It's funny because LeBron went ice cold down the stretch, too. Kevin Love "stayed in front" of Curry as he dwindled the clock picking between an open shot or a slightly more open shot, but had a major gaff a few minutes earlier when he was guarding no one under the basket in transition and let Green have a wide open 3 that missed. Van Gundy inexplicably praised the Cavs for their rotation on the play.

Also twice in the final two minutes JR Smith threw his hands up demonstratively because Kyrie wouldn't give him the ball :lol: In game 7, of the NBA Finals... this guy is now a champion :lol: When you look at the podium for the Cavs, there's like maybe 5 players that could make the rotation for the Warriors and Spurs (Kyrie, Love, TT, Frye, The King). That should put some perspective on how dominant LeBron is. Great series by him and that block was insanely heroic.

For gs I thought the last 2 mins was horrible for the end of the game. Curry Chucking up 3's wasn't a great offence at that time.

That Lebron block was the game right there and iguodala couldn't make the bucket.

Great game overall hats off to both teams for a great series.

Did ReturnofMVP3 just And1 every post on this board in the past 2 weeks criticizing the Cavs? How much time do you have on your hands dude? Shouldn't you be more focused on celebrating instead of poring through EVERY post on Realgm the past few weeks doubting the Cavs. Get a life dude. SO pathetic.

This is what I feared, annoying Warriors fans replaced with annoying Cavs fans. ****, winning a title sure makes fanbases unbearable. I can only imaging how annoying Raps fans would become if we won a title though. :lol:

After all settles down i want to re open Kobe vs James conversation again. I put him ahead of Kobe before the finals but a lot of people were convinced otherwise. Wonder if that will change now.

I checked his profile and it says Cavs are his favorite team (but Wade is his favorite player).

What a series, what a game 7. Still crazy to think about how the Raps won two games against the champs!

Watching JR's interview was rough man. He's a knucklehead and will probably do something stupid again real soon but happy he has this moment.

I don't think there's a conversation, LBJ trumps Kobe in every respect. Stats, accolades, rings as the alpha dog on his team. I truly don't know how Kobe compares.

Hell, most of the legends basketball residents love comparing LBJ to haven't accomplished a feat as big as coming back 3-1 to win a series against one of the greatest teams of all time as heavy underdogs.

LBJ cemented his status as a top 5 player of all time with this victory.

I'd just like to say.. Kyrie Irving solidified himself as a stone cold assassin. This guy does not get shy in big moments.

LeBron has done it. Delivered on his promise and finally got one for #TheLand. Congrats Cleveland. Much respect to LeGOAT. I was one of the 16% who chose Cavs in 7... there's no one else you'd rather have to play a game 7 in the Finals on the road than The King. Kyrie Irving is ridiculous, best teammate LeBron has ever had.

Players with 3 rings, 3 FMVP's, and 4 MVP's:

1. Michael Jordan
2. LeBron James

That's it.
