June 20, 201610 yr Incredible performance in 3 straight elimination games from Lebron. That block on Iggy will go down as an all time play as well as the Kyrie 3. It passes the block that Tayshaun had against Reggie Miller as the best block ever, in my mind.
June 20, 201610 yr Sure seemed like the Warriors got away from what made them a great "team" down the stretch and went to hero ball. Not sure I was quite the LeBron hater as some on her, but I wasn't cheering for him. However, happy for the guy.
June 20, 201610 yr Yeah, that block was every bit of LeBron's athleticism in one play. Just unreal ability. Very rarely am I shocked at something watching a sporting event, but that was one of those moments.

Very rarely am I shocked at something watching a sporting event, but that was one of those moments. I think the LeBron "chase down" blocks are some of the most overrated plays in history because the degree of difficulty is about a 2 on a scale of 1-10. The couple he had against Curry (followed by his stare down) was the equivalent of that ESPN commercial when they are swatting little kids' shots...... This one, was not. Guy is a genetic freak. It takes me back to when he was in high school in the McDonald's All American dunk contest. When they stopped the camera at his peak I'd never seen a human be that high in the air. The Iggy block was awesome and deserved a stare down.
June 20, 201610 yr Author I have not watched much post-game stuff, did LeBron end up hurting his wrist? By the reaction I thought it was a compound fracture.

June 20, 201610 yr Curry's sister had a 50/50 of turning out looking like her Mom and lost. She couldn't look any more like her Dad. Poor girl.

June 20, 201610 yr What's crazy is if Irving doesn't make that shot and the Warriors ended up winning. Fair or not fair many people probably would have questioned James play at the end in the last 4 minutes about he probably be worn down because he came up short on a lot for his shots those last 4 minutes. However someone stepped up finally for him and made the big shot, this way their is no possible way to question him. He was amazing these last 3 games. Have to give Tyron Lue some credit for doing some smart stuff. He did a masterful job with his time outs. He stole a few minutes of rest for Irving in the 4th and at the end it looked like Irving was the only guy that had a little spring in him, everyone else on both teams were pretty much spent. I personally feel that little bit of rest made the difference.
June 20, 201610 yr Okay, I haven't heard anybody say anything about this and it's bugging me so I need to know. Why was Bill Russell hanging around during the trophy presentations?
June 20, 201610 yr Side note: Am I the only one that thinks there would be 90% less tears if there were no cameras?
June 20, 201610 yr Okay, I haven't heard anybody say anything about this and it's bugging me so I need to know. Why was Bill Russell hanging around during the trophy presentations? I believe the NBA has him at the Finals each year.
