It's like I have always said, all you need to win the NBA championship is the best player in the universe.

Some NBA team needs to hire me as GM - I have the winning formula.
 
Heat won, fair and square. Personally, I think this series was so good, there are no losers. The Big 3 of the Spurs put up a legendary effort and came super close and are several years older.

Too bad you don't have the formula (or balls) to win at Risk. You should play, a little humiliation would do you some good.

I have never played it, do not know what it is and I think I proved during Mafia that I am an impediment to any game's flow.

Lebron played great but Spurs should have won it in 6. Pretty much hate everything about the Miami Heat and their joke of a fanbase but happy for Ray, he's class all the way. After Lebron, Kawhi was the best player on the court, he is one hell of a player.

Ray's 3 in Game 6 turns out to be like Buckner's error, in reverse.

Yes, Leonard, very much so.

Bummed that Danny Green came back down to earth after breaking Ray's record, that it was Battier who played the crafty old pro hero tonight, and that Duncan missed that shot at 90-88.

but Ginobili destroyed them, game six felt like game 7, game 7 it was a good game but you never got the sense that SA would pull it out
 
Ray's shot single-handedly swung LeBron and Tony Parker's legacies. Parker had an epic close to Game 6 that would have been legendary (especially when paired with his miracle shot in Game 1), while LeBron had just had two crucial turnovers that would have been an albatross around his neck (especially when paired with the Mavs series and the 75 cents joke about not getting four quarters from him).

Game 7, LeBron was epic, and Parker wilted.

It's never just the superstar.. guys like Paxson, Kerr, Horry, Mario Elie, and Ray Allen (even though he's a better player than any of those other guys) inevitably make plays that swing championship series
 
Whan an series. Best of my lifetime. I truly hope we never have to hear "LeBron's not clutch!" ever again. I don't think there was ever a doubt among reasonable men that LBJ was the best player in the world, but I didn't realize how large that gap was until this series. BTW, the fact that Tim Duncan is still playing at this level at age 37 should cement his legacy as the best player of his generation.

Lebron is a gifted athlete and an amazing player; but he doesn't play or conduct himself like a champion. Whiner, flopper, glory hog.
 
Once again, when the chips are down, Miami comes through. They have simply become the most resilient, mentally tough team in the league. Very different from when they first put this team together and were still trying to figure it out.
 
These last two games and really whole series were phenomenal. I was fortunate in one regard to be on a business trip so I went to bars for each game. Atmosphere was great, young-old, male-female, etc., everyone had a rooting interest and watched every possession.

Wanted Spurs, so game 6 was tough and I guess good that Ray makes one of the most clutch shots in NBA history, despite my fan interest.

I think the 2 things that are most memorable right now are just the way Duncan willed his team and Bron making the big shots all night in game 7.

And a 3rd would be the effect of the one dimensional role player like Battier or Green on games. I think at one point I liked Battier somewhat, I was wrong.

Agree with all of that, but the big takeaway for me, in terms of surprise, is discovering how good Leonard is.

now waiting to see who starts calling that idiot coach eric a genius like they have done with Phil J
Give me those Bull teams and those Lakers teams along with current Heat and I'll hire D Perno and make him a legend
Give me a break - what happened to Phil J when MJ decided to play baseball?

They won like 55 games and lost a game seven to the Knicks in the semi-finals.

Phil Jackson has won 11 titles as a coach.

He's bulletproof.

Thumbs down. You need to get past "The Decision." The kid has copped to that being a disaster many times. Duncan, Ginobili, et al. flop and whine just as much, if not more, than Lebron. The hate he absorbs is mystifying to me. And you notice it seems to roll off his shoulders? Everyone in the world was rooting against him in game 7 and he just went out and dropped 40, took Parker out of the game, and won his second straight ring. Ho hum.

It's not like he's out getting arrested or embarrassing himself and the league, he's been with the same woman since high school, he gives great interviews, understands the game and its history, shows a ton of respect to Pop and Duncan in victory, talks at length about what an honor it is to be mentioned in the same sentence with the all-time greats. What more do you want from the kid?
