@@psychology26 stats? Just because a team has a good regular season record doesn’t mean they’re a super team. And for the record, my opinion is BASED off of facts. I don’t make up my opinions with no proof to back it up. If you want to talk stats then we’ll talk stats. Let’s look at The Warriors’ Andre Igoudala and Draymond Green. Draymond Green (2015-16): 14.0 ppg / 9.5 rebs / 7.4 asts on 49% fg and 38.8% on 3-point in 35 MINUTES. While he was decent offensively good defensively, he averaged 3.5 TURNOVERS A GAME. Not to mention Draymond only averaged around 5 made baskets a game. Draymond = 3.5 Stars Andre Igoudala (2015-16): 7.0 ppg / 4 rebs / 3.4 asts on 47% fg and 35%. While Andre was decently efficient, he lacked offensive wise and didn’t bring as good defense as Draymond. (Again he’s only been a 1x all star) Andre = 2 star And now here are GSW’s centers (2015-16) Kevon Looney: 1.8 ppg / 2 rebs / 0 asts (57% fg and 50% 3-point) he only attempted 2 threes Kevon = 1 Star Zaza Pachulia: 8.6 ppg / 9.4 rebs / 1.7 asts (46.6% fg and 0% 3-point) Zaza: 2.5 Stars Festus Ezeli: 7.0 ppg / 5.6 rebs / 0.7 asts (54% fg and 0% 3-point) after 2016 man went to g-league. Festus = 2 Star So now tell me, excluding the actual good players (klay and steph), how is this a superteam? Idc if Steph was unanimous mvp, that’s him, we’re talking about the team, two people do not make up a team of 15 people.
Man this was one of the most (if not the most) stacked finals ever. 3 MVP holders, 7/10 starters were All Stars that season, both benches were littered with former All Stars and solid role players... all on 1 court.
Rewatching these highlights its crazy how KD got so many open dunks just from playing with Steph. JR Smith runs to Steph without the ball at the 3 point line at 3:45 instead of stopping KD with the ball. Insane
@@Christopher._Mit’s not about stopping KD. I would bet the coach told them let KD get his if he’s inside the 3 but make it hard for them but rule #1 don’t leave Steph or Klay open at the 3 at all.

1:10 when iguodala goes in for the dunk he went in strong because he had flashbacks to taking it up soft last year and getting pinned by Lebron for the loss.
@@Cooldude-yj8ns No too soft...No defense....Jordan and Pippin are elite lock down and perimeter defenders....Who is going to guard Jordan when they couldn't even stop Kyrie??? NEXT TIME TALK WHAT YOU KNOW KID
@@boostjunkie2320 They would triple team him, you forgetting the warriors got Iguodala, Klay and Draymond? Who besides Jordan and Pippen can give you 20+ points consistently on the bulls? No one. Great offense always beats great defense, Jordan only wins a game if he drops 70, which aint happening.
@Malik Kai u obviously dont know basketball ur clearly the casual. U should never see so many open dunks n layups in the finals like that. kd is a player u have to double n scheme for same w steph. klay if hes hot. steph n kd never faced one double the whole finals which is absolutely insane for star players. no other players on that level have had it that easy in the finals.

There was never a point in lebrons run or in the history of the league u can say that it was that unfair for 1 team vs the entire rest of the league.
Watching this now. People talk about offense a lot, but honestly defense is what separates these two teams. Look how many wide open shots and dunks Golden State gets
Curry said this was the highest level game he ever played in. This was the first game I watched as a real basketball fan. Watched the series prior and like many people watched this one
It’s honestly crazy how stacked the warriors were. Steph is playing such a different game since he’s not the only main focus. It’s just crazy rewatching this when Steph is on the verge of his third MVP
Tbh, the 2017 cavs were as good as the Warriors offensively. But their defense was absolute trash. They were able to get away with this trash defense in the east because they could just overpower teams offensively

@@X02Overdose I swear people act like it doesn't go both ways. KD can't guard Lebron just how Lebron can't guard KD, Curry and Kyrie can't guard each other, Klay is a spot up shooter so you mostly just have to chase him around, Draymond is a non factor, and Iggy is streaky. There is no way the Cavs defense should've been THAT bad. If you just watch Lebron on defense you'll see where most of the open shots come from.
