When people say Kyrie should've gotten finals MVP or that Steph was better than LeBron, that stat line was all you needed to know. LeBron is the only player to ever lead both teams in a playoff series in points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks. There were players whose main roles on the team were just to score, just to rebound, just to play make, or just to defend. Nobody did more than LeBron. He didn't do it in the first round against a fringe playoff team either. He did it in the NBA finals against a two-time consecutive and first unanimous league MVP on a 73-9 team, the best record in NBA history, to bring the first major professional sports title to an entire city in over half a century by being the first and only finals team to ever succesfully come back from a 3-1 deficit.

Here’s where I disagree: when the Warriors were relatively healthy, the Warriors were up 3-1, and that’s with Steph playing on a bad wheel. Everyone remembers that Draymond got suspended for game 5, but no one remember that Bogut got hurt early in game 5 and missed the remainder of the series. Iguodala also played the second half of the series injured… this isn’t an attempt to put an asterisk on the Cavs title. They earned it. But, the narrative surrounding that title has become how Herculean an effort and amazing accomplishment it was to come back from the 73 win Warriors team after going down 3-1. The truth is, the Warriors were a shell of that team by the second half of that series. The Warriors lost the battle of attrition, similar to how the Cavs lost it the previous year with Kyrie and Love both injured. If both teams are healthy, the Warriors win that series in maybe 5 games but definitely 6. The Cavs victory isn’t what the narrative suggests

Let’s tell them the real reasons: Curry playing on MCL and ankle injuries Bogut getting hurt in game 5, missing 6-7 Barnes couldn’t throw a rock into the ocean games 5-7 Green getting suspended for that soft tap after someone stepped over him, in the finals

Greatest finals ever

While I have to give them their flowers, it took a momentum shift for them to win. Suspension + injury. Don't debate me here. Plus, I would consider Bron the GOAT if he beat the '17 Warriors with KD. And Kyrie is still an all-star despite nominally he wasn't in 2016.
