ofcourse you need a TEAM, but a player can make a big difference if he is a standout. A.I, Kobe, MJ for example would have attacked with no regard for human life at the start of the 3rd. Lebron is very passive.

MrBlend It's team basketball we are talking about. And of course it takes certain level of skills and high basketball IQ to be able to play together like the Warriors. The game just gets a lot easier. MJ knew how to take advantages of triangle offense and got himself lots of easy shots. He was very smart. Kobe, particularly in 2011, was doing lots of iso, while other players were stationary. He made lots of tough shots, but could've made many more easier ones.

LJ is the best.

73-9 has been the best series record, falling short meant their championship dreams were on the line!

Livingston is playing like the Cavalier's kryptonite. He dominates their second unit guards.

you realize that steph wasn't in the game that much cuz of foul trouble right? when they went on that big run it was because of Draymond and a couple others with Steph on the bench. Also, don't include Klay as the reason they need Steph, otherwise you're going against your own point of them needing Steph. Their entire team plays well together, they are an actual team Steph is a great player but looks even better because of the team.

Bruh, so if 2 finals in a row the supposed best player in the universe isn't the Finals MVP doesn't that mean he's got some great teammates to back him up? Last Finals it was Andre and this Finals it may end up being Draymond. Unless Curry has 1 good game then they'll just give it to him cuz logic.

Dude, I'm not saying he's the best player in the NBA Finals. I'm saying he is important, and they indeed need him. And besides, he is the MVP in the season for a reason, and not the NBA Finals for a reason. Period. You go off topic, like normal people in the comment section.

Somehow the real Finals was the OKC vs GSW. 6 straight Finals is not such a great feat, any great player/team in the West would have done the same if they were in the East.

true Wiggins would of reach over half of his potential under LBJ up to this point. As a Wolves fan I am extremely happy he is on my team but always wondered how LBJ and Wiggins would dominate together and in my opinion it might be close or better than Wade and LBJ cuz they both are 6'8 with over 7ft wingspan and are athletic and can jump out the gym. Instead they should of traded Kyrie for CP3 cuz CP3 is a real PG and Floor General and not a wanna be Steph Curry who plays too much HERO BALL

Yea guess what, your “team ball” apparently doesn’t work since warriors took that fat L

give it up to Livingston and barbosa. they've been putting in wonderful work for the bench.

This team would’ve won multiple chips without KD. The only reason they got KD was because he was a free agent. They only needed another imposing big with size and shot blocking ability
