Historically, has there ever been an NBA game, let alone Game 7, with so much at stake? Just think about it:

You forgot that it was a chance for LeBron to achieve GOAThood, to go up there with Jordan and Kareem as arguably the best ever. And he took it.

The amazing thing is, the line between what you said and the ETERNAL CHOKER was insanely thin, and really put things into perspective when we discuss the greats of the past. The ring is truly magical, it's like Sauron himself forged it.

Inb4 the "purpose in life was to be born just in time to Legod win one for Da Land"

The aspect of Iggy getting revenge-cucked by LeBum is not talked nearly enough about.

And because of that Durant went to the Warriors and LeBrick career is over. Really makes you think.

Has a professional sports team ever made such a quick heel turn as the Warriors did?

I swear 2 years ago they were the lovable underdogs who were proving all the experts wrong about how you cant win with 3s, and Curry dancing with fans and having like 3 different kinda funny ESPN commercials, now they are the new Heat.

> Kyrie's got Curry's number
> LeBum is like 15-2 against the thin man
> Warriors now have Zaza and McGee instead of Bogut

Cleveland will be fine.

They barely won with Barnes bricking every shot, they will get massacred with Durant in his place.

thanks bosnia 3-1 is the best thing in the history of hoops

B8

Durant would have gone to the Warriors either way. He was desperate to win a championship, and I don't think he would have wanted to go to Cleveland.

It's literally real life meme magic.

meme magic made a lot happen this year.

tsuu'ing won the CL and euro
da foxes won the league la
and 3-1

if you bet 1 dollar on all these happening you'd be a billionaire

Game 6 2013. The big 3 probably get split up if Ray Allen doesn't hit the 3

Nah lad that game was game 6 of 2012 ECF. that was bigger legacy game for lebron because the big 3 never would have won a ring.

>tfw I posted that drake post
>tfw forever a part of the greatest meme magic in NBA history

Feels good.

Op you forgot that he atuslly won one for da land: an area where they hadn't won a championship in 50+ years

It's honestly about as good as it gets for sports stories.

You'd have to be a complete LeBron hater to not appreciate it.

What's he say to curry there?

The Golden State Warriors unironically broke the NBA regular season record with 73 wins, came back from a 3-1 deficit against the Oklahoma City Thunder, gained a 3-1 lead on the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals, and then lost 3 games in a row and did not win the championship. Stephen Curry unironically won unanimous MVP, back to back MVPs, and exclaimed "We not goin' home!" during a game, before being blocked by LeBron James a record 7 times in one series and indeed going home. Klay Thompson unironically said in a post game interview after going up 3-1 that basketball "is a man's game" and LeBron James "got his feelings hurt", LeBron proceeded to average 36pts/12ast/10reb and won the next 3 games and the championship. Draymond Green unironically avoided suspension for kicking Steven Adams in the balls twice, then STILL continued to play dirty and finally got suspended during the most important series of his life and ultimately cost his team its once historic and now infamous season.

These things all actually happened, the thoughts of this reality stay with me at all times. I go to sleep at night looking up at the stars, wondering what celestial being aligned the universe in such a way to make an event as amazing as this occur. I wake up smiling every morning knowing that the Warriors genuinely went 73-9 and choked a 3-1 lead in the Finals. That even if time is a nonlinear fourth dimension, going to back to stop it from happening will simply create another universe where it happens again. That the state of ass-blastedness emanating from the city of Oakland is eternal and infinite, it crosses countless dimensions of the multiverse and its unending torment knows no bounds. I gaze into the endless cosmic wonders around me, still in disbelief that it actually happened, but knowing that my purpose in life was to be born just in time to see LeGod get one for da land.

he definitely says "nigga" but i cant tell if he says "lil nigga" or "bitch nigga"

This. It's a feeling perhaps only matched by 18-1, but even then this is better.

This is premium pasta.

r8 it five stars

Yeah, but it's Cleveland, no one gives a shit about cancer.

But they don't compare to this.

