So, did the 72-10 Bulls lose in the finals? I can't recall right now.

No. As I recall hey lost 2 games in the finals and people were saying it lessened the accomplishment.

Gotta understand just how much people had to reach when it came to being negative about Jordan and the Bulls.

This is quite possibly the best championship win in NBA history. He could have gone to better franchises and easily won two more already. He wanted to win one for home and took down the supposedly best team in history.

 

[pete6032]

Wow. That's all I have to say.

 

[zerocool84]

First team ever to come back down 3-1 and win the championship.

Ever

That's a better record than having the single season record

 

[zerocool84]

What is Curry's wife gonna tweet now? The NBA made Steph choke?

Yeah it doesn't get much more as story book ending than this. So many amazing stories underlying it.

I'm sure Speedtard will repost that 16 GSW still had more total wins making them the GOAT over the 96 Bulls.

"Greatest offensive weapon of all time."
"Better than Jordan."
"First ever unanimous MVP."
"Better than the 1996 Bulls."

Suck it. Curry shriveled up and folded in the playoffs, most importantly in the Finals.

NBA clearly rigged. Cleveland paid Curry to go invisible. Cleveland bribed Lebron to have the best finals performance in NBA history.

Couldn't have said it better.

Warriors fan, but really happy for Cleveland they do deserve to win one. No shame to lose to unbelievable performance by Lebron and Kyrie.

 

[child of wonder]

No because they didn't rely on solely jump shots to win. Live by the three, die by the three.

This x 1,000,000

Shooting 50 three pointers a game is a gimmick, just one possible offensive option. Overuse it and get torched. That shit doesn't work in the playoffs.

Umm you have that wrong.

Shriveled up in TWO finals. Count them....... TWO finals that he disappeared.

LeBron looks like he's crying more than when he won his first championship.

I'm sure this one means a lot more to him.

He totally deserves it, he really puts the team on his back every finals.

 

[smackababy]

He totally deserves it, he really puts the team on his back every finals.

While his performance was outstanding, he had a lot of help. Kyrie going off offensively, Thompson crashing the boards and playing outstanding defense. Love not playing a few games so they can win.

 

[zerocool84]

Who would have thought Mo Williams would have won a championship in Cleveland???

 

[DesiPower]

just goes to show how rigged NBA is by building records out if a house of cards during the regular season. Once their puffed up pet was let loose in the wild, Lebron single handedly made them his personal bitch

Lebron's defense was key in this game (his block on Iggy was the game defining play after Kyrie's 3), but I agree Kyrie and Thompson were big this series.

Well duh, any team that wins championships can't win with literally one player but James yet again shows why he's a top 5 player.

People don't want to admit it, but a lot of teams lay down in the regular season. You can make the playoffs winning 50+ games. Nobody needs to win them all.

But, you know, parity...

 

[Adrenaline]

Did LeBron lead everyone in points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks? He was #1 in four of them and tied for most in rebounds before game seven.
