    The story of this game was not JR Smith. It was not the Warriors winning. It was LeBron James turning in possibly the greatest single-game, individual performance in NBA history. This was 51 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists against Durant, Curry, Green, Thompson, etc. This was on the road in a place where almost no one has won in the postseason over the past four years. This was on the heels of 46-11-9 in Game 6 and 35-15-9 on 48 minutes in Game 7 of the ECF. This was so insanely unprecedented and unforgettable. I hope it's not wasted on history, because it was rare, rare brilliance.

      @@SmittySmith-ev8fo Cavs were clearly shaken. The Cavs as a team lost in OT flat out LeBron was disheartened even after trying to call a timeout on that rebound. I could go back and say LeBron should of could of etc what happened is that even with the superteam of the Warriors, he played sensational. Keep in mind no one else has done this ever in the NBA, and esp with the culmination of JR and the previous over turned call to blocking foul. I've been watching for 20 years not too young. Vince Carter was my fav growing up

      R3aL J Capslock already summed that up. And if the refs didn't reverse the call, George Hill probably wouldn't have to shoot the free throws because the Warriors would be forced to foul at that point, as they are down. Remember that call gave Golden State 2 free points, so Cleveland would have been up by 1.

      TL;DR - LeBron can get a trash team to the Finals (he did it in 2007 lol), but MJ can make a good team almost _unstoppable_ (see also: 1995-96 Bulls). Raising the floor vs raising the roof.