Jihad Muhammad it’s different cause the Warriors have more athletic bench players and everyone runs in transition. Love is the weak link. It’s just Lebron and kyrie out there
This was peak golden state right here. The amount of talent on that team was so fucking unfair. Curry raining threes, Thompson knocking down looks, the role players all contributing, and Durant with all the spacing in the universe hitting everything, ramming dunks down the lane, and even playing good defense on Lebron. Crazy game, crazy team.
i think lebron generally performed well in this series (33 PTS, 12 TRB, 10 AST on 56.4% TS and 30.6% USG) but one of the main blemishes he had was his inconsistent defense, turnover count and subpar free throw shooting
@@liamsmith2340 trust me I know Jordan will find a way he beat the monstars who had five all stars and he had none lefraud got swept by four and he had two all stars Kevin love and Kyle korver all former all stars
After these Finals LeBron came back and was probably the most complete player he’s ever been in his 20 years bringing size, strength, skill and IQ all together having one of the best, if not, the best season of his career & went RIGHT BACK to the Finals. He also played every game of the season in 2017 🥶
1:30 - 1:51 I swear the defense in this era is the toughest ever. I don't know how MJ would cope with it. Just look how LeBron gets after it with this lockdown defense here...Maaaaan look how they made KD work at 3:08 and 3:46.
That my friend is called gravity. The Cavs are too worried to leave Curry and Thompson open coz it would be like three point layups so they stick man to man. Nobody shoots threes as much or as good (probably because the 3point line is much closer during the 90s and easier to run out) as this era's players do on MJ's time that's why everybody's congesting in the paint before the 3 point arc was moved further.
LeBron's gotta be so happy, The Golden State Warriors were like his "Kryptonite". Injuries finally broke the team up, I wanted someone to beat em heads up, full, healthy rosters. LeBron's gonna be great in LA too.
No one could ever beat GS healthy. Even in 2016 finals they weren’t healthy steph iggy bogut all hurt and Draymond suspended is the only reasons cavs won that year. No one beating GS healthy 2015-2019
Nick Velasquez Nah fool, I'm a Lakers fan since 92. Huge LeBron Fan, even bigger MJ Fan. I can tell you're still salty about LeBron getting swept though.
Alejandro Gomez I’m not a LeBron fan at all. You just hated the Warriors because the Lakers weren’t as good as them and that LeBron lost to them 3 out of those 4 years. It’s not like they’re aren’t plenty of people out there who hated the Lakers when they were good. I’m just more surprised that you’re hating on GS when you clearly have been on the other side of the fence. Appreciate what other teams have accomplished once in a while and quit being jealous. Your Lakers can’t be good every year.

Jihad Muhammad ahah we’ll see bra I guarantee u they make it and u sound dumb asf. Yea man lebron coulda by himself mad his team play better on D lmfao. Then y are the lakers complete lockdown? CUZ THEY ACTUALY HAVE THE PLAYERS FOR IT
Starting Five Warriors K. Durant 35 D. Green 23 Z. Pachulia 27 K. Thompson 11 S. Curry 30 Cavaliers L. James 23 K. Love 0 T. Thompson 13 K. Irving 2 J. Smith 5
Kd has literally altered what could have been a dynasty for Cleveland in LeBron 2nd stint. And you also have harden in his prime in Houston who couldn't just pass the warriors with kd. I believe houston should have make at least an NBA final if the competition was fair btw 17-19
Tevarious Tyner because in 2015 LeBron was by himself, Kevin love and Kyrie Irving were injured lol. Hence why 2016 was won by the Cavs, both teams were healthy. 2017 and 2018 were also kinda unfair

People just now talking about how LeBum has stopped played defense when outside of the 2016 finals, he has not played defense since leaving Miami. It's embarrassing how many plays he got bean on and just didn't try on
I remember this Golden State Roster in NBA2K17 makes me rage quit many times the way they shoot is bullshit there's always someone open its either klay, durant, curry their shot is always green

I guess Kyrie & K Love was on the same level as Curry, Klay, Dray… you know the same 3 dudes who won chips with out KD… but yeah man whatever ya say nowadays… ya make me laugh. 🤣🤣
@@godsoulja1932
Not to mention Iggy, Livingston, McGee, West, etc.. being just as good if not Better than TT, JR, Shump, and RJ..
