    He now has 2 of the best blocks in NBA finals history.

    I'm at work so I'm not gonna post the video, but when he blocked Tiago Splitter at the rim in the 2013 Finals, some people called it the greatest block they'd ever seen.

    How much does Lebron move up your all-time rankings after this series?

    Is it wrong I think he's in my top 3
    1. Jordan
    2. Kareem
    3. Lebron
    4. Bill Russell
    5. Magic

    Nope, him moving and coming back in the fashion that he did makes it a lot better.

    this SERIES as a whole wasn't that good at all. game 7 was great and very intense, particularly down the stretch.

    offensively, lebron didn't play well last night. don't get me wrong, i'm not taking anything away from him because he was great last night, all i'm saying is he didn't have that good of an OFFENSIVE performance last night.

    before the series started, i picked the cavs to win in 6 games. but i'll be honest, after the first few games i thought i had totally got this one wrong. the thing about the warriors is....as good as their shooters are....living by the jump shot obviously isn't easy. and curry and klay aren't exactly great at driving the ball to the basket to help keep the guys who are guarding them honest.

    as good as the warriors were this season............winning back to back championships is never easy..........but to me what this series came down to is that the cavs were able to get a few more easier (closer shots) baskets as opposed to the warriors who missed too many mid and long range jump shots

    Cmon man LeBron had a triple double in a game 7! He played great on the offensive end last night, making all the right passes and cuts. The standard we hold LeBron to has something to do with it, but it was still a great game from him.

    he didn't have a great game as far as efficiency goes and he was looking pass first the entire night, but he still dropped 27 points doing that.

    unless you're holding him to 40 point standards, i don't think it's fair to say anything more than he shot the ball inefficiently yesterday.

    if that's what you mean by "offensive performance", then i agree.

    Yeah LeBron didn't s---t that well, but he made up for it by facilitating, rebounding, and playing elite level defense. That's why he's the best player in the world.

    @Big Mitch

    @Mike Tyson

    iron mike.....that's what i mean.......he was 9 for 24 from the field......and for the majority of the game his shot wasn't falling.

    that's the scary thing about lebron though........for the majority of the game he didn't play well offensively and yet he still got a triple double haha :)

    the reason this wasn't that good of a series IMO is because both games 2 and 3 were blowouts. and although game 1 wasn't a blowout, the warriors still won by a comfortable margin. there just weren't enough competitive games throughout this series for this to be a great or even good series

    it went to 7 games......but if you were to ask me to rate this SERIES out of 10 stars.............i could only give it like 6 stars

    Not a top 5 without Kobe.

    For me Bron is creeping in at 6-7.

    Kobe was 1A to a 3peat though. He was like a 6'6" super Kyrie.

    LeBron is still 3-4 in the Finals vs Kobe's 5-2. He had a absolute mental breakdown against the Mavs, got swept in the Finals, dumped his hometown team on TV to play with his best friend.

    word but lebron, 6 straight finals appearances with 2 different teams. taking a lottery team to the finals in 2 straight years.

    3-4 in the finals sure, but anyone who watched that series can only be mad at him about 2011.

    kobe is an all time great, but i don't know what more lebron has to do to end the debate, he pretty much cemented his legacy last night for me.
