All /in, 52 year drought is over

Lebron, you are forgiven

This is why Cleveland can't have nice things. Wait until there is nothing left to discuss to talk about the final? Come on.

LeBron is a walking sports movie. Goddamn.

I expect the Warriors to come back next year even better. Which is scary as hell. They have to get some more durable and better big men. There was just no way they were winning that game with Sideshow Bob playing big minutes in the 3rd. Plus they hung in there with like half of the team hurt.

also, the NBA really needs to do something to address the fact that OKC and Cleveland were able to neutralize Curry (although this was partially because he was hurt) by just having every single defender on their team try to hold him as he ran past. This isn't football, that shouldn't be allowed.

also they really need to do something to lower the number of foul shots guys can take by forcing up a bullshit shot through a defender's arms. or by just sprinting into the lane, jumping at a guy, and throwing up a circus shot

I've been a proponent of getting those circus shots to be non-fouls or offensive fouls since Rondo came into the league.

But let's not look over the fact that draymond green sets like 40 moving screens a game.

I mean, if you want to play that game, every team sets shittons of moving screens. It's not like Green is the only one. But yes moving screens are definitely something the NBA should take a look at. It would at least help move the league away from this idea that players like Curry are the wave of the future.

Also, why pick Rondo as the poster child for that considering he avoids taking free throws?

i seriously hate how fouls are tactically used to alter the game. its seriously what keeps me from watching nba

During the championship runs, that was the Rondo signature move. The sprint into the lane and just jump into 5 guys and throw something up and splash onto the ground crazily.

First time I started an NFL Discussion was in 2008. 2007 was a good year for browns, 2008 was not. They went from 10-6 to 4-12 and Steelers won the superbowl

You should probably be a fairweather fan for a better city.

Wade tho....

Wade too sure.

The bigger issue is that you just can't watch the NBA as a referee. You'll lose your mind. When you let traveling go to the point they have let it, everything else slips too.

I hate fair weather fans. They have no loyalty and act like they do. So they are liars that just join bandwagons while acting like they always been on the wagon. Last I checked we are on a mafia game site that lynches scum that do that.

Pittsburgh does not have a basketball team. I think people that live there are either cavs fans or 76ers or something else entirely, so I don't think that last part would have been a real issue

I was able to watch the parade yesterday on TV while at work. They had it on in every meeting room. I am glad Cleveland has a title but Lebron should not have cussed as much as he did in his speech. Those words didn't need said on live TV with children watching. Act like you been there before Lebron. The city may not have been but you have so, better language would have been appreciated. Thanks for the title though

But you're already a fairweather cavs fan...

Also LeBron is the patron saint of Cleveland and literally carried his worthless team to a championship. He played the best series ever played. He could have whipped his dick out and told everyone in NBA to that he was the King for a god damn reason and that they should "drink it in man" and he'd still not be a pariah in my eyes. He literally did the best possible thing an athlete can do, bring in a championship to his hometown and he even one upped that by being from the city that invented losing. Dude became legend on Sunday.

Cheering for a team thats always been your team when they win is not the same as switching to a new fan base every year.

A fair weather basketball fan would have been a celtics fan when Bird was there, a bulls fan when Jordan was there, and then fans of other teams when they were hot and only at those times

How would you feel if Obama dropped an F-bomb on live TV while giving a state of the union address? That's a fine example to set to the country you leading.

I love what you did Lebron, but show some class. When Jordan won titles he didn't drop F-bombs. When people said Jordan was too full of himself doing it all himself didn't he end up getting the most assists the next year?
