THE NBA FINALS
LeBron vs. The Warriors
The Cleveland Cavaliers‘ one-man army will face the defending champs theA Golden StateA Warriors – for the 4th straight year.
LeBron James – possibly the greatest basketball player of all time – is actually anA UNDERDOG.
FLIP FOR WHY
Golden State Warriors
- Won 2 of the last 3 NBA Finals.
- Deep bench with sharp-shooters.
“Every game in the series takes on a different shape, but Game 7s are 10 times that because you throw everything you have out there on the floor. Just one last effort to get a win.a
Cleveland Cavaliers
- LeBron James has gone to the Finals every season since 2010 – longest streak since 1960s.
- With a weak roster, he played all 48 mins of Game 7 vs. Boston Celtics getting them to the Finals.
“It’s ridiculous, and he doesA it at this level and with the pressure, with the scrutiny – doesn’t matter.”
The twist in all this? LeBron is free to join a different team next season and there's been speculation that the Golden State Warriors are one of those teams. The best of 7 series starts Thursday. Who ya got? Click for the full schedule.
