Again a blow out.
Where is that will to win the game?!
I dont freaking see that now. There is still 4 minutes with just a 20 point lead. You go hassle on full court press and give your all until the buzzer sounds.
That doesnt happen anymore. That freaking garbage time gives me the chills. They are too much careful with the NBA superstars now.
This does not happen in the 80's and 90's. I will understand it if it is the season but what the freak! It is the freaking Finals and that is how they play.
The king my ass!

Lol, the Cavaliers have already given up when they lose game 3 and besides no matter how much effort Lebron James will give to lift the Cavs, it is not still enough for them to win the series.

You really dont understand it do you.
Some players will kill for that shot. They have it right there and what did they do that.
Why surrender? I bet you are not really an NBA fan and just came here to say some nonsense.

The fact that he is called The King now should have a meaning to it.
What's with the slogan "whatever it takes" if they cannot even use it.
They fought hard with Indiana at game 7 and then the number 1 seed.
So hard to get there and they will just give up? That is BS!

No offense meant to all the Lebron James fans here but i just don't know why he is called the King. He has gone to the Finals eight or nine consecutive times and he has only won three of them with his selected team mates. He also stays on the East where the resistance in going to the Finals is not so strong. For me the real Finals for this year is between the Rockets and the Warriors. Now the so-called King will have the luxury again of choosing which uniform to wear and i hope he will land on the West where true competition exist. Just my thought and MJ fan here Grin

.

If you look at his stats he is definitely one of the highest comparable to Michael Jordan if you check it. The difference is that The old school basketball has different capabilities compared to now and almost all of them knows how to shoot three compared to the history. But in the end, the Warriors are the better team.

I agree. Most experts that its not really comparable. Era's to era. During Jordan's time 3 point was not the norm. And we need not to argue using the the ring arguments: Jordan 6, Kobe 5, Lebron 3. How about those part of the great Boston team that capture 9 rings?

We can judge the greatness of Lebron after he retire or get to the Basketball Hall of Fame. But now, let's enjoy how great he was and although he didn't win another ring. I'm sure that he will be one of the greatest of his era.

Honestly, IMO, this 3 point shooting as a norm makes the game boring.
I witness the era of Jordan and I like the physicality they are showing in the game, there is so much intensity unlike now where the warriors
team relies heavily on their 3 point shooting.

If I may add, I won't say its boring but it really changes the landscape of the ball game. There are no true centers, I believed that Shaq is the last one who witnessed dominating the game whatever he wants. And Jordan's era was what? Hakeem, Ewing, Mourning, Motombo and others great centers.

However, when 3 point shooting took over, the guards became the high lite and Steph really make it a notch higher. So what I have said, different eras, different greats, no need to argue who is the GOAT, but with today's generations, Kobe and Lebron is above the rest.

I guess the game has evolved, as you have said, Centers used to be the norm before, but the guards have evolved as well. I remember Shammgod, that dreaded crossover he made famous in the mid 90's, but he was in the wrong era. Good thing though is that he's move is still with us. So I think that if Shammgod played at this era, damn, CP3 or even Steph will not be the top point guard. So yes, Jordan and Lebron's greatness can't be compare.
