I have no rooting interest other then the Knicks. I go by what I see
Judging by your comments about Lebron you are the fanboy with an agenda.
No, no, I'm not. I'm ready to respect most NBA players, their abilities and also their legacies. LeBron's ability too. He's just a terrible character. Personally, I just hate his demeanor and I'm simply not ready to overrate him and his three championships after he promised 8 and called himself GOAT. He has major flaws (which are commonly ignored), had great teammates when successful (which is generally downplayed) and was still beaten again and again by various teams in the Finals or before. People act like his championships count double and I simply disagree. That's all. He's definitely good.
Taking away from Curry is ridiculous though and deep inside you know it. They simply swept Portland when dudes like you were already counting them out. You're making the same mistake again, but whatever.
Lebrons “good” but you have no agenda?
You say people downplay the talent around Lebron what about the talent around Curry? He’s played on loaded teams.
Please tell me you don’t think Curry’s as good as Lebron
Before the Finals started, I was convinced GSW would win in 6 games or less. Consequently he'd have surpassed LeBron on my list after what he did to Lillard and for owning four, not three rings. Well he didn't.
So I'll take it for what it is. Both have three, both are great players. Nothing more. After how the Finals played out, there wasn't more that the Warriors/Curry could have possibly done, so I take it for what it is. I was rooting for Kawhi anyway , but I'll keep it in perspective.
But unlike you, I don't fault Curry, who played incredible playoffs, for something that wasn't possible. I repeat, unlike you, I'm trying not to get hyped up too much and I think you'll eat your words soon.
That said, concerning LeBron, who is not only good but even great if that makes you very happy, how far could he have taken a lineup of Livingston, Iguodala, Green and Cook in that fourth quarter, considering that Kawhi has always had his number and he can barely shoot a three to save his life
Now this is all you'll hear from me about this. LeBron's great, not perfect and an all time great moron - but dude, he wasn't even in the playoffs. Curry was in the Finals in the West this year, without KD, basically without Cousins and in the end without Klay and he almost outlasted the basketball gods. That last shot could have very well gone in. He was great. You seem crazy for ignoring that. It truly is embarrassing and you should consider simmering down.
