No. Cleveland kicks ass. Enjoy your 30 year old media reports. Classy win by a world class city.
Curry sucked. Deal with it.
So what? They all do charities. It’s what’s expected by the league.
NBA cares you know
Boo hoo. We won. They lost. James is home for good. Bet on it.
Amen.
Nope. Just drove by the high school he wants his kids to attend today.
Fouls were even.
Go ahead. Bet on the Lions.....sucker.
Right on.
Lebron was more emotional about this win than with any championship win he had in Miami. He clearly loves Northeast Ohio. He is definitely home there. He earned my respect by returning there and going all in for them.
Yup. He came home. Hated him when he left. Loved his coming home message. Mission accomplished.
Me and the wife go on drives for fun. Didn’t know where we were today. Drive past St Vincent St Mary at 2pm purely out of the blue. People were in line 5 hours early for the watch party. It was then I knew we’d win.
Exactly! We deserve it and we are going to savor the moment.
Go Cleveland!!!!! Championship city!
In a close game, officiating can make it go either way. This is not the first time a pro sports championship was decided by referees, and by extension, the league. It’s the same kind of thinking that brought us our first black president. The story of Cleveland having the first championship in something is a bigger story than a fairly-played series. NBA wanted the story for the press attention. Golden State, ho hum. Cleveland, oh yeah!
wasn’t the last coach at Golden State, the one who was fired, a strong Christian and a former pastor?
The NBA is rigged, as was this series.
I think it was rigged too. I believe all sports are rigged, especially the NFL and the NBA. Not so much baseball, because the only judgement call a ref has to make is balls and strikes. NFL, a ref can call a penalty to keep drives moving.
Tom Donaghy, ref who was prisoned for a betting scandal, said 100% of the referees gamble.

Remember this series between the Kings and Lakers, where Tom Donaghy was a referee at in 2002. Claimed that the NBA encourages certain outcomes in major games. Lakers shot 27 free throws in the 4th quarter coming back to tie the series.
Congrats to Cleveland!
No longer “the mistake on the lake”.
Bread and circuses.
...Or go to work to clean up the mess after winning the Finals.
