I said it in the box after Game 6, and ILoveRhinoPoopJay26 said I was crazy, but there was NO WAY Golden State was going to win Game 7. Too much opportunity for the NBA to cash in and grow the brand even more with LeBron James coming back from a 1-3 Series that's never been done. Golden State broke all the regular season records and the Cavs did something that's never been done as well.
I'm not a LeBron fan but I'm also not a hater. I hated Jordan a lot more during his run. But it was too good to be true and they all made it so.
No different when Larry Coker took over the team that Butch Davis built at Miami. Butch Davis never took his team to a BCS title game. Oh hell, Luke Walton seemed to have done a better job coaching the Warriors during Kerry's absence.Do you guys really believe that Mark Jackson deserves more credit for the Warriors recent success than Steve Kerr. That's completely crazy.
That's no different than saying Muschamp deserved the credit for McElwain's success last year.
It's the same team. Jackson never made it to the Conference Finals. Kerr won a title in his first year, and had the best regular season in NBA history the next.

I'm just a big fan of Bill Parcells' quote, "You are what your record says you are."
Say what you want about Calipari, but he wins games and championships. Is he a better coach than Coach K / Jay Wright, etc. No. But he knows how manage and relate to 18 year old basketball players.
If you win championships, you're a championship coach / player. If you don't, you're not.
Champship, not Champships.... Billy Donovan has twice as many NCAA Championships as Calipari

He doesn't capitalize random words. He uses the words OWNED and DESTROYED in every one of his posts.Does IT bother ANYONE else that JBOSS consistently posts with random words CAPITALIZED?
This is a sorry excuse for the list of ten players that are better than Lebron which I requested.There are 2 reasons Lebron isn't in my top 10. 1. He isn't the guy I want taking the shot to win the game. There were 3 guys on the court last night I'd rather have taking that shot than Lebron. When I start going down the list of guys in history I'd rather have taking that shot? Suddenly Lebron looks really bad. 2. Big men. My list has a lot of big men on it because they impact a game in a way Lebron simply can't.
His stats were pretty staggering. Most amazing to me was that in game 7 he played 47 minutes, absolutely dominated the ball - took 24 shots, got to the line 10 times, grabbed 11 rebounds, had 2 steals and 3 blocks - and only committed 1 foul.Lebron was AMAZING in the finals. He almost AVERAGED a TRIPLE DOUBLE in the Finals series at 30 points, 11 rebounds, and 9 assists a game. That's crazy!! GS just couldn't handle Lebron and FINALLY Lebron got help from his teammates to help WIN the NBA Title.
God I miss that guy.Did someone actually say LeBron James was a better athlete than Michael Effing Jordan? REALLY???
Couldn't have said it better Bart. I despise LeBron with a passion. It is his generation of overpriced, entitled players that have driven me away from watching the NBA at all. Haven't watched more than a few minutes of any game in several years.
I can't imagine the either team beating Magic, Kareem, and Worthy, much less what Laimbeer (the Thumper part of Bumper and Thumper in the front court), Rodman, and Thomas would have done to them. And let's not forget Joe Dumars, who was tasked with guarding Jordan and held his own against one of the best to ever play the game. And then comes "The Microwave". The results could have been seriously ugly. 911 ambulance ugly.73-9....the 90's Bulls would wipe the floor with either of these 'finalists'. Can you imagine the Bad Boy Pistons playing D against Vagina Curry or Crying MeBron? Laughable.
