I've liked Lebron since he came back. I hope he wins.

On a side note, I was talking to some old guys the other day about the NBA and star players. Evidently, all new stars go through a time where they don't get the calls. Once they get established enough, they start getting all the benefits of all the doubts. Seemed strange to me, but they believed it.

I have to rescind my earlier assessment of Lebron's demeanor and the Cavs not having it for 2 games in a row. That was all around incredible and I have not one dog in the show.

Weird but exciting series. Usually close games are exciting, but Cleveland coming out swinging (granted taking advantage of key players being out) is fun.

Can't decide who I want to win. Seeing Lebron pull it off would be fun but I also really like watching the Warriors.

MJ wasn't classy and neither is LeBron

Neither was Bird, Chamberlin, or pretty much any NBA player in the 80's because they basically wrestled for baskets. :)

Saw Russell up there in the booth. Read once about how when he blocked a shot it was to try to tip the ball more to regain possession instead of slapping it into the front row for show and giving the ball back. Saw Lebron do that tonight actually, although I don't know if it was on purpose--was nice to see.
