    Warriors didn't go perfect but just learned from someone that 16-1 is actually a record when all rounds are best of 7 series. (Previous was 15-1 by Lakers when first round was best of 5 which of course can now never be beaten as I doubt we'll ever go back to 5 games in Round 1).

    I mean the saddest part is, this was so financially viable that the NBA will probably keep this train going for years.

    Yes, how was he able to drive this 73-9 team that was one game away from being back to back champions last year? He must be so proud!

    I did it!!!

    Yeah KD. You did it. By joining one of the most dominant teams of all time. Lol.

    There's doing what Lebrin did. Then there's joining a 73 win team with a dpoy, two time MVP who you just blew a 3-1 lead too.

    My view on it is the same as when it happened. b**** move.

    You absolutely need a great team to win a championship. That's what the Warriors were. surely if Hakeem decided Ron leave the ROCkets and join the Bulls in the 90s he'd be viewed much differently.

    When you're in the 1% it isn't about enjoying the money, It's about how much you can get.

    I would imagine it's like that for GSW now, except with rings.

    I don't like this, this is seriously the team we going to see each year in the playoffs finals year after year.

    Durant's "YESSIR!" was cringeworthy.

    I wonder what impact bogut could've made this series if he never got injured.

    Too bad Larry sanders didn't work out.

    Cavs need some kind of resistance at the rim because love and even tristian damn sure ain't giving the cavs that.

    Well, I am enjoying the Astros more than I anticipated (They have hit a rough patch, that's my bad #frontrunning.)

    Without Harden and this NBA season, I wouldn't have been trying to find another sport to latch onto.. it's rock bottom for my love of the NBA. Sunken place levels of disappointment.

    We will only see this team if we watch. This year's finals was enough for me. Meh. Time not well spent.

    b**** ass Doris Burke. Why you actin' like the Warriors are some victims?

    Oh, you went against the GOAT of this generation? How did you guys do it with 4 all-stars?
    Steve, how did you fit in Kevin Durant? I'm sure it wasn't easy.
    Steph, you were criticized about past Finals performances. How did you learn from it? Was it hard?
    Andre Iguodala was not 100%. How did your bench survive? How did you guys get by?
    Klay Thompson, you had less touches this year, how were you able to do that?

    STFU already. Please.

    This was easily the most boring championship of my time watching the sport. I literally watched about 8 minutes of the whole thing. I could see the ratings being down if most folks were like me, but something tells me it had high ratings. People turn things on if they hate a part of something they love. Like the Cowboys going to the superbowl.

    Sam Mack tried to steal ring here in Houston like Durant, forming a big three, but got busted instead for armed robbery in a holdup at a Burger King where was shot in the foot and hip as he tried to flee police.

    3-1 means nothing when you lose, the cavs raised their level in 2016. the warriors couldnt match it

    I'm sure Durant will be so bummed when he reads how people on the internet are calling him a coward while he sits in his mansion with his millions of dollars and nba championship ring shining on his finger :p

    How sweet it is, as a fan after winning the title. Within 5 minutes, you can chant MVP! for 2 separate players.
