30 turnovers stands out to me.
Makes you wonder how the MCL injury and getting beat up every series effected him.

He is still a small guy. And he got pounded on this postseason.

Why isn't Jeter a 'Good Dude'???

NY fans can smell a fake a mile away, and A-Rod is a fake.

Yes he was definitely hampered by that injury. Too bad but that's part of the playoffs. I'm sure that Kevin Love shouldn't be playing with the concussion.

Just a reminder:



It was not taken lightly. Some guys were a little stupid, but it was traumatic, and he waltzed back into town like nothing happened. If I was a Cavs fan I would have given him at least a little grief about it. I wonder if these guys remember how they felt back then during their celebrations tonight.

I think you are kidding yourself. If you were part of a city that hadn't had a championship for over 5 decades, and the best player in the league, who is also from your city, decides he's going come back and play for your team - yeah you'd be OK with that.

It depends. I've never been in that situation before, so I can't say for sure, but either they were disingenuous with their comments when he left, or they truly forgot how they felt about him.

Cavs locker room had 350 bottles of limited edition Moet Nectar Rose Ohio bottles (Retail value: $21,000+)

Other non-LeBron thoughts....

- Ty Lue probably won't get much credit but he deserves some kudos. Beyond the Draymond suspension changing the series, using the pick and roll to create mismatches for LeBron and Kyrie was great at exposing the issues the Warriors have in one on one matchups outside Draymond and Klay who are both good defenders. Also resisting the urge to force Love into things was also smart.

- Richard Jeffereson, well past his prime, played a vital role in this series. Not sure who had him as the non-LeBron/Kyrie MVP.

- Warriors just fell in love with the threes too much, and even by his standards Curry was forcing way too many of them. Yes he's amazing but sometime running offense is better. Not enough Klay in that 4th quarter tonight.

- Harrison Barnes....he should have cost himself millions but someone will still overpay him without a doubt. Beyond awful this series, even Kevin Love thinks he's awful

- Love of course seems likely to be dealt, but who knows? If he's willing to accept the Bosh role (albeit even less scoring) they'll probably keep him at least one more year, unless LeBron leaves...and yeah that'll be coming up. Woj already posted an article speculating after game 6.

Lebron's antics really grind my gears but I found myself cheering for the Cavs to win. It's a better sports story. Glad I got to see it for myself.

Congrats to Cleveland! Thought they were done after 4, proved that they were better.
Also kudos to the Raptors being the only other team to take games from the Champs.... Maybe they are closer than given credit for?

Lebron the beast. He really does come out to play when it matters. Congrats to Cavs. Kyrie really helped out too.

Amazing to have seen MJ, Kobe and now Lebron in their prime just dominate. 90s was MJ, 00s was Kobe and 10s is Lebron. Guess we'll have to wait a few more years to see the next big thing.

When you look at this picture, it's mind blowing that he somehow got over to block the layup. Might be the only person ever who can physically do it.

I wonder if Lebron let anyone else touch the trophy all night. What a selfish egotistical luddite.

Yeah that shot of him walking off with the trophies while the rest of his team stayed on the court was very odd.

Skip's last day at ESPN is today so he'll be infecting a Fox Sports channel near you soon.
