For all you NBA fans, great series, great year for the young Golden State team, some new Blood winning the NBA Crown.
Oh sorry Lebron, you made it to the finals 6 times, but your 2 wins don't put you in MJs class... maybe next year.....

It feels good since I watched them win it in person (10-12 games?) in 1975 with Rick Berry while living in Redwood City!

| I believe you mean Rick Barry he was one of the last players to shoot the granny shot free throw. On another note my son plays basketball in high school with his cousins son's son Brendan Barry, New Jersey shore conference player of the year. |

I'm surprised anyone outside the Bay Area knows they won it. All I see all over ESPN and other media outlets are articles about Lebron.
East Coast Bias in full Effect!

Take a look at a map sometime.
Cleveland is "America's Armpit" and it's in the midwest. If LeBron had been in California, you would have heard wall to wall Golden State coverage.

I know where Cleveland is. Take a look at a map and tell me if Oakland or Cleveland is closer to the East Coast.

Home many superstars are left in the NBA? James is one of the few. I still contend that James is the only reason for the bias. Golden State doesn't have a significant marque player.

I would grant you that he is probably the best one-on-one player, but definitely not the best "complete" basketball player. It is a team sport, after all. GS understood that, and that has a lot to do with their winning. Look at the bench stats, too; they are very telling. |

Dude averaged a triple double, thats kinda the definition of a complete player. 
Cavs lost because Golden State is loaded with talent (4 current allstars) and they play great ball movement basketball. GS won a record 73 games last year and then added a 4 time scoring champion/leagueMVP/Current finals MVP in Kevin Durant. Congrats Warriors on the 2nd of many. I've been a big Warrior fan since Klay Thompsons rookie year, they'll be my team til the Lakers can get back out of the basement.  Still, Lebron is the King. Look out MJ.

How many championships would Jordan have won if he had played on the same team with Magic, Bird, Charles, Patrick, Reggie or Isaiah instead of playing against them?
