    He is not going to be called a coattailer.

    Iggy's getting beat on that lebron spin too often now, he's got to adjust.

    Both KD and Steph with 30 a piece. KD is shooting better than LeBron, reminds me of the 2012 finals, only difference is KD finally has some boys he can rely on.

    Two things: I must give Curry credit because he has been much better than he was in the previous finals even though Durant is clearly the MVP. Also I'm sure Father Time is catching up with Lebron, but he is going at GS in this final quarter, he's not being the passive player we often accuse him of being.

    I respect LeBron for still trying, but seeing him winded like that really shows me how father time is approaching. That's insane to me.

    That's cynical. Considering he was the only that could hit a shot for 6 min, I'll give him another 4 points. Anyway, it's not like he needs it.

    Yes, all 4 points of his 41. He's gonna be top or near it in every category both regular and postseason. But he really need that four points *eye roll.

    He absolutely NEEDED Kyrie to carry him to victory, but the magic was gone. Lebron can still put up stats but his greatest impact years are in the past. His decline should speed up starting next year.

    But he took every shot for about 5-6 mins though. I will give him credit for not just disappearing but Kyrie didn't even touch the ball.

    And yes, I am a Lebron hater. 3-5.

    I not a Lebron fan but I dont think he stat padded in the 4th. He was doing what he was suppose to be doing to keep them in it, he was attacking the hoop.

    Durant 14-20 for 39 points. Such amazing efficiency on the biggest stage.

    Worst case scenario he'll be Malone in the late 90, with a better handle and jump shot.

    It looked like the 2012 game vs Argentina

    Good for him, David West (I guess) Zaza and Javale.
