KD dominated him on both end of the floor. Heck, that's not passing the torch, that is a good old fashion beatdown and ripped whatever left from lbj's hand.
I've seen a few people mention this. LeBron was the best player in that series and Kyrie doesn't have a prayer to take that shot if LeBron didn't do what he did in those finals.
Not sure what you think Silver did either. If it's regarding Green's suspension, everyone in the world agreed it was the right call. Even still, there's no telling if the Warriors suddenly win that game if he's on the court.
Saying LeBron was the best player in that series, merely looking at the stat line (which KD still best him) is purely silly talk. Cavs is built by LeBron's handpicked player who are overpaid because of LeGM. They had the league's top salary. Just because LBJ built this team to rely on him, does not make him a better player. Ws is built as a team, complimenting each others.
LeBron doesn't have a prayer without without Silver's suspension, we all know that. Saying everyone in the world agreed a butt tap push off over LBJ riding your neck is deserving a suspension shows you are just not looking at things straight. The fact is in those two years before KD, a full team of Cavs never beat a full team of Warriors, either playoff or regular season. Simple as that.