Is not even comparable.. why even say outlandish stuff..
LMAO Jordan never played no shit like this, You just hate LeBron if you try bring up finals record
And that's on everything.
Richard Aguilar Jordan's The 🐐. LeBron is one of The 🐐🐐.
@@alejandrogomez4804 acceptable but u can't say that mj faced a team like this fam.
Jahleel Sayers Maybe, Magic was towards the end of his career when they lost to the Bulls in The Finals but The Jazz, The Sonics, The Suns, even The Blazers were all hella good teams. Full of Hall of Famers. 😳
Lebron James finals average: 33.6/ Kevin durant: 35.2
Kyrie Irving finals average: 29.4/ Steph Curry 26.5
Kevin Love finals average: 16/ Klay Thompson 16.4
They were evenly matched, they just got outplayed. Not the goat.
Where the hell is the Cavs defense
They have to guard curry Klay AND KD
Booshier And the Warriors had to guard Love, Irving and James Lmao
@@X02Overdose I swear people act like it doesn't go both ways. KD can't guard Lebron just how Lebron can't guard KD, Curry and Kyrie can't guard each other, Klay is a spot up shooter so you mostly just have to chase him around, Draymond is a non factor, and Iggy is streaky. There is no way the Cavs defense should've been THAT bad. If you just watch Lebron on defense you'll see where most of the open shots come from.
They had bad transition defense and gave up too many offensive boards
Jihad Muhammad it’s different cause the Warriors have more athletic bench players and everyone runs in transition. Love is the weak link. It’s just Lebron and kyrie out there
3:50 that dunk from Durant was strong ngl
This was peak golden state right here. The amount of talent on that team was so fucking unfair. Curry raining threes, Thompson knocking down looks, the role players all contributing, and Durant with all the spacing in the universe hitting everything, ramming dunks down the lane, and even playing good defense on Lebron. Crazy game, crazy team.
I had to watch this after the debate of the 96 bulls vs the 17 warriors
i think lebron generally performed well in this series (33 PTS, 12 TRB, 10 AST on 56.4% TS and 30.6% USG) but one of the main blemishes he had was his inconsistent defense, turnover count and subpar free throw shooting
3:28 that’s disrespectful 😂
i came back to watch this after kyrie just explained why he left cleveland/boston and some other stuff on his stream.
this is why IRVING leave CLE
He wanted Cleveland to win so bad he stopped playing for them.
Hello chloe
@Buckeye4life 440 lol😂
He left because he was mad that lebron was the main man
Funny how the minute he left he stopped being successful and Lebron still took Cleveland to another finals appearance 😂😂😂
Steph was insane in this game
MJ and the Bulls wont be beating this fr, MJ still the goat tho
🤣🤣🤣🤣😀🤣
I am a Mj fan and I think you might be right.
@@liamsmith2340 nah he would Jordan would psychologically take them out of the game
@@marvinjones689 no way
@@liamsmith2340 trust me I know Jordan will find a way he beat the monstars who had five all stars and he had none lefraud got swept by four and he had two all stars Kevin love and Kyle korver all former all stars
These warriors would sweep the current warriors
Wtf
@@TrideepNagg any arguments?
Nonsense!
