    And after all that they are the 2 best to ever play the game....different ways to get there

      This is not true Steve.

      I hear this all the time and it is simply incorrect.

      He did not make varsity as a Sophomore but was on the team in Junior and Senior years and was very good.

        No but I'm privileged to watch the greatest shooter of all time Stephen Curry play. As well as watching him win his first ring.

          I know he got cut one year at least and that it motivated him early on in his playing days...

            Haha yes Jeffie! Curry was pretty solid tonight, he played a smart game, and got good looks and knocked them down. Never panicked, made to sure to get others involved, team player and true MVP this year.

                Why would he have kept driving when it was so effective?

                  I guess he was tired and it takes less energy taking jump shots

                    MJ, while generally being more liked than Lebron, being a better basketball player, also has one of the most recognizable faces in the world, on par with Bill Clinton...

                      MJ is a serious dickhead.

                      Lebron is ... slightly less of a dickhead?

                        Lebron is a great guy


                        When the game was done he was walking back and high fived a kid in crowd that made him happy


                        He has really matured


                        He doesn't shy away from spotlight anymore

                        I respect him with all the pressure he has had

                              I was privileged to watch bird/ jabbar(in his prime)/magic/ dr j/jordan/both malones. Lebron is a great player but he doesn't do any one thing great besides elbow guys out of the way.

                                some said Lebron really did not play great last night

                                Tons of missed shots and shot under 50%

                                  I can't get over how much older LB is than I thought he was.

                                  I guess Alcindor played for like 20 years.

                                  Much better name than KAJ

                                    i got to watch Gretzky and Jordan so no i don't feel privileged at all watching Lebron or Sidney Crosby.

                                      But everyone who watched Gretzky at the time was complaining that he will never be as good as Esposito was.

                                        never heard one person say that because u were not forced to hear that "Gretzky is the greatest player on the planet fifty fukin times a night. Oh and then he goes out and misses five open nets a game. Lebron is the best player on the planet it just shows u how bad the players have gotten.

                                            One of the great performances in finals history. Would have been remembered forever if he'd made that last shot in regulation. Guy is better than any player of his generation times 2

                                              Taking it to rim for layup/foul or kickoff to open teammate would have been the higher % play in hindsight but if shot fell to win game, the second guessers would be dick riding instead.

                                                I've seen him play twice. One in a summer league and once in an NBA game and I would never pay to see him again.
