who isn’t the best or even elite at any one of the core aspects of basketball

Of all the lukewarm takes I’ve read in the last couple hours, this one is especially room-temperate. Kyrie was better than Steph this entire series. And, Kyrie isn't Steph-lite, Seph-like, or any of that.....after this Finals, Kyrie deserves to respected on his own terms: as a super-Tony Parker lol

This was LeBron’s Finals, but holy shit did Kyrie Irving and Tristan Thompson both come up huge for him when he needed it. Thompson got them so many second chances and was able to D up the wings as well as any big could hope, and Kyrie gave him a second (and sometimes first) scoring option who can create his own shot.

My Theory: Lebron James warged into Keving Love for those 14 seconds.

I went back and watched the last 4 almost scoreless minutes again, and while everyone else is just watching the long threes flat-footed, Kevin Love is sprinting in from three point line, positioning himself for a rebound. Good for him.

I was happy for Love. He played his role and earned his ring. He’ll probably get shipped off this summer, but he had his moment in game seven.

Thank god that “THAT GUY” didn’t take Friday off.

For one thing, Jordan and those Bulls teams never let themselves get down. For another, every team they beat in the Finals was as good if not better than Golden State. This Warriors team is phenomenal, but the Lakers, Blazers, Suns, Sonics, and Jazz teams were full of 50 greatest players and Hall of Famers.

After that Thunder series, you folks in glass houses might not want to be so quick to pick up the stones.

I'm gonna have to get some blood pressure meds after all this salt.
