As much as I dislike LeBron's personality, he really did a lot to cement his legacy with this series, especially in the dying minutes of game 7.
I feel like getting back on my soapbox about how 3-point shooting alone is not a viable playoff offence; every top-10 in the league has passable 3-point shooting that can win some games (by blowouts) when their shooting is on; what matters is what else you have to fall back on, which for Golden State this series was just not enough.

He cemented his legacy to me the minute he rolled around on the floor like he was shot with 20 seconds left in the game, only to magically get up and take his free throws showing zero effects of what he made look like a broken wrist. I was actually starting to feel bad for him thinking to myself that it sucks that he's going to miss actually being on the court when Cleveland wins it's championship (and I hate Lebron), but sure enough, all just an act again. When he put on his little show for the camera (and that's what it was) when he got down on all fours and started banging the floor with the wrist he was reeling in pain with moments earlier, I wanted to vomit.
I don't think I've ever had as little respect for an athlete that is clearly the best of his generation as I do James. From him leaving Cleveland in the first place, to his "decision", to his hand picking of all-star teams to ensure he won, to his torpedoing of coaching, to his flopping and whining, to me this guy is everything that I dislike the with the NBA all tied up in a neat little package.

Can we take a second to appreciate LeBron's troll game? Rocking the Kermit sipping tea hat is just a bonus

Great trade for the Bulls to get that contract off the books. Rose obviously is a constant injury concern and he's really never been the same since that injury in 2012. I see why the Knicks did it, they suck and aren't going anywhere so why not throw the dice that he can find himself again in a new city?

Jeff Teague to the Pacers, George Hill to the Jazz and #12 pick to the Hawks. Hawks are now shopping their #12 and #21 picks in tomorrows draft to make re-signing AL Horford easier.

Yeah, I think it's actually good for both teams. It's high-risk for NYK, but with Carmelo getting antsy, it's a risk they have to take.

Did they ever get fleeced. My goodness Oladipo is better than Ibaka right now, and Sabonis will be a nice piece too. Orlando just desperate to make a move. Speaking of desperate, the Wizards are apparently going to give Joakim Noah 4 years, $120 million. So yeah we're about to entered uncharted waters with the new cap and extreme over payments.

I'm still pissed the Raps didn't take Sabonis.
