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 says 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.

You are all correct about him being the KINg because of his stats but if you look at other NBA players they dont have that stats but still have the most rings than him.
Robert Horry is one. Steve Kerr also.
Now Draymond Green. Not much with the stats but his presence can be seen. The defense and his awareness when he steps on the court. Blocks 3 pointers and do great things when much needed.
That is the "will" to win the game.
They just dont have it.
Why stop fighting when there are still 4 minutes left.
You all said it, he have the stats. Then freaking use it!

Well horry and kerr didn't have the bulk of the team's responsibility on their shoulders when they won their rings though. The warriors are just obviously the better team to win the championship for the past 4 years simple as that. Getting 9 times consecutively to the finals isn't an ordinary feat for anyone regardless if you win only one or three championships. I'm by far not a lebron fan but I don't understand why people down play his achievements. Definitely in the conversation for the top 3 greatest of all time
