So the finals begin, Choose your narrative:
Story A) Cavs win and Lebron beats a team with 4xAllstars. Many people will argue that it will be the deciding factor that pushes Lebron past MJ in terms of GOAT status, personally I don't think Lebron will ever surpass MJ but it's something the Lebron ****riders will never concede if he wins.
Story B) #theskinnycoward gets his "ride along" ring and the intolerable GSW's become even more intolerable...
Kind of a lose lose for me personally but for the simple fact I don't want to the listen to the MJ v Lebron BS debate I'll ride with #theskinnycoward and his cronies.

Avg. margin of victory in Cavs wins: 26 pts.
Marcus Smart, aside from his Game 3 outburst, shot under 20% for the series.
LeBron all the way. Can't hardly stand the Golden State Band-wagoners.

As oppose to those hardcore LeBron fans that jumped on board after he won his first championship and switched to Miami fans and then back again? At least there are plenty of GS fans that endured one of the ****tiest organizations before they built a championship team based on the draft picks, none of which were really good picks. Ws are the team the Jazz are most hoping to copy.
Internal growth from their own guys and a few smart trades to bring in vets to win it all. Then you have big name FAs come to you in the off season to win more and try and make a dynasty.
That is pretty amazing. I'm very close to being willing to concede that Lebron has passed Michael as GOAT.
At least Cleveland didn't need 4 All Stars on their team to have to try and win it though.
Also they tanked hard that year and stole our pick that turned to Harrison Barnes and jump start their rise.
I guess you forgot about that.
I didn't forget about that. Jazz have tanked multiple years to get to where they are now. I mean LeBrons teams have always had 3 all Stars. I guess 4 is the tipping point? Also GS didn't have 4 or 3 all Stars the year they won it all.
Well they stole that pick from us and that hurts. When people steal from me I don't tend to like them very much.

Only player ever to lead both finals teams in points, rebounds and assists, and he's done it twice. Should have won finals MVP as the loser a couple years ago when Iggy won it. Lots of people don't like him, but when their dislike turns in to some narrative about how MJ was way better or LeBron did the same thing as KD, it's just something dumb to say out of personal bias.

Did they steal from us when we let Alsap walk for nothing, too? Everybody knows the rules and everybody knows that teams tank when they are out of contention for the playoffs. The fact that Utah decided to try and make the playoffs with a critically flawed team and a inevitable rebuild around the corner was just bad management on Utah's part. Actually, terrible management.
I want lebron to win it all.
My heart says cavs but my head says warriors

Yeah but then Hayward sees that and decides it's better to go East to avoid the Warriors since the Cavs are weaker....
He would still have to play Golden State in the Finals. The goal should be to win the Finals not just get there.

But it also would make the Celtics seem that much worse, since they got blown out by the Cavs. So I think it helps rather than hurts Hayward's chances of returning to Utah.
