    'I always look at it....would I rather not make the playoffs or lose in the finals? I don't know, I don't know...I've missed the playoffs twice, I've lost in the finals 4 times. I'm almost starting to be like I'd rather not even make the playoffs than to lose in the finals. I would hurt a lot easier if I just didn't make the playoffs and not even have a shot at it.' -Lebron

    Although then he says the opposite right after, so I guess he really doesn't know.

    Guess this ending is perfect for the Bron haters lol. I'm curious as to when he'll start to slowly exit his prime years, he's definitely got another 2 years or so at least you'd think. But I want to see how he adjusts his game once he loses some of that speed.

    Congrats to the Warriors, loved watching them play. Great shooting as always (throughout the playoffs) which is very pleasing to see.

    LeBron is a champion and he will comeback from this, from what I saw from him this series was that he gave it absolutely everything. But after all, it's a team game and the Warriors showed that depth is crucial.

    I finished 5th. I was in second place the entire bracket till the Cavs lost. Had them in 6 instead of Golden State.

    Yeah the whole time I'm listening to people praise him like a God, but was imagining what Kobe and MJ would have done if they had to take over like he had. I'm guessing there would have been 1 or 2 50 point games, and at least 1 game winning/clinching shot. Good for the Warriors, but I'm sad as s--- that the seasons over. At least the draft is next week.

    Someone needs to make a gif of the run that Delly did yesterday chasing Curry on the 1st or 2nd quarter, that was funny af.

    He sold me his jersey after that play

    Gonna be interesting for sure. Most superstars can play at prime level production until about 33 or so. I can see him just being in the post even more. He also needs to develop some kind of consistent jumper, but he hasn't in 12 years, so who knows if he ever will.

    Being a Bulls fan, it would be easy to root against and hate Lebron because the East usually goes through him, but I love watching him against any other team. It's great to watch great players do great things. He wants to be in the GOAT conversation, and he gave it his all, but at the end of the day it wasn't enough and he lost to the better team.

    LeBron really did do most of it by himself tho... His role players didn't make one shot with him off the floor. When they were scoring, it was mostly on a setup from LeBron.

    He played like s--- late in games but the first 3 quarters that he played which were mostly incredible should and will outshine his poor 4th quarters.

    So apparently my boy Jimmy Buckets is looking for a short term deal so that he can capitalize on the cap jump in a few years. The Bulls better do whatever it takes to make sure this guy never wears another jersey. He was our best player last season, we can't afford to lose him as he enters his prime.

    Good for him. Always nice to see good players do whatever they have to do in order to stay on their team. Although he wants a lot of money he's doing it the right way and for the better of the franchise. Bulls always luck out with these types of guys.

    The only positive that comes out of him signing a shorter deal, is we can see if he is the real deal or if last year was just him trying to get the biggest possible contract. Hopefully he can make the jump to superstar level next season. Good thing Thibs is gone, otherwise he would have ran him into the ground like he did to Deng.

    GS was the best team all year...good for them

    this series would have gone 7 if kyrie & love were playing...Cavs are favorites to win it all next year... not sure how many teams LeBron can continue to carry...
