It's just Doris man, just how she is. If you watch ball regularly you become accustomed quite quickly.

They were double teaming Love down the stretch though. There's too many weapons on the Cavs to just focus on LeBron. That's how they beat you, they want you to focus on him.
The defense was tight on Irving too, it's just he found a way through it and made some unbelievable shots, including the game winner. The guy gets overshadowed in Cleveland by LeBron, but he's probably the better player at this point in his career.

Is this Aldous Snow or LeBron's interview after the game?
"imagine an African white Christ from space. And this is what they came back with. An African white space Christ. That’s just the concept. Obviously, I’m not saying I’m an African white space Christ. That’d be ridiculous. That’s not for me to say. That’s for other people. That’s for other people to say if they think I’m like Jesus."

That was one of the most ill advsied PR decisions in the history of sports.
But there is too much focused on it.
And you are surprised Cleveland fans welcomed him back? Any fan base would welcome back the best player in the league. Let alone a city starved for a championship

Lebron with the MVP. Can't say that he didn't deserve it. Kyrie probably should've got it though.

Such a different feeling comparing a team winning the Stanley Cup with a team winning the NBA Championship.

I mean, yeah, I was a little surprised. If that was New York or Boston they wouldn't have forgotten what he did to them, and they would have let him know it every chance they could get. I guess the Cleveland fans just didn't have the self-confidence to tell LeBron to go screw himself. The starved for a championship thing plays a big part of it.
Regardless, I've tried to give James the benefit of the doubt over the years, but he's always rubbed me the wrong way in the same way Kobe did. Egomaniac, through and through.

That game was awesome. So happy to see Lebron win his third. That block on Igoudala was amazing. Wow what an athlete. Special player to watch.

I disagree New York or Boston fans would be no different. It's sports. It's all about winning

Yep, especially in the NBA where a true star player is the difference between being a contender and almost literally not having a shot at a championship.
There's not enough to go around in this league either, so I doubt it was "OMG welcome back LeBron we loved you all along even though you bailed on us!!". It was "Man, I hated him for what he did but without him we're not a contender and with him we are, so welcome back!!"
The fans had visions of tonight happening when they welcomed him back".

Have you talked to a lot of those fans though? The way they talk about A-Rod vs. Jeter is hilarious. They can't stand A-Rod and want him off their team ASAP. They would also like Jeter's number retired. Both great players, but what's the difference between them?

They don't have the self confidence to tell Lebron to go screw himself. Haha, c'mon Cali, he's one of the best to ever play the game, the reaction would have been the same with any city.

Steph Curry's 2016 Finals:
22.6ppg, 40.3%FG, 40%3pt 30 TO's, 26 AST's
Unacceptable for the unanimous MVP.

They hate A rod when he doesn't produce and love him when he does. They love Jeter because he got them championships. Jeter is not a good dude.

Stay safe, Cleveland.

The police scanner feed in Cleveland is hilarious. The cops are screaming at each other and someone has stolen a fire truck.
