    This cemented Lebron as a top 3 player of all time. Now is padding his resumes to further his legacy. He wins one more and it's top 2. He gets 6, and he's in the argument with Jordan. He wins 7...

    He turns 32 in December. So not a lot of time left.

    I think four championships is the ceiling. He can still be effective at older ages, but he really will need superstar teammates to complement his game in the ending stages.

    I am so happy for Cleveland. I remember the feeling in 1994.

    Now this was awesome. What a game, so evenly matched, runs back and forth, Green vs. Irving and Lebron all over the court. That defense by Cleveland though, Curry just couldn't get that many good looks, Love stayed with him for crying out loud! Those blocks by Lebron, the Irving 3 and that defense was just outstanding. It's a great story, to come back from 3-1, then those 40+ point games to capping it off in Oakland with Lebron deserved MVP averaging nearly a triple-double. Just WOW! This game 7 was one of the most tight, competitive and nerve-racking ones ever.

    That's how incredibly gifted Lebron James. He needs better, more consistent shooters.

    The Thunder and their fans also win because now they don't have the biggest choke of the playoffs anymore and no one will probably talk about it.

    I think after his playoff run and being the focal point of attack for the Cavs, Curry will never win another MVP again. Completely exposed.

    Good for Cavs. Glad Draymond and Bogus didn't get a second ring.

    Tomjanovich and Lue are the only Rockets to ever win championships as head coaches.

    I'm a west coast guy by heart. Yes being from Houston, I still rep the west side. How you gonna suspend Green in game 5 when they had the momentum? How do you allow 2 3-1 deficit in a season let alone in the freaking FINALS!!!!!! I don't care rigged or not, this would never happened back in the golden era of basketball. The east still sucks. *** the Cavs. The Midwest sucks too!

    Yes because the west finals is that much more competitive. Well, I guess the kids will remember Lebron as the greatest player in the nba of all time now. OH BROTHER!!