>if
If a fucking leaf watches basketball, does he bandwagon Kobrick and/or the Memeiors?

raptors and lebron

This game was one of the happiest moments of my life. It was as if all the shit talking of so called "Warriors" fans catching up to them and the universe harnessing all the butthurt and tears into one mega burst of euphoria for everyone who knew the Warriors were a meme.

>scripted
>lets overpaid negros in this apehoop circus
>lebron became one of the greatest
>nike or adidas give him bilions
>nba profit for that
>finals scripted so good that even I did watch it
>i dont give a fuck bout apehoop

That, "indeed going home" on Curry kills me every time i read it.

>thin man

Pretty brazen of you to call the Warriors a meme when Cleveland has always been literally LeBron James: The Franchise. That's like the memeest meme of them all. How many "fans" did Cleveland have when LeBron was in Miami?

Where do I subscribe?

>> the Cavs with a chance to retroactively make the Warriors 2015 title win a FLUKE
Agree with everything except this

While the Cavs winning was amazing (and fucking hilarious), from a sports standpoint it's important to remember that the Dubs LOST this championship way more than the Cavs WON it.

Steph, Klay and Dray all played like trash the entire finals. The bench underperformed. Barnes built a small village in Africa with all his bricks. LeBron played out of his mind and Kyrie got insane buckets, while TT defied all expectations and actually played up to his 88mil contract.

All of that had to happen and the Cavs only lost by 4 POINTS. The gamewinning bucket coming from an INSANE shot by Kyrie. Forget one big three player from the warriors playing better, if one more shot had gone in for the warriors earlier in the game the entire finals would have been different. The Warriors had to absolutely collapse and play like utter trash for the Cavs to fucking scrape a win.

I feel like this fact might get forgotten in years to come and I reckon it's an important thing to remember.

Also while I'm hating, the block was incredible but I'm 90 sure it was a goaltend. I've seen the tape dozens of times and it really looks like it hit glass first.

>While the Cavs winning was amazing (and fucking hilarious), from a sports standpoint it's important to remember that the Dubs LOST this championship way more than the Cavs WON it.

It's semantics, potato-potatoe.

And your post has way too many "ifs". Here's one IF: If Love and Kyrie played in 2015, maybe the ending result would had been different.

Actually Klay played just fine. It's shortcoming was not being able to step up to the posterboy and tell him to either to stop doing stupid shit or give him the ball because Curry was 100% playing hero ball in game 7.

It covered up yet another terrible NBA postseason.

I wouldn't say it's quite semantics, I mean that the Cavs wouldn't have won had the Warriors done anything other than completely fall apart. Like, the dubs REALLY fucked it and that's the only reason the Cavs even had a shot. And of course, there's "ifs" in my post, but it's a hypothetical situation; the entire basis is an "if". I'm just saying, this series more than most highlights that. So many "unforced errors" on the Warriors' part, to use a tennis term.

>Klay played just fine
19ppg on 42% shooting and 35% from 3 when your only job is to get buckets and hit your fucking 3 pointers, nah that ain't fine. Your stats are supposed to jump in the playoffs, not dip substantially. By the way, that scoring average would be MUCH lower if he hadn't padded it with a 37 point game in the game 5 blowout loss. His +/- throughout the series was cancerous, too. Klay fucking sucked. Probably worse than Steph.

>no one gives a shit about cancer
But Legod did

Nah, he just wants his own franchise where he runs like 70% of things.

It literally is

I don't know whether to laugh or hug you

So that why he went to that shit heap called Cleveland? Only because of that? Not because he was raised around that area? Not because he made a promise to win them one before he left the first time?

10/10

>promises in sports

He ran away because Pat Riley didn't want any of his shit anymore. He just wants to run a franchise, and Cleveland where they worhip him like a deity happens to be the first/best choice.

But that not the only reason he went back, lad.

He could had went to better franchises back then and even then there were people that loved outside of that wasteland.

He clearly have some emotional attachments to that area

It was a career crossroads for LeBron, just like Superbowl 49 was a career crossroads for Tom Brady

God would that have been annoying for that phony Wilson and Sherman to win another owl. I wasn't even upset that Brady and Belichick won another one. They're both insanely good and hard working at their craft. Meanwhile Wlson is just a whore.
