Stat padding. He didn't play that great.

Kawhi clearly outplayed him.
He was better the last two years in the finals then that 2014 finals.

Idk, as long as he comes through I can't definitively say that an L in this finals would take him off of 'goat' status or whatever silly **** people are saying.
They aren't supposed to win. If they do, great. I'm rooting for the cavs to do so, but they aren't the better team. Not close. It is what it is.

he still a top 5 player ever regardless of this year's outcome. Win or loss ain't bumping him higher or down lower.

Don't bail them out so quickly.
This is Lebron's most stacked team by far. He got almost everything he wanted. After that Christmas day game, folks were proclaiming a back to back run for the Cavs.

I would concur. But if he were to like play like **** or something, that would probably knock him down a bit in the eyes of some.
Basketball is a team game though. Bron can play great and the cavs can still get wiped off the floor. They aren't supposed to win. They aren't the favorites so them losing to the warriors isn't that big of a deal to me. Him playing horribly though or subpar would matter way more.

This has nothing to do with bailing them out so quickly.
The warriors were better than them in the regular season. The game the cavs won they had to come back from like down 16 at home, then got washed by like 40. In the finals last year, before Draymond got suspended, the warriors beat the cavs 3 out of 4 times by like an average of 15+ or something. The cavaliers still have defensive issues all over. Idc about how 'stacked' the cavs are because relative to gsw, it doesn't matter.
The Warriors right now have a +16 point differential that eclipses the 01' Lakers. They are on a ride right now. The cavs are not close to the warriors. At least I don't think.
But that's why we play the games. I love LBJ so if I'm wrong i'll gladly be that but I just don't see it at this very moment. Things change though.

people just can't appreciate nice things without wanting to call everything the greatest ever.

This is essentially the equivalent to Jordan having to go through a team as good as the 96 Bulls instead of playing for the 96 Bulls.
And its awesome.

Hypothetically Bron ends up 3-6 or 3-7 in the finals. Still top 5?

I've seen longer versions of this angle and the thing that always gets me is the amount of people leaving behind the basket. Not even caring what is going on in a game seven in a close game with under a minute left.

True.
But i'd argue that at this very moment, the warriors in the playoffs are better than they were last year in the playoffs.

not even a Kobe fan.
And I don't think anyone is discrediting anyone.we just talking.
I think everyone agrees your love is top 5. Chill out and stop being so defensive.
