    Warriors in 6 maybe even 5 is my prediction. Warriors are just too stacked. Even for LBJ. Cavs would NEED big numbers from the rest of the team in order to have a chance at a rolling Warriors team. I just don’t see it happening. With that being said. I LOVE a good under dog story. Let’s go Cavs!!!!

    Wow. I wonder what this author really thinks.
    ______

    Here's why, win or lose in NBA Finals,
    it's time to call LeBron James the greatest ever

    Time to stop hedging and hesitating. Time to stop acting as if you need a little more evidence or maybe another ring. Fifteen seasons in, you can finally say it without feeling the old guilt of blasphemy (as long as you are willing to endure the perfunctory and incredulous outcry from in and around Chicago).

    LeBron James is the greatest ever.

    No asterisk required. No yeah-buts, no maybe-someday.

    Right now and until some slightly beyond-human mutant who's even better comes along.

    The. Greatest. Ever.​

    Wonder if LeBron can take a hit like this and not whine.

    Ha! LeBron would've cried and said Kevin Garnett did it on purpose!

    Further down in that article about LBJ.
    _______

    "And, no, not even Michael Jordan was, at least by my eye and reckoning, although parsing LeBron vs. Michael rather than simply celebrating the other-worldly majesty of both is like arguing Beethoven or Mozart while the symphony plays. (I guess Kobe would be Bach in my scenario?)​

    "Call Jordan the greater champion, fine. Call him more iconic, a better pure scorer. OK. The more artful acrobat. Sure, whatever. But for me the bigger, more physically dominant James is a more complete player as mirrored by more average rebounds and assists than Jordan, and also a better career shooting percentage. Again, it isn't any knock on Jordan, whose place in history can never be diminished."​

    See? ^ That's why I decided to never play hockey. ^ :confused:

    OK, not really. I grew up in Memphis, and there was no ice there then,
    except for the rare 4" snow storm that allowed sleds and snowmen,
    but then it was gone the next day.

    But getting hit in the teeth by a ph*cking puck is a close second. :eek:

    But then, there's this.

    Is this LBJ or MJ?

    Who cares? :confused:

    It's all just music.

    Then, back down to where you'd want to sleep. -- see sigline

    Sleep.

    That's what I'm going to do soon.

    ETA: noon next day. And sleep I did.

    What was the topic? Oh, right: basketball.
