I think Kyrie and Lebron should be dual MVP's. I don't think they make it to game 7 without him.

As a Bulls fan I really wanted anyone to knock off GS.  And I really don't like their style of jacking up 3s, even though they are good at it.

 

Hogimus Prime

I hated Lebron in Miami and the way it all went down, but after that I'm Coming Home letter I kinda started pulling for him. That and I got sick of hearing about the Warriors run and shoot offense.

Alohawg said he doesn't care who wins, but bashes LBJ and Cleveland, and cries about calls all game long in this thread. You must be miserable right now.

Nobody can say LeBron doesn't have talent in Cleveland. Irving is outstanding and very young.

Neither team is my team and really didn't care. I did start to pull for the Cavs as the game progressed though, thus the criticism of James. 9/24 fg% and 5 turnovers is not a greal game 7 performance. However he redeemed himself at the end with a tremendous block and clinching ft. I'm happy for Cleveland, they earned it in the end. Personally I would have called Irving mvp for this game.
So no, not miserable, sorry.

And that run down block will be "the play" they show over and over.  Kyrie's 3 was the biggest shot, but that block was on another level of greatness.

Honest question, should the block have been goaltending? His left hand hit the rim..

Dr. Starcs

I thought it did too.
Not sure what the proper call is.

Absolute choke job by the unanimous MVP and the warriors. Green balled out, but his bonehead shot to the groin in game 4 is what sealed the deal here. That and losing bogut for the last two.

Splash brothers couldn't do jack when somebody got physical with them.

The MVP isn't for a game, it is for a series. LBJ was hands down the MVP over 7 games.

Ball wasn't above the cylinder, and he didn't grasp the rim, so no. Had he grabbed it, it could have been called.

I think James was the MVP too. He lead all players in every stat for both teams. Kyrie didn't just have 1 great game though. He played out of his mind the whole series. James did what was expected of him, but Irving was the difference maker. This thing doesn't get past game 5 if Irving doesn't have that insane shooting game he had.

Again, James was the MVP. What Irving did wouldn't have mattered if James wasn't there, but Irving was the key piece to getting the Cavs over the hump.

Golden State has no game other than shooting 3s.  Cleveland flat shut that down the last 4:30.. and Golden State didn't score a single point during the last four minutes.

It appeared as both teams were physically and mentally exhausted with about 5 minutes left, and neither team could make a shot for the longest.  It seemed to stay on 89-all for an eternity.

Irving hit that big 3 pointer with 53 seconds left, and that was all she wrote for the Warriors.  It kinda reminded me of Scotty Thurman's huge 3 to beat Duke in 1994.

That block was mighty close to being goal tending.  James did hit the ball BEFORE it hit the backboard, and the ball was still going up.  Had the ball hit the backboard first, it would have been goal tending.

There have only ever been 4 triple doubles in Finals game 7s and you would deny one of those four guys mvp for the game?

Lebron has answered his critics in a big way. He legitimately is in the conversation with Jordan, Bird, Chamberlain, Russell, West, The Big O, as one of the best ever. Plus, he is a pretty good guy.

Ironically, this comes just a few weeks after his comment that he was no Ali (he's not) nor Jordan (book not closed on that one yet).

OK?  It is a series MVP, not game MVP.... Though a triple double and his defensive impact (including that incredible late block) are certainly deserving even if it were just about game 7.

Lebron cemented himself into Legend status.  That block was jaw dropping.

They say there's one in every family.

It would also help to note that offense is only ONE aspect of the game. A guy that leads his team in every category but rebounds but still had double digits in that category played a much more complete game and held way more influence in putting his team in position to win. Irving himself said so in an interview after the game.

Irving had a special game, but still didn't score as many as Lebron and the block was probably an even bigger play because it would have changed the entire game at that moment to where the Cavs would have HAD to score just to extend the game. That's a totally different shot than shooting to break a tie.

Hardly. Bryant was definitely one of the great scorers but he was such an arse in the locker room that he held his teams down until they could amass nearly overwhelming talent around him. I mean, he was Shaq's sidekick, not the other way around and when he finally won without him it took four other lottery picks to get the job done.

I would take Wilt, Alcindor, Big O, Bird, Magic, Jordan, Elvin Hayes, Shaq, Russell, and even Lebron over Kobe all day long. As a matter of fact, the Lakers wanted Lebron over Kobe. They actually approached Cleveland about trading them straight across but Gilbert said no.

So no, Lebron would have to take a step back to be in a conversation involving Kobe.
