Too exhausted to put together a video with the time I have, but I’ll go ahead and drop a couple thoughts right here.
The NBA is not rigged. First of all, there’d be TOO MANY people to pay off smh. Players, coaches, refs, broadcasters, owners, team staff (a ref actually did fed time for trying to fix games a few years back). If you’re LeBron – net worth around $250M – how much money would you have to charge to throw a game? The first thing I ask when people say sports are rigged is “then who gets the money?”, because if you’re telling me a guy like Kyrie – who just signed a $90M deal – is going to purposely break his kneecap in the Finals, I’d have to believe that whoever ‘rigged’ the game is paying him more than his contract. If your answer is ‘the NBA’, please go sit at the kids table. Not likely.
But about this series. . .
I get the casual fan’s disdain for LBJ – there comes a point where too much success turns people off. I hated Michael Jordan when he was playing. He’s now my favorite athlete of all time. But for the real basketball watchers who discount what LeBron has done, shame on you. He could not play another minute in the NBA and still be considered legendary. Curry is NO WHERE CLOSE to that type of stature. Back to back 41 point games in the NBA Finals where your team is facing elimination – put some fuggin respeck on Bron’s name.
Curry is human, and so are the Warriors. After a record breaking 73 win season the Dubs are 7-6 in their last 13 games. There is a chink in the armor, and LeBron James is standing there with a sword to do em in. BTW if the Warriors lose in the Finals I never will entertain ANY talk of them being the best team ever.
Kevin Love is important to this team’s success, but the Warriors are just a matchup nightmare for him. Fortunately for the Cavs Coach Lue has found ways to win without his third best player.
Speaking of Lue – can we now definitively say that he’s clearly a better choice for THIS team than Blatt? Not saying his coaching has been perfect in the playoffs, but he’s 3-3 with the NBA’s back to back Coach of the Year, and his team has dominated the last two games. I know I know, no Kyrie or Kevin last year – but the Cavs look like they’re having fun under Lue. Under Blatt they looked like they were just punching a time clock smh. Shout out to Lue.
Back to LeBron – a win in Game 7 elevates him to Super Legend mode. Haters gon’ hate, but they’ll just look like crybabies.
Was that too long? Lmao. #AllIn #CavsIn7 #MattyWillz
