GSW team should be illegal

its basically an all star team

As much as I hate the GSW, Lebron deserved it for starting the trend.

lebron didn't start anything. the teams that lebron went to were lottery teams. Durant, 2nd best player,  went to a team that had a better record than the 72-10 bulls.


If youre talking about assembling a big 3, the Celtics started that

Yup.  Bird, McHale, Parrish.

He did join Miami with Wade and Bosh already in the team. Durant only took it to the next level.

Celtics Big 3 were assembled via trade. Same with super teams of the past.

This is halfway to tabling any discussion of Lebron as the greatest of all time. Does he even pass Kobe?

Durant has bulked up...but looks slower

[hpantazo]

Durant is unbelievable. Best player on the floor easily

The final score won't indicate how close this game was. Cleveland will win their home games. This thing is going 7

Durant = modern 5?

oh man

No doubt the league is not interested in a Finals that only fills the arena and TV schedule 4 times. They'll wring every dime out of this, the refs will assure it.

he already is past Kobe

You know what's insane? Steph has a 30/10/10, and not only was he not the best player on the floor, he hasn't even played well.

The Warriors = Ivan Drago.

Who's going to be Rocky?

This has not really been competitive. Not sure who thinks this is closer than the score indicated. The warriors have dominated the second half completely.

I just keep shaking my head at the amount of talent on that team. Truly not fair. Props to GS for drafting the majority of it though.

Makes the weakest move in sports history by joining an established superteam to make them even better - the same superteam that knocked him out of last years playoffs.  Now he looks like the Finals MVP on a team likely to win the championship.

Sad that his weakness is being so highly rewarded.
