How can you not respect Lebron after this?

[NormanConnors]

He hasn't regressed. He has to spend too much energy on the other side of the court.

breh is in his 30's now, magic has to be done in spurts, the breh who said another defensive wing presence is needed to take a load off is correct

 

[Flight]

I don't think a single bench player turned in even a 10 point game all series and they all got killed on defense. This was 2004 lakers outside of Shaq levels of bad from Thompson, Shumpert, Williams, and Korver.

Shumpert and Williams were atrocious. The Cavs need to get some athletic young wings as well. LeBron isn't the defender he once was.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

I respect him as a player, but I don't wanna hear anything about his stats. He wasn't even bothering to play defense for much of that series. I wouldn't go as far as to say they're empty, but they're not impressive given the context of how horrible his defense was. If he had worse box score #s but showed better defense it would be impressive. But he didn't.

 

[AquaCityBoy]

They're not evenly matched at all. Warriors have 4 all stars in their prime and two of them are MVP winners. Also have a superior bench.

Y'all weren't saying none of that shyt after Christmas Day.

they barely beat this garbage-ass cavs team yet they'd humble a team with pippen, rodman, phil jackson and the greatest goddamn player ever to play the game. too many of ya'll on here that don't know basketball posting nonsense. as good as gs is supposed to be, the cavs beat themselves more than they got beat. had they played smarter and actually taken care of the ball, they could have won even against this team.

Since when is 5 games barely beating a team?

the respect is there, but yall gotta cut this way too outmatched shyt out. these teams were evenly matched, they just got beat.

the talent gap The Cavs have over the rest of the East is far and away more pronounced than the perceived gap between the Warriors and the Cavs. no excuses

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Still the best player in the world. He was wrong for that Heat shyt but last year he won the title straight up. They needed to add a top 3 player to beat him

 

[AJtheOne]

Bron won't be appreciated by his haters until he's gone

 

[bl2k8]

Bron a legend. Golden State doing to him what he's done to the East for 7 years. What goes around comes around

You sound like a hoe. You is a hoe

fatmelo can't guard KD

Doesn't really need to.

If melo was there he could've taken some of the load off of lebron on the offensive end.

 

[wire28]

Lebron is a great player. Just not a GOAT. I'm glad his stans have further proof after witnessing his fifth loss in the finals.

 

[I AM WARHOL]

If he played a lick of defense they could've won this game
