    Can anyone else think of a player who massed up crazy numbers but had a losing Finals record?

    I know the answer but some people are very defensive when it comes to their giant.

    Are you talking about Jerry West or Elgin Baylor?

    LeBron sounded super defeated in his podium interview, saying this Warriors team are mostly in their 20's and aren't going anywhere. That I did enjoy.

    Talking about Wilt. I don't think West or Baylor ever padded their stats.

    Mike Brown did a good job holding down the fort in Kerr's absence. Yeah... the talent is super overloaded but look at that record when he was at the helm in the playoffs.

    Come to think of it... the amount of "misfits" this GSW team this year managed to turnaround and fit thier team is ridiculous: Pachulia, McGee, Matt Barnes, Mike Brown. Throw David West in there too; not a misfit but he finally got a ring as well. Rookie McCaw had meaningful minutes.

    Like Kerr said in that interview with Doris: It's all coaching!

    Well done Warriors. Well done. KD... well deserved MVP. He was just bonkers these Finals.

    Speaking of Love, wow what a bad game. He's no Chris Bosh and he's signed there on a long deal. He probably needs to go if they want to keep up with the Warriors. Bet they wouldn't mind having Wiggins right now.

    He was so soooo damn happy it was great to see. Am happy KD finally got his championship. Great series and got his Finals MVP.

    Oh I was actually talking about West. I figured you just meant "got to the Finals and lost".

    I think Wilt undoubtedly padded his stats at times. There's proof in his 100 point game. The man got bored out there. :D

    All of ESPN's staff is gonna feel like they got a divorce in the morning. They know they're heartbroken their Bronny boy didn't win to inch closer to MJ's ring total.

    Too bad, now on to my Lakers!!

    Don't forget his "I'm going to stop playing D when I get 4 or 5 foul so can keep that asinine streak alive." Or, I'm going to pass up good shots so I can get the assist trophy. Lol

    Anyway, other that West, I don't hate anyone on the team. Glad for Javale. And Iggy's huge game. Chuck etc can say what they want, but KD got the ring and carried his team down the stretch. Secretly Ewing, Stockton, Malone, and Reggie are thinking they wished they could have that.
