Ya, that was kinda dumb Iguodala won it. I know he played a big role, but without Steph there is no championship. Without Iguodala they still might win it.

Iguodala had so much success because of how much attention Steph draws.

And Steph still averaged 26 ppg.

Not sure how you give it to Andre tbh.

Just goes to show that maybe blind love of Curry the Great and Powerful can be misplaced.

LeBron might end up with a different record too....most championships lost.

So far he is 2-4 in NBA finals appearances.

Go LeBron!! You can do it!!

Let me explain it in ha way you can understand.....You know how anytime Papa Smurf has to leave the smurf village to collect moon beams or water from the crystal springs and as soon as he is gone Brainy starts telling everyone how he is in charge and acting like he's the smurfiest smurf that ever Smurfed? Then he keeps harping on it until all the Smurfs think he is a pain in the smurf and want to beat the smurf out of him. And Everytime he tells all the smurfs that he is just as smart and capable as Papa smurf he ends up flooding smurf village or getting all the smurfs captured by Gargamel.

Brainy is smarter than the average smurf, he even shows some leadership qualities, but he is no Papa Smurf.

Lebron is Brainy for me.
 
Mozgov was a bit let down .. have you ever seen a 7 footer get the ball under the rim so often and make such hard work of trying to finish over 6-8 guys ???
 
LeBron: "I don't think any team has ever made it to the Finals without 2 all-stars before"

Really LeBron? You don't remember last year? 2014 Spurs.
 
Not one of his finer interviews. I guess I can't be too harsh though, the dude just lost in the Finals after a performance of the ages, he's entitled to a brain fart.

Obviously, but I really don't think that's what LeBron was talking about; he's talking about more in general: all star caliber player, which Duncan clearly was.

Eh maybe. Still a pretty stupid comment considering Kyrie Irving helped them get to the Finals.

He played at an all star level in the playoffs, just like he did this year.

grasping at straws, brother. He wasn't an all-star, plain and simple. Not only that-- 16, 9 and 2 isn't exactly screaming "all star level", otherwise we'd have a ton of all-star level bigs in this league.


Either way-- one man has taken a lower seeded team to a championship and won with a cast about as good as Cleveland's-- Hakeem the Dream.

It's not really grasping at straws. Just because he missed being an All-Star one year in a stacked conference doesn't mean he isn't all-star level. If he had been in the East he would have been an All-Star, so it's just a matter of conference rules that he wasnt.

there is a definitive difference between all-star, and all-star level. Your post could apply to probably 2o different western conference players-- which goes against he whole point of 'all-star'. If Lebron meant all-star level, he should have said so. Otherwise, both terms mean different things.

No. People get referred to as all stars all the time even if they didn't make it that particular year. There's "all star" as a phrase to categorize who made the actual team, and there's also the use of it as a more generic term. Would you really be throwing a fit if someone referred to Dirk as an all star?

But on the topic of the Dream: he's my favorite center of all time. Dude had it all.
