game Series and First To Do it in a 7 Game Series in NBA Finals History.

[@jizzoni]

Absolutely legendary

[@medit84truth]

I don’t want to hear shit about Bogut being injured. Last year Golden State didn’t have to face one starting point guard through the entire playoffs. The one game they did, they gave up 22 points to a hobbled Mike Conley. Also, in the finals against Cleveland, it took them six ‘CLOSE’ games to beat one man (Lebron). If Golden State gets full credit for last year’s championship without any negative caveats, then don’t throw shade at Cleveland for their victory.

[@UltraX34]

Exactly. In my opinion last year's championship was a fluke, I mean, look at the teams they played! Injured players on EVERY SINGLE TEAM.

naw its worse because that was one play in one game. Warriors lost 3 straight 2 at home lmfao

[@alexlawson7022]

Nah. Completely different things. 49 was a play that seemed wide open but Malcolm Butler, who didn't exist before that game btw, made a historic play to shut it down. Golden State just got exposed in the last 14 games of the postseason.

I'm a Miami Heat fan, I liked LeBron when he was on the team, but when he left I hated him. I honestly hoped he never won a title in Cleveland, but this year as I saw the Warriors dominate, and the Cavs were pushed through obstacles and looked to have no chance, but I saw LeBron through that, I started to hate him less and like him more and more. When he went down 3-1 I saw the passion in his eyes, he's not MJ, Kobe, or Kareem, but he's a god damn legend, he's driven to do the impossible, and he did the impossible. He came back 3-1 to the greatest regular season team ever while playing on a Cleveland sports team. He just moved into the top 3 all time right behind MJ and Kobe.
