SBNation is rapidly becoming my goto for sports.
5 ways the Warriors angered the basketball gods.
Skip Bayless is still a douchebag.
Cavs fan dabs Dell Curry. Dell's face in response is hilarious.
Stone Cold Kevin Love. Not sure what the backstory is, but the Cavs were rocking WWE "attitude era" t-shirts in the finals. K-Love's Austin shirt and LeBron was showing up to press conferences during the Finals sporting Undertaker shirts.
Good for them. Funny how great we all get along when united by something.

Golden State favorites for next year.
Big disclaimer that those odds are prior to free agency moves, and thus, subject to change.
Since Warriors lost, Scottie Pippen says 95-96 Bulls team is still the best ever.

Re: NBA
Nice theory Scott has, but we'll never know for certain. That said, if GS can't beat Cleveland, then they can't take on the Bulls at their zenith.

Re: NBA
He won a title for Cleveland. I think everyone in Cleveland would be disappointed to see him go, but wouldn't hate him for it. He'd return to a hero's welcome.
If he really wants to go play with a bunch of other aging stars for a badly run franchise in the Western conference where they'd immediately be the fourth best team (maybe third as the Spurs look to be done), that's his call.
I honestly think Cleveland will be fine in that scenario. They still have Kyrie and Love, and can move Love back to where he belongs. They'd still be a contender.

Re: NBA
I'm not even hearing all that talk.. Lebron is going nowhere.
And I can get used to being a champion. Its like I've been driving around in Ford Escort all my life and then someone drops a Bentley in your lap. HELLO! I must say, I look good in a Bentley!!
Oh yeah, and Lebron getting off the plane with the trophy in hand and wear an "Ultimate Warrior" tee-shirt... priceless! I love it!!

Re: NBA
...and everyone that wanted to see Cleveland burn and riot after they became champions. EAT IT!
a grand total of 5 people got arrested that night. Great showing for the city that gets so much hate and a bad reputation.

Re: NBA
Well, you refuse to believe it, but it is a possibility. Not just because some talking heads are throwing it out there either.I'm not even hearing all that talk.. Lebron is going nowhere.
Truthfully, would you be as mad as last time he left? I doubt it.
The man will retire in Ohio, and I truly believe he will retire a Cav. However, he might wind up going someplace else for his senior citizen victory lap that he and his friends want to put together.
I mentioned earlier that they had some WWE thing going. LeBron wearing all his Undertaker shirts in press conferences and Love wearing the Austin 3:16 one after they won.Oh yeah, and Lebron getting off the plane with the trophy in hand and wear an "Ultimate Warrior" tee-shirt... priceless! I love it!!

Re: NBA
No, I refuse to believe it because I wanna enjoy what happened less than 2 days ago!Well, you refuse to believe it, but it is a possibility.
Sure, anything is a possibility. Vegas gave the Cavs a 12% chance to win before the series started and less than 5% when they were down 3-1. So yeah, I believe just about anything can happen right now.
But I'm not hearing that talk right now. Right now I'm talking CHAMPS beyooootch!!! WOOOOOO!!!!

Re: NBA
Does anyone honestly think that Lebron would miss the ring ceremony and the raising of the banner for the first home game next season? Sometimes these national talking heads are just flat out ignorant.
Sorry, not happening. Lebron will be back to defend his title next season.
Now if they lose next season and he's got no title to defend and with the new CBA coming in place at that time... Then I could see something like that happening.

No, but really, anyone think that's real?

Re: NBA
Just check out the madness of the parade. 1.2 Million people downtown! The local radio station is saying that the streets are so packed that they might have to skip the parade!

On the plus side, they could skip cleaning up all the litter and no one would know the difference.

You don't have a ring, a relatively small group of tall dudes does.

Re: NBA
The parade is at a complete stand still. Lebron is sitting in a convertible that can move maybe 5-10 feet at a time and then he's just stopped there in the middle of the road with thousands of people within arms reach. They have no way to get people out of the way and watching this makes me wonder how long this thing can go on for before they actually call it off. From a security standpoint its a major issue.
