    LeBron has taken a total of 17 FTs in the finals. Where's the aggressiveness, bro?

    Lebron losing his cool and picking a fight with Steph was the highlight of the night for me. Showed the frustration of a man who's about to quit yet again on these Cavs and about to lose another Finals. I have no sympathy for a supposedly great player who always chose the easy path to the Finals. I congratulate Draymond Green for getting in his head. When your "leader" loses your cool like that on petty plays... your team is done.

    What these Finals also showed me is the Cavs should build around Kyrie. Lebron is on his decline (and probably planning The Decision part 2 as we speak). Kyrie can ball... he just needs work on the defensive end.

    The one player I feel bad about: Kevin Love. He was a star in Minnesota and he traded all of that to be the King's and the Cavs' scapegoat when all of this is done.

    very true. its hard for me to remember a time ive seen lebron consistently get the ball stripped like this. iguodala and the rest of the team are doing an amazing job without fouling (give or take). ive also noticed lebron get caught stuck in the air more while making a pass than i can remember seeing. while not stopping him, the warriors are for the most part keeping him contained

    I think part of this is honestly his decline. He's been now to six straight Finals and he's 31 years old. We're going to start really seeing the decline of LeBron and this is just the start. I remember seeing moments like this with Kobe back when he started to lose some pop in his athleticism. Of course the difference is Kobe was 1000x stronger than LeBron mentally.

    exactly...kobe could see the writing on the wall that his athleticism would fade long before it actually did. he made a concerted effort to perfect the other parts of his game so when that time came he would be more than ready.

    one of the truly great things both kobe and jordan was that they made this transition look so easy.

    i wonder if lebron will bolt again after this season and try to form another superteam with durant somewhere with westbrook joining after next season

    although durant doesn't seem like the type that would want to win that way. at least that's what i think

    Do it LeBron. But you might want to check with Kobe first on how fast the media can turn on you when they have other shiny new heroes to "honk". Not that Kobe gave a s***. You and Dwight do. A new story and legacy about you of "ring chaser" ......not good enough to do it on his own with more than adequate talent around him on teams he left, if not for his own mental makeup that is UNLIKE all the great NBA "winners" that came before him.

    LMAO at Draymond mocking him like LeBron was hyper-ventilating from fear and needing to blow into a paper bag.

    Much of this anti-Steph shoe movement is racist and ageist.

    Omg the shoe slander has to be discouraging. Under armor is probably thinking their future in curry shoe sales probably took a hit considering how extreme people's standards are about gym sneakers.

    Ooops. Yeah. GoPro releasing the Session camera originally for the same price as the Hero4 Silver last year wants their blunder of the year marketing award back.

    What's FUN ^^^ is that it's becoming "pile on" time for LeBron on internet now too..... just like Steph's shoes.