I agree. And guys, look at the date of this comment. At this time they had kd and boogie
The 2017 warriors were hungry and played with a chip on their shoulders. They were also having more fun than the 2018-19 warriors
Best team in history
After these Finals LeBron came back and was probably the most complete player he’s ever been in his 20 years bringing size, strength, skill and IQ all together having one of the best, if not, the best season of his career & went RIGHT BACK to the Finals. He also played every game of the season in 2017 🥶
What a game
You can tell Steph was waiting for this game
1:30 - 1:51 I swear the defense in this era is the toughest ever. I don't know how MJ would cope with it. Just look how LeBron gets after it with this lockdown defense here...Maaaaan look how they made KD work at 3:08 and 3:46.
That my friend is called gravity. The Cavs are too worried to leave Curry and Thompson open coz it would be like three point layups so they stick man to man. Nobody shoots threes as much or as good (probably because the 3point line is much closer during the 90s and easier to run out) as this era's players do on MJ's time that's why everybody's congesting in the paint before the 3 point arc was moved further.
Defense getting worse and worse. That's for damn sure
Or this 3:46 wtf was that
@@emjay1249 bro the first reply on this thread literally answers "wtf is that"
GSW Sliders maxed out!
Curry brought me here😂🔥🔥
The warriors would’ve swept any other team that came out the east
You think so?😂 duh. That team ain’t have no confidence to get back to the finals and run it back a third time. Weak ashit
@@ankletaker2729 chilllll 😂
Nigha it was a gentleman sweep do you know basketball
Notice how KD plays well with other all stars, but when he has to carry he can’t do the job just like he’s doing with the Celtics series
You don't watch enough ball
I'm here to see the team with the highest Elo in history.
You somehow forget David West was also on this team.
what a game!
Why Would KD leave this??? Crazy
He’s too soft lol worried about what others think but I think him and Steph will play together again
@@Blackhole401 he’s definitely soft and stupid Lol.
👀
How draymond ran back at 6:30 lmaoooo 🤣🤣🤣
Gentlemen sweep they said
2:13 right after this I thought this would be an all-time finals once again... I was very disappointed
That cavs team was damn good but they got absolutely annihilated KD,Curry and klay that’s too much heat
Everyone forgets how good the 2017 Cavs were. Goes to show how dominant the 2017 warriors were.
LeBron's gotta be so happy, The Golden State Warriors were like his "Kryptonite". Injuries finally broke the team up, I wanted someone to beat em heads up, full, healthy rosters. LeBron's gonna be great in LA too.
No one could ever beat GS healthy. Even in 2016 finals they weren’t healthy steph iggy bogut all hurt and Draymond suspended is the only reasons cavs won that year. No one beating GS healthy 2015-2019
Alejandro Gomez I can you tell you are still salty about the Warriors trouncing LeBron in the Finals all those times lol
Nick Velasquez Nah fool, I'm a Lakers fan since 92. Huge LeBron Fan, even bigger MJ Fan. I can tell you're still salty about LeBron getting swept though.
Alejandro Gomez I’m not a LeBron fan at all. You just hated the Warriors because the Lakers weren’t as good as them and that LeBron lost to them 3 out of those 4 years. It’s not like they’re aren’t plenty of people out there who hated the Lakers when they were good. I’m just more surprised that you’re hating on GS when you clearly have been on the other side of the fence. Appreciate what other teams have accomplished once in a while and quit being jealous. Your Lakers can’t be good every year.
Nick Velasquez What the fuck you talkin about? I'm from Cali and support all the California Teams. Keep that negativity to yourself. Reading My comment then trying to be cute with shit. 😡
look at durants first shot attempt he isnt doing that on any other team lmfaooo he knew it was already over fool just shooting anything homie stacked the deck w 0 pressure
Lmao right !!
