Took Cavs in 7. Kyrie playing peak Kyrie makes it interesting.

Kyrie was actually better in the playoffs last year.

He does seem like a top 15ish player in the league now.

I'm rooting for the Warriors, not against Lebron. Summed up here:

Or, if GS had won, something something Lebron isn't as good as MJ, something something Lebron chokes in the finals again, lol Cleveland again. KD going to GS was icing on the cake, due to the amount of hate he's gotten on this forum at times.

None of the criticism really means that much in the grand scheme of things of course, but it makes rooting for the team that lost last year that much more enjoyable for me, even though there is the potential that Cle gets to the finals and beats GS again, because Lebron is literally amazing.

One thing I don't agree with is this notion that rooting for GS if you're not from there is evil/inexcusable/whatever. This isn't some David vs. Goliath type matchup, it's ****ing Goliath vs Goliath.

The Warriors have constructed the best team in the league, have been to 3 straight finals, and yes, they have an embarrassment of riches. Lebron has been to 7 straight finals, will likely (deservingly) go down as GOAT, and has done everything he can to build dominant super teams since leaving Cleveland in 2010. No one should feel sorry for either team losing in the finals here.

It's an unsavoury mix of 2010s eastern teams' fans left in His wake, feckless Michael and Bryant homers, a smattering of racists, a couple Dirk stans I guess, and the 👑 💩himself: AJ.

I love Lebron and love watching him. But he's definitely arrogant and condescending constantly. You guys think The Decision was just a blip?

He does so much borderline stuff (how he talks to refs, "embracing villain" in Mia, sipping beer while obliterating my Raps) that's obscured by his charisma.

On the whole he does far more good than evil of course

The Letter was far more of a joke than the Decision since just about everyone bought "I'm coming home" narrative

but hey, MJ murdered kittens in his spare time and was covertly one of the biggest douchebags OAT so whatever works

Do you know what I'm referencing? How would you describe it?

He's a showboat and it's usually fine, but he pushes it sometimes.

Yes I know exactly what you're referencing. And no that wasn't pushing it at all, lighten up

The Warriors take the cake when it comes to showboating.

Ok fine pick another example. There are many, including the other 3 in my post. He's always antagonizing the other team / fans and it's usually funny but sometimes it rubs people the wrong way.

I already said I love him, but many don't and someone asked why. Those things are the reasons.

Yup people hate on them for the same reasons. Really just depends how you feel about that stuff. I mostly find it entertaining but it can get under people's skin
