LeAD is such a great duo. Hope LeBron can remain BITW for 2 more years

One of the greatest finals ever, and now I can watch game 5 highlights and appreciate the Jimmy LeBron duel to its full.

Man I can’t even explain how happy I am. After KD went to Golden State, I didn’t think LeBron would ever win another ring. Now, LeBron is the champion again. Four rings, four FMVPs. All the individual stats.

Let’s also not forget the giant dump LeBron took on all the criticisms people had about him. Can’t play with big men. Can’t win in the West. Can’t play defense anymore. Coach killer. Superstars don’t want to play with him.

Gotta hope Lebron manages to stay close to this level for another several years to come, AD deserves it after the crap he dealt with for 7 years in New Orleans.


I really hope starting maybe even next season, they shift the roles like Kareem and Magic did. Where the younger Magic took over more duties from the older Kareem and allowed him to prolong his career while still racking up rings.

Will be the hardest title to defend in NBA history imo. Just so many question marks around next season.

Anyway, 4MVPs and 4 titles. Gonna be a good night to browse reddit and GB :)


I mean even you couldn't have expected this blowout haha.

But yeah. Even though the W was the most likely result, the way the games have gone just made everyone nervous. But that's being a LeBron fan. Is it bittwersweet for you Paulie?


I think I said before, knowing LeBron at this point, I wouldn't worry about him unless he's trailing 3-2 in a series but yeah, this series was never really in doubt. Miami was playing from behind the entire point and made a series of it, so credit to them.

It's not bittersweet as much as, my fandom has changed quite a bit since 2016. Becoming more of an NBA fan than a team or even a player fan to be honest. Still like Miami and still like LeBron so this was win-win for me?


Ah. a la Zach Lowe.

Oh it wasn't LeBron I was ever worried about. It was his teammates haha

1 point away from a 30 point average. We can thank Kuzma for the lane violation.

Btw guys - Rondo RIGHTFULLY deserved all the doubting cast on him due to his regular season, but I think he's earned a playoff Rondo pass for as long as he plays. So we'll slag him in the RS with the asterisk of "he'll show up in the playoffs"

Definitely not the hardest title in history to defend. I’m sure there are lots of examples but ‘16 Cavs are the obvious answer.

I've been saying bad stuff about him for a lot longer. I really thought his lack of shooting only could work with a team like the Celtics for an entire playoff run.

I was wrong.

Who cares. 0.2 PPG? really?

Oh man. I'm expecting some good discussion in the top 100 project. Not wasting my life on the GB. Yes I post there but I'm not that regular and I don't plan to be.


The GB is actually worse than r/NBA. The only place where I can read (mostly) high quality basketball discussion on the entire internet is this board. Don't even know how I found it but I'm so happy I did.
You said to me “I will give you scissor seven fine quality animation".

You left then but you put flat mediums which were not good before my scissor seven".

What do you take me for, that you treat somebody like me with such contempt?
