Don't know about that, but it's definitely LeBron's best game in my eyes. That was mesmerizing to watch. First half was as good as anybody's ever played with those stakes -- road game, facing elimination, another blown championship opportunity.

Awesome game from Lebron...tbh i really feel Lebron has turned this series on its head.

I know some ppl gave him flack for instigating that suspension on Dray on g4...but thats what winners do ... find a way to get momentum and get the win.

Found some new respect for LBJ by following that up with 2 beastly games. If he can pull this off...there should be no debate on his position in atg and his legacy

Good to see Lebron going insane. He deserved to be Top 3 GOAT but he has to earn that in Game 7. So I advice his fanboy and hater alike to wait to make such statement.

He looked like a combo of MJ and Magic tonight. Just an amazing performance.

I just don't see how this isn't his best game of all time. It has the defining moments. Curry block and stare down, Draymond block, alley oop from JR, 18 straight, 27 of last 30 or whatever it was.

Boston was crazy. But that was an old team that was on its last legs.

This is arguably the best team of all time. 73 wins. In the finals. And he just picked them apart like he was playing the Hawks again. He scored at will and was the best defensive player on the court, too.

This is his magnum opus.

This could possibly be the most epic jinx attempt I've ever seen on this site, but if it's not - then the world must be coming to an end if JB's gonna pull for LBJ.

Unreal game by him. So poised under pressure. So dominant throughout. Amazing how he finds the energy to dominate on both ends all game long.

Called that he would get an all-timer in game 6, but that was if they won game 4 and somehow won game 5 as well.

The arguments going on about what's his best ever game remind me of the ones about what's his peak.

Anyone got a replay of the game?? Or even just 3rd quarter 5 mins left until the end...

He's gonna need that and more to win game 7 on the road. I expect Curry and Klay to have their 2k cheese on...


Then I'm going to make the asinine bold prediction and say this series is over and the Cavaliers win their first title. These last 2 games might be the best 2-game stretch I've seen in an NBA Finals and Lebron is the architect of it all.
The Warriors haven't faced this kind of adversity. They recovered impressively from being down 3-1 against OKC, but in my opinion OKC (not statistically but watching the games) took themselves out of the series with abandoning all the reasons that gave them the 3-1 lead and reverting to boneheaded ISO heroball.

Not Cleveland. Everyone is dialed in, the momentum is there, they've won G5 in the Oracle Arena already and by the looks of it they took the Warriors their soul.

Statistics and history favor the Warriors, but my gut tells me this is over and it will be another blowout. Cleveland in 7.

13.2 BPM now. 3rd highest in a Finals run (91 Jordan 13.8, 77 KAJ 14.8).

From a pure excellence point of view, I have this as best yet. The level of competition, the all-around dominance in every facet, the control of the game from start to finish, the efficiency, the defense...it was as complete a performance as you will ever see. His other ATG games were mostly notable for huge scoring outbursts, but he had it all last night.

Unbelievable that we get to see him go for the title on Sunday.

43 minutes at the level of intensity he plays with is just insane. TT doesn't get nearly enough credit for his abnormal motor and hustle.

Hold on my man, I'll reverse jinx like a pro in the Stephen Curry ànd Draymond Green thread. We got this.

I don't think I ever rooted for another team like this before. I've always been a Lebron James fan since he came into the league, but now I'm really rooting for the Cavaliers as well. I truly hope they finish things off on Sunday.

35.1 Finals PER is the 2nd highest I see on RealGM after 02 Shaq (38.5). Would need a ~60 PER night.

Last night, 42.5 Game Score translated to 55.9 PER, but pace is usually faster in GS, but Game 7's tend to be grind-out so who knows.
