Believeland!
I assume people might want to talk about this. Congrats to Cleveland fans — you’ve earned it.
Let me ask a question as a distinct non-expert in the NBA. LeBron James is obviously the best player in the NBA, right? Curry’s MVP awards were like when they would give the MVP award to various people so Mantle and Mays wouldn’t win every year? The Cavs beat the Warriors in a 7 game series that was dead even even though Curry’s supporting cast is vastly better? Again, I may be wrong — you probably know more than I do — but it certainly looks like that to me.
…poking around, it may be true that James at his best is better than Curry as his best, but game-in-game-out the analytic stats do seem to suggest that Curry’s MVPs (unlike, say, Steve Nash’s) were justified, so I retract that charge.
…shorter Skip Bayless: “if only the Cavs could replace LeBron with Tim Tebow, they could be a championship team.” He is going to join the cast of Speak For Yourself All Takes Matter imminently, right?
