Seth Curry... damn.

LeBron locked up finals MVP tonight either way

Poor Cleveland. They missed LeBron's peak years and ran into a juggernaut short-handed.

On the other hand, they did nothing to "earn" him back, and they made the same mistakes as last time: going all in for a one year rental of Kevin love instead of focusing on their bench, which, barring a miracle, will be their undoing in this series. 

(On an additional hand I am a Hornets fan and therefore under no obligation to feel sorry for any other fans.)

​Pretty sad when a guy shooting 40% can be a lock for MVP.

Pretty piss poor finals.

​Not to mention the NBA handing them 3 #1 picks after LeBron left and then they get him back anyways. fug Cleveland, the league is rigged.

I'd give it to Curry or Iguodala, who is having the series Kawhi had last year, before LeBron.

Iggy isn't dominating the way Kawhi did. He was the Spurs leader last year. Curry is the GS leader.

I think Jerry West was the last player to win Finals MVP in a losing effort. Lebron is almost averaging a triple double right now, and there are still potentially two games left, so we'll have to see what happens.

Just saw this asked on ESPN: Is LeBron James the best athlete in the world?

I would make a thread on it but am too lazy. I bet that would be weeks of debate though.

My answer? No, he's not. It's an impossible question. James couldn't do squat in a real triathalon for example. The triathlete couldn't hit a three with one second left though. So does that mean the question should be more about talent then? Again, there could be some archer who is more talented at his sport than James is at basketball, lol. Impossible question.

BREAKING:  Lebron James is pretty good at this basketball thing

He was the only, for now

Barnes strikes me as that guy Golden State lets walk and he gets some ridiculous contract offer from somewhere like Minnesota and is never heard from again.

This is painful to watch. Golden State doesn't want this at all. Curry can't afford to sit in the 2nd half.

 

I feel like Cleveland couldn't have played worse and they're only down 2...
