Calls himself on being inefficient, but then points directly at his teammates in contrast to himself.

yea he was killing his team mates..you could see his anger

Yea, but he's expecting his teammates to be second and third options, when none of them have the talent to be one. He should just say that they were unfortunate with injuries to two of their top players, but he's proud of the men that were left on the team putting in the effort and going down with a fight.

Well they used to tell me "but that was close to 30 years ago."

But fine - curry was heavily utilized, that's fine and dandy. Let's remember why the notion of "can't win with the pg as your best player" exists in the first place.

Why?

Remember the guys we refer to and those respective teams?

Who?

Look you're one of the smartest guys in here... surely you can understand what I'm talking about.

Lebron is a douche, he blamed Delandova for him getting his head cracked open on the camera.

LeBron goes from team to team looking for help and he's the only dude in the league who doesn't get it, right? I mean there's never been a superstar who is ENTITLED TO GET HELP FOR GODSAKES GET LEBRON SOME HELP HE'S BY HIMSELF GUYS GET HIM SOME HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP.

I'm sorry. I don't give a **** that Jordan had Pippen. LeBron had Wade and Bosh. He made the finals this year. He's got help. Finish the **** job if you wanna be the GOAT. You wanna call yourself the best player in one game and then bitch about help in the other? Come on dawg. Look at teh FT difference and tell me you didn't get help.

LeBron wants pushovers as coach.

Also, lets not forget that the Bulls lost Gasol when they were up 2-1 on the Cavs. Did Rose get enough help?

If LeBron hits a game winner in game 1 they might win this finals. Does LeBron need help hitting that final shot? They had opportunities to win this series, man. If you got the opportunity, there's no excuse.

That's why Jordan is still GOAT. When I watch him, I always think he was unbeatable, and always find a way to win regardless of the situation. Now do I think that Jordan would win a title with this current Cavs finals team? Hard to tell, but I put my money that Jordan would have had a better chance than Lebron.

I'll give it to you that he does talk about it too much.. let the fans and the media talk about it but he should be above that.

U serious? How he blame him for that?

Not sure if anybody else caught it, but it happened moments after he fell and the tv camera caught it when he was on the floor. During the possession, Lebron found Delandova in the corner for 3, Delandova turned down the shot and Lebron wanted him to shoot it so already he was pissed at him, seconds later Delandova found Lebron under the hoop and thats when Bogut pushed him and he cracked his head. The TV camera caught a closeup of when Lebron was on the floor and while he was holding his head Delandova came up to him to check on him and thats when Lebron yelled at him "Its all your fault" and Deli responded with "its not my fault" and Lebron screamed at him "It is your fault, it is your fault". As soon as that happened, security forced the cameras away from the scene.

Mike Dantoni changed the NBA

without him, we would be stuck in low post/iso snore fest.
http://www.cleveland.com/cavs/index.ssf/2015/06/golden_state_warriors_coach_st_3.html

Q. It's fascinating how the game evolves. You've played with Jordan. You've played with Duncan. Could you ever imagine someone like a point guard as Stephen Curry being one of the most unguardable players in the league? How do you think he fits the mold of a transformative player, and how do you think he breaks that mold?

COACH KERR: I imagined it with Steve Nash. Steve was kind of the original Steph Curry. Slightly different, but similar mindset in terms of ‑‑ and similar skillset of passing and the ball handling. And the Suns were so close. Things didn't go their way. But I imagined it. And I was there with Steve as general manager, and I thought it was going to happen for him. But he set the stage for Steph.

I think Steve kind of laid out a vision for a whole generation of young point guards. And with the game changing, Mike D'Antoni kind of initiating that style in Phoenix, the floor starting to spread, the whole league kind of playing shooting fours and fives and playing a little faster.

I think Mike and Steve in many ways set the table for Steph Curry. And I think Steph would tell you that too. He has great respect for Steve.

But he lost

It really is not all that impressive when you consider the opponent. How small the Warriors were and the quick pace they love to play and also when you factor in that most of his assists came from simply dumping it to Mozgov who was a dominant force in the paint. It really isnt hard for me to picture Carmelo Anthony putting up those numbers against the Warriors in a series if he had that team, except I think Melo would have a much better shooting percentage.

I heard that but though it was the security talking to someone....that's interesting.

The way Lebron carried the load was really impressive.

His counting stats were impressive due to what he was able to compile as the only person doing anything, but the efficiency was really poor. It wasn't a GOAT performance, regardless of what the media wants you to believe.