Lebron been stacking it since 2010 so fuck it..it was pretty even for me
Francisco Orozco Yea 2 mvps and 5 total HOF vs the rest of the league w a max of 2 HOF. Def even bra
Jihad Muhammad have u seen the lakers on defense? That’s a real defensive team the cavs roster wasn’t a defensive oriented team. And I guarantee u w my life iggy and dray make the hof and klay is a complete lock. Ur downplaying ur team to make it seem more fair ahaha I’m weak
Jihad Muhammad ahah we’ll see bra I guarantee u they make it and u sound dumb asf. Yea man lebron coulda by himself mad his team play better on D lmfao. Then y are the lakers complete lockdown? CUZ THEY ACTUALY HAVE THE PLAYERS FOR IT
Any other team than this super team and they probably get swept by these Cavs.
I’m watching these finals looking at Kyrie playing with the greatest player in the right right now. @1:41 😱 and @ 4:45 that’s just not fair
3-1 is the nba finals record between gs and Cleveland such sweet revenge
Yeah but in 2016 okc blew a 3-1 to the Warriors then the warriors blew a 3-1 to the cavs in the finals😂😂
Empty championships no one values
not really man no one looks at it that way lol
You know it. Everybody knows it neither of those chips combined would mean as much as the 2016
Jeremy Sivertsen speak for yourself. You’re just mad because your team wasn’t as good as the Warriors
To think only 5 people are still on the Warriors
KD move at 6:00 .. That is Unstoppable
Starting Five
Warriors
K. Durant 35
D. Green 23
Z. Pachulia 27
K. Thompson 11
S. Curry 30
Cavaliers
L. James 23
K. Love 0
T. Thompson 13
K. Irving 2
J. Smith 5
Thank God the Cavs won in 2016 we would’ve been the Buffalo bills of the NBA…🎉
Durant wouldnt have gone to the Warriors if they won in 2016 so Cavs probably win it in 2017
Kd has literally altered what could have been a dynasty for Cleveland in LeBron 2nd stint. And you also have harden in his prime in Houston who couldn't just pass the warriors with kd. I believe houston should have make at least an NBA final if the competition was fair btw 17-19
They literally owned the cavs here.
They owned them in 2015 too how quickly can y'all forget sir they owned them 3 times in 3 different seasons and finals 🤔🤐✌🏿
Tevarious Tyner because in 2015 LeBron was by himself, Kevin love and Kyrie Irving were injured lol. Hence why 2016 was won by the Cavs, both teams were healthy. 2017 and 2018 were also kinda unfair
@@steezycarson6037 he wasn't by himself klay and draymond wasn't all stars til the 2016 season so it really doesn't matter lebron went to a team where it was two all stars there already soooooo yeah
this shit bad me sick to my stomach as a kyrie/cavs fan 😭 straight up beat down
Watching this back is like watching Bron get jumped by the warriors smh
They didn’t jump him, shit was fair and even. Every starter on booth teams cancelled each other out and avg the same
Stats
This Cavs team is way better than people thought But wtf is this shit Warriors we’re playing on Rookie mode with this stacked ass first 5 with the length and size of the Bench with Shaun and Iggy man what the hell this team was so unfair than I remember
Edit: Bro this years finals both teams were struggling to shoot but hearing the Goddamn Cleveland Cavaliers having 8 players shooting 40% from three and still get beat down by this overpowered team goes to show how unfair this was
When Lebron fell I knew This shit was over lol
People just now talking about how LeBum has stopped played defense when outside of the 2016 finals, he has not played defense since leaving Miami. It's embarrassing how many plays he got bean on and just didn't try on
So we not go act like kd wasnt violating bron dis game just watch the match when there on each other
the best team parin solid era of gsw
This game K.D owned LeBron 💯🔥👌
I remember this Golden State Roster in NBA2K17 makes me rage quit many times the way they shoot is bullshit there's always someone open its either klay, durant, curry their shot is always green
I miss Oracle stadium 🏟 ... 😌
Honestly, playing with KD is really just not fair when he on offense
Ain’t no way in hell my and the guys beating these boys🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ass would of got whipped
