somehow I don't actually think the warriors will actually win 5 straight championships, not sure how they wont but these things have a funny way of not playing out totally as expected.

Your absolutely right.

But if we can get 2/3 then that is a successful to me

LeBron has clearly shown that his performance to mileage ratio is in unchartered territory.

At this point, you're crazier if you think LeBron won't be able to sustain his greatness till he atleast crosses 35.

barring injuries, the only way to stop warriors is probably another superteam.....or if the spurs, clips, cavs add some real key pieces to their current roster.

why not? duncan, kobe, jordan, shaq all won titles when they were 32 by leading their teams. lebron has been always famous with his athletic superiority. so i guess he can very much sustain a couple of more years than kobe and wade and alike.

lebron already has the same number of minutes played than jordan/shaq had for there whole career. For some one that relies mostly on his physical skill you will see his numbers decrease by quite a bit in the coming years.

do people think Cavs are winning it with Lebron aged 34/35? surely the most likely for cavs will be next year and year after. by 2018 you would think Lebron's impact will be alot lower.

Right, and unlike, say, your boy Durant, LeBron moved to a lottery team (the Cavs in 2014) instead of a championship team. That's a lot of heavy-lifting for an old guy :D

Aliens will invade the earth, but the Warriors will beat them with the stipulation that they return to their planet.

But then the aliens return and win in 2017-2018 then destroy our planet.

I'd be cheering for the Aliens no matter the ramifications, no way I am cheering for the Warriors.
