Big game for Tatum and Jimmy. Which guy is going to will his team to victory?

It's still a team sport.

If both teams show up, Boston comfortably wins by double digits because they are just the more talented team playing at home.

But if Boston let's the Heat hang around in a tight finish, I'll still take the Heat despite what happened last game.

Warriors easily. That team almost swept the playoffs. They're up there with the all time great teams like the 1996/1997 Bulls, 2001 Lakers, and the Lakers/Celtics teams of the 1980s.

Which is why the 2016 3-1 comeback against them will still remain the greatest achievement of all time by any one player/team regardless of what happens tonight.

You:

"Winning championships are a team accomplishment"

Also you:

"Lebron beat the Warriors all by himself!"

Never said LeBron beat anybody by himself, but it's undeniable that the final three games of the series are the greatest games ever played in a row by one individual player.

KCC, go shove your head up Lebron's urethra. I used to like Lebron until I found out people like you existed. Now I just want him to ****ing go away so you'll kill yourself because you have nothing left to live for.

And you Jordan assholes can go **** a cactus, too. The guy retired decades ago and you're fighting for him like you're in some kind of holy war. "DEFEAT THE INFIDELS!!!!!!" Go suicide bomb some more threads with your weepy vagina "omghowdareu michael jordan playing basketball on tv was the dad i never had" bullshit.

Spot on. Absolutely insane how Lebron fans are obsessed about what other people think about him. It's nuts to me why anyone would post on twitter and message boards 4 or 5 times a day arguments for Lebron being the GOAT. If he is the GOAT you don't need to do that it will just be known. You don't see people spamming twitter and message boards with arguments for Gretzky or Brady being the GOAT because their fans don't have to say it everyone knows it.

Also, we should never forget that MJ is the one who greenlit the Last Dance propaganda documentary after LeBron came back from 3-1 in the Finals. It would appear he's just as threatened by LeBron as his fans.

We all wanna be like Mike. Wouldn’t you want a perfect finals record KCC?

No, like Mahomes and LeBron, I'd rather just actually be the better player and laugh at those using rings/titles/"6-0" arguments.

Jordan has the league scoring titles like Mahomes has/will have.

Lebron doesn’t and won’t

LeBron fans are a cult.

That was a different Warriors team than the Durant team. MUCH different.

More talented, not better.
