Actually, a point could be made that they both deserved the MVP. It took both of them to play phenomenal the last few games to pull this series out. I have no problem with LeBron getting the MVP, but I would've liked to see a co-MVP if that's even possible. And I'm by no means a LeBron or a Cavs fan. Just my two cents from a distance.
No fuckin way. Kyrie had a great offensive series, but this is why LBJ is the undisputed MVP. (Taken from a post by bhelm)
I know the stats. Mvp's aren't based solely off of stats. All I'm saying is if Kyrie doesn't ball like he did, Cleveland would've lost the series.
I'm glad for LeBron and Cleveland. LeBron has taken a lot of heat and criticism over the years, while being the best player in the world. I hope this quieted those critics. He was the best player on the floor in games 5-7. What Golden State represented to me -- the Oregon / Baylor HUHN offense that scored a lot of points. Yes, they were strong defensively, but it was going to take a physical beating to overcome them..... and Cleveland did that.
During the post-game interview he also yelled, "Cleveland, this is for you!". There are two sides my friends.
I know what you mean. By all accounts he is a good guy, never been in trouble even in high school, never beat his wife or got caught with drugs and they say he is a good teammate and locker room guy. Still, I can't bring myself to like him. My only consolation in this is that the long suffering fans of Cleveland, a blue collar great sports town finally got to celebrate a championship in any sport for the first time in the lives of most of them while the effete chardonnay sipping fans of the Bay Area have to cry in their brie.
To me it was the cocky attitude "not 1 not 2 not 3" crap. It was bad but as he's gotten older that has sort of gone away, maturity maybe. I know I couldn't stand him early.
