Wow, just wow!

That was amazing. (Advert for NBA)

LeBron - damn, that block!
Irving - that shot
Steph - nothing but air

Live by the three, die by the three. It seems that is still relevant today.

Absolutely awesome game from both teams but so glad Cavs won

Lebron and Kyrie = what was expected of them
Love and JR Smith = stepped up

Steph and Klay = didn't quite get their best
Green = stepped up

Bogut = missed his rim protection
Delly = got his ring

Bogut's absence was the difference, I reckon.

So glad Delly got his ring.

What are the odds both teams will be back in the Finals next year?

Cav's coach didn't play four others in that team anon, leaving it to his biggest budget players to get the job done, which they of course did.

Your petty jealousy is unwarranted, so I suggest you crawl back under that rock from which you slithered out of and accept he is just so much better than you will ever be, even in your dreams!

Gaze, our greatest ever player, was sitting where when he picked up his ring?

Seriously, you just sound like a dick. Delly played a significant role as first option PG off the bench for the Cavs for most of the season.

By the way, you know that Mo Williams is a different kind of player than Delly? He has a 52 point game in the NBA on his resume. So what if he was promoted off the bench before Delly in the last couple of games? What point do you think you actually prove by mentioning it?

Delly by grabbing this ring and being a part of this team has assured himself of an extended stay in the NBA.

And yet he is the one drinking champagne right now... Life must be unfair for you.

In the last 6:38 of Game 5, the Warriors scored 1 point. In the last 4:38 of Game 7, they went scoreless.

The Cavalier's defensive ability may have been underrated before Isaac, but not now!

That said, I agree with the 'live by the three, die by it' theory, these days too...

Amazing series, loved every minute of it that I got to watch. Lebron was amazing, Kyrie was just as good and a seven games series coming down to who executes in the last 2 minutes of play is pretty incredible, just shows how close these teams are.

Also - people above bagging Delly don't actually understand basketball at all, not worth responding to.

Anon, in some ways Delly deserves this ring more than anyone else.

He got there, dragged himself into the position where he got to watch that incredible game from the best seat, got himself a championship ring, and got to join in the celebrations as one of the team where conventional basketball wisdom suggested he was too slow, too unathletic, too talentless and too offensively limited.

He has stared down every critic and mocker. He has exceeded most anyone's expectations for his basketball career. And now he is laughing his ass off at his critics right now, including you, and you are the one with egg on face not to realise it.

He doesn't need to impress you. He is a champion in more ways than one, regardless of your irrelevant views.

According to ESPN, LeBron lead the Finals series in ...

Points
Rebounds
Assists
Steals
Blocks

First player in ANY series to do that.

That is beyond epic. I am fully in the MJ is GOAT camp, but LeBron has etched his mark as the only real challenger to the crown.

Magic now says LeBron is top 5 all time. I think he is a smaller group at the top than that.

This is what Delly is about and why he earned his ring.

Bogut also sat out last years NBA finals. Do you have anything to say about that Anonymous?

And to anon who is always bagging the crap out of Delly, way h that clip and THAT is the difference between you and Mathew dellavadova in a nut shell,

He has the ability to do something g you will never understand

I love threads where the fact someone being in the NBA makes them untouchable. Like noone on here has trashed LeBron or Steph these finals...

Why has this turned into a thread about Delly?

I'm lost for words on Lebron..1-3 down against a 73-9 regular season team, heading to Oracle fortress..he has 41...goes for another 41..then has a triple double today

The stat about LBJ leading every category is absolutely ridicolous and solidifies him as a great

An unbelievable storyline..i didn't give them a hope in hell when they were down 1-3 but Lebron always had that sense of belief and never once had a defeatist look on his face.

Curry is ridicolously overhyped and he showed that this series. More turnovers than assists, ill advised shots, foul trouble (funny he complains..he doesn't slide his feet and has a habit of hand checking badly). They looked better when he was on the bench..just my opinion. Currys a great player but theres absolutely no question LBJ is the best player in the world..anyone who thinks otherwise knows nothing about basketball.

Totally agreed Macdub

LeBron WOW just WOW, how the hell did he pull this series win off!

Tyronn Lue has to be the worst coach to win a ring surely? The Knicks curse also continues.

Cavs scraped by and got a little lucky in the end. Good game though and glad to see the Warriors pay for going after a record first

On another note, the post game presentations, WTF?

Living legend and the man the MVP trophy is named after, Bill Russell was left standing like a starved bottle of milk while the commissioners swooned over LBJ, that was very poor indeed...

I expect there will be some apology by the NBA to Sir Bill after that poor showing of disrespect and neglect!

It's nothing new to Bill though unfortunately

Harsh, but fair.

From the highlights I saw, Curry looked pretty casual and reckless. Warriors should've played their small-ball line-up and Kerr should've ripped Curry for his approach when things were on the line.

Curry has said that he shouldn't have settled for the last 3 that he put up. Was more of an open shot than what Kyrie had though. It's only a bad shot if you don't make it I guess.

Given the way the Warriors struggled against the tough and physical Cavs defence, I think I now agree with the oldies who reckon the Bulls had to fight so much harder to achieve their record.
On that basis, I'd say the Bulls would beat the Warriors in a fantasy game between the two.

So, the NBA also engineered it so that the Warriors missed key shots at the end of the game did they anon?
