    Yeah there's a little media swell right now talking about how ridiculous it is that these older players are complaining and saying he wouldn't last in the 80s, but this is 100% true. Draymond is a master trash talker for today's NBA, but he'd just be a run of the mill guy in the 80s or 90s.

    It's all crap anyway. There's no way LeBron really cares if someone on the court called him a b****. No way. SOMEONE in the last 12 years or whatever it is has called him that and he didn't react that way. He reacted that way to try to get Green suspended and it worked.

    LOL, at the image on top you see Lebron holding his teammates arm when supposedly he wanted to get at Green so bad. I think Bron was holding himself back more than his teammates were holding him back.

    Well, while I am fully behind the sentiment, the video itself does a poor job of showing why, indeed, LeBron is a female dog. Missing and getting blocked isn't the reason. Whining and overreacting is.

    LBJ's "Golden Ticket", our nightmare and ESPN wet dream .....

    https://www.yahoo.com/sports/news/lebron-james--golden-ticket-083357630.html

    LeBron James’ golden ticket
    Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical,Yahoo Sports 5 hours ago
    [​IMG]

    Nightly Notable: LeBron James
    LeBron James scores 41 points for the second night in a row, finishing with 11 assists, eight rebounds and three blocks.

    CLEVELAND – LeBron James is pushing for lifetime immunity for his legacy in these NBA Finals, an unimpeachable freedom that’ll allow him to come and go the rest of his career. Only this time, no consequences. No repercussions. Winning changes everything, validates every superstar’s choices. He keeps coming and coming for these Golden State Warriors, threatening as peerless of a closing performance as ever witnessed in a championship series. Complete this colossal comeback, and LeBron James never has to say I’m sorry again.

    Back-to-back historic performances in these two elimination games, including 41 points, 11 assists, eight rebounds, four steals and three blocks on Thursday night in a 115-101 victory. Back to the Bay Area for an epic Game 7 on Sunday in which the pressure promises to be prodigious on Golden State.

    LeBron James has been stunning, spinning a story for the ages.

    “Unbelievable,” Kyrie Irving said.

    “Unbelievable,” J.R. Smith said.

    Between the third and fourth quarters, James told his coach that he wasn’t coming out of the game and told his teammates, “You all get stops and follow me.” Eighteen straight points, two lob-dunk passes to Tristan Thompson, a menacing block and side-mouth smart of Stephen Curry punctuated a pummeling of these Warriors. Curry flung his mouthpiece into a fan and left the court WWE-style, being escorted into the tunnel, his finger wagging back at James.

    See you in Game 7.

    See you Sunday.

    All alone in this series, James has been able to manipulate a Draymond Green suspension, obliterate a 3-1 series deficit with historic Game 5 and 6 performances, and, yes, humiliate Mr. Curry into a temper tantrum and ejection, and Mrs. Curry into a Twitter meltdown.




    [​IMG]

    Stephen Curry Ejected
    Stephen Curry draws his sixth foul and is ejected after receiving a technical foul for throwing his mouthpiece.

    One more victory, one more magnificent night at Oracle Arena, and James will get to run off with his buddies again somewhere warm. Miami. Los Angeles. Wherever. There’s a restlessness about James that craves the next big move, the next power play. Franchises are on watch again, believing nothing’s forever in Northeast Ohio. Sooner or later, there’s a belief that James comes into play again, a line of thinking that his inner circle has done nothing to dissuade. As for James himself, well, he has gone so far as to publicly describe an end-of-career scenario that doesn’t include Cleveland.

    Part of it, yes, along with those one-year contracts, is a way to mess with owner Dan Gilbert. James has great fondness for coach Ty Lue and respect for general manager David Griffin, but he’ll never embrace Gilbert – only perform despite him.

    Yes, James could come back to Cleveland and defend a potential Cavaliers title in 2017 and proceed to join the run of superstar pals in free agency: Chris Paul and Kevin Durant. They can wait one more year for Carmelo Anthony in 2018. Or, Golden State wins Game 7, and maybe James gives Cleveland the championship in 2017 – and makes his move then.

    Cleveland can’t hold him to his Sports Illustrated letter, his promises of becoming something noble and lasting. It wanted a title, and he’s close to delivering one. James becomes untouchable with a Cavaliers title. Fifty-two years without a pro sports championship here, and Cleveland can only tell him: Thank you, and goodbye again.

    “Not many people in the history of sports have said, ‘Everyone get on my back,’ ” Cleveland’s Richard Jefferson said. “The city, state, organization, team … ‘Get on my back. If we win or fail, I’ll take the blame – but I’m going to lead you.’ How many people have ever said that? I can’t think of too many players who have put that type of pressure on themselves and then have delivered more times than not. And he embraces it …

    “That’s a pressure that I know I couldn’t personally handle.”

    Yeah it's freaking horrible if it happens and he can keep signing up with great players as he ages with these short opt out rent LeBron for a year or two contracts.

    This has convinced me we need a state of the art, motivated Hassan Whiteside (Luuke comes from John Wooden and all the great team first minds and has this covered) Whiteside should be thrilled to come join the incredible young talent and NBA talent being assembled this summer here. Seeing how well Green and Bogut and other lesser rim protectors than Whiteside did against LBJ early on .... we simply need to become elite at the rim with high vertical blocking capable athletes on defense. Ingram will help as will Simmons and I expect very improved Randle overall as well as Clarkson plus Nance. LeBron should still be pressured to shoot.

    We are going to have some manly, beastly athletes to bang him with all night long. Sheer strength of upper body I expect Julius to be right with him next year or the next latest. Tarik Black and or Brandon Bass aren't lotus flowers either.

    I like it much better when LeBron is failing. However, most of the things he is insulted for he is doing the opposite of this series.

    He has been respectful to the media and the public and his competition

    He has been clutch

    Cue Kobe commercial about hating him too long to stop now

    If Lebron puts up another amazing performance on Sunday in a victory, he deserves all the praise he's gonna get.

    Even I have to admit he's been playing out of his mind these last two games.

    If he wins it in Oakland on Sunday I will have to admit he finally did what I thought he couldn't, lead a team to win a championship.

    I might even have to give LaBron the dignity of spelling his name right.

    Well, with this group it has Love and Irving but who are not in the same strata as Wade and Bosh. Allen is a better player than Smith. In a sense, James does not have the same caliber of help.

    My head might explode if the Cavs win game 7. We'll never hear the end of LeBron's greatness, he will be celebrated like someone who took the Clippers to a title. Some will call him better than Jordan for it, and with 3 Finals MVP's, he will be put above Kobe, and Kobe will be disrespected and forgotten by history even more than he already is. Come on Curry, come on Klay, come on Green, it's one game, it's at home, just freaking win, so many lovers of the game and haters of LeBron are counting on you. Come on Barnes, Iggy, Ezeili, Barbosa, please, just win this ONE game. This won't be one summer of celebration of LeBron I'll have to stomach if they lose this game, this is a LIFETIME of LeBron slurping I'll have to endure. I asked for Malone and Stockton to do the same thing with MJ twice in the 90's though, as I hated him as well, but they also failed me.

    I remember last year some sports radio personality, maybe Cowherd?, said "a championship in Cleveland is worth two anywhere else."

    Please for the love of all things basketball, Warriors, get the job done.
