The Undertakes won 21 straight WWE bouts, The greatest WWE wrestler of all-time, and also went to college on a basketball scholarship. Along with that, he has essentially been a "metamorphic" WWE star throughout his career, performing as many different persona's throughout his 31 year career.

21 straight Wrestlemania bouts

.

And he's the one guy still around from when I was a kid.

I don't care much for the Warriors but they absolutely have to be in the GOAT conversation. And I am not sure where this misnomer comes from that if you are the GOAT team you are completely unbeatable. Sure they can be beat with the right match-up like OKC and even then Klay/Curry went video game mode which is what makes them a GOAT level team for me.

------------------------------

SPears' source isn't LEBron BTW. It's Green himself. Green writes a diary on Undefeated. Spears also has nuggets related to Green all the time. So basically Green is leaking whatever happened on the court.

I still remember his Wrestlemania match vs. Giant Gonzales, think I have an old VHS somewhere.

I quit wrestling when Hulk lost to the ultimate warrior at the skydome in one of their pay per view events (I think wrestle mania). I was 10, a big hulk fan, my best friend at the time was a big ultimate warrior fan. We were talking so much smack leading up to that fight, I was heartbroken. Just stopped watching on the spot. My parents didn't pay for ppv, but back then you could kinda get ppv events even if you didn't pay. I say "kinda" because you got the audio,and the picture was some wobbly mess if you didn't order it but you could still roughly make out what was going on. It's not like today where if you don't have the event you are out in the dark. They didn't have the technology to do that to you back then I guess. So I watched that fight in that wobbly fashion with audio just like all the ppv events back then, barring the few times i could get to a friends house who got it

Shame hulk hogan has turned out to be such a scumbag, I idolized him as a pre teen. Not even just the racist stuff but the comments he made about the kid who his son messed up in a car accident. He's a D-bag. The undertaker was just starting out at that time to my memory. I remember thinking his hype man Paul bearer was just so creepy.

On the Dunc'd On podcast, Nate Duncan said tonight's game is 50/50...Danny Leroux said it's 55/45 in Cleveland's favor.

I'd have to agree. I might give Cleveland close to a zero percent chance to win in a game six (EDIT: yes, even at home), but Green being out is a huge deal. Even if someone believes Curry is significantly more valuable than Green, in this series, Green could very well be the main problem for Cleveland (just like in the last series, he was outmatched, if not a liability at times before he changed how he played, and prior to Kerr changing his rotations).

The way GS wins this game is if they turn on video game mode, as Paulie has dubbed it.

Even with Green out, if the Splash Bros. are hitting those contested deep threes, then you can put a bow on the series.

Three step formula for the Cavs. I could convince myself that they could accomplish any of these steps individually, but doing all 3 is a very tall order

- beat a watered down green-less GSW version in game 5 tonight
- win a home game in game 6
- forces a best of 1 where anything can happen in a game 7. Finals game 7's are notoriously close and lower scoring with guys playing tight as hell given the stakes. All analysis goes out the window

Give them a 5% chance to win this series right now. If they win tonight id take that up to about 15%. If they could force a game 7 id say they have a good 25-30% chance to win that game

One thing to keep in mind...

Kyrie and LeBron looked exhausted in game 4. However, game 3 -> game 4 was the only break where there was a single day off. During the regular season, only back-to-backs, and 4-in-5-nights situations materially affect teams. But when you're playing almost every minute in the game, the extra day off could make a difference. Just something to consider.

Pretty much how I feel with the entire Warriors team and their families turning into little babies:

It’s definitely weird considering they’re 1 win away from the championship. Would be smarter to be all business instead of having fun with the media and the suspension. Would be a really bad look if they ended up losing the series… have all the fun you want after actually winning the championship.

The weirdest thing is the wives and dads getting involved taking shots at Bron :-?

. It's perplexing given how many dirty plays Green gets away with and they are taking shots at Bron. Too bad this Bron can't make them pay.

A lot of people have said how Kyrie and bron looked tired in game 4 so I gotta ask why the hell was that the only game with one day break? Not saying we would have one it just seems odd

What's even more perplexing is Klay crying about mozgod then coming out saying lebron must have gotten his feelings hurt.

Same thing last year. Bro and Delly were gassed as hell in game 4 last year with the chance to go up 3-1. Delly was in the hospital after game 3, I'm pretty sure. An extra day last year could've made a world of difference.

It is ironic, especially since the screen was clean and legal. Kyrie initiated the screen too soon and it resulted in Mozgod not getting set in time, which was out of his control.

Trash talk is all nice and good, but the Warriors are coming off as a bunch of babies to me, especially Curry's wife and Klay's dad trying to get in some body shots. Seems hella cheap. What a bunch of gentrifiers.

Really hoping to see Lebron be huge in this game. If Game 6 were to happen, it might be a more team related effort to win considering both how good the Cavs are at home and how well role players tend to do at home versus on the road. Game 5 will have be Lebron/Kyrie doing some incredible things to keep their title hopes alive. Very excited for this game.

Me too. I can't wait because I know for Cleveland to win LeBron is going to have to have a great finals game.
