Boston looks drained and in a different place.

Cavs look very in sync and ready to go tonight.

LeBron just sucked the life out of every Celtic player and fans very quickly.

He was toying with them. I'm not sure I've ever seen a more confident LeBron than we've seen in these playoffs.

Perfectly put here:

I feel like we're sooooo close to having "the talk" right now.

But even if you're not ready to say LeBron is better than MJ, that's fine. But a couple of things are now abundantly clear at this point:

1. If you don't think LeBron is #1 or #2 all time

2. If you think there LeBron is nowhere near as good as MJ or that it's just blasphemy to think LeBron is better


You need to really evaluate and get your biases in check.

With how much Shel posts about Lebron I can't blame Billy with this post.

Thanks? This feels like a compliment but also feels like it wasn't meant to be a compliment lol.

I hate to wish bad juju on anyone but half of me hopes Ball is a major flop and the next Ball at UCLA gets exposed for his lack of defense. All because of their dad. And then the other half of me hopes he is good and his dad becomes a major distraction and they become the next Kardashians

I want LaVar Ball to never go away. This is so entertaining.

What if he is the next LeBron? How much will his shoes go for then? $3K?

Don't know who Bubba is.


Also, LaVar went off today. About to head to bed on my phone, but if it was on Colin Cowherd's show if anyone can link it, it was epic.

Damn auto correct on the phone. LeBron

I hope he goes to LA and it's a entertaining fiasco.

If Ball refuses to play for anyone other than LA, why would the Lakers take him at #2?

If he's #1 or #2 on their draft board, why wouldn't they take him?

i think he means why not draft someone else, and take him in the 2nd round?

Weasel goin deep on NBA talk!

Ahhhh, I missed that.


Well, he wouldn't be there by round 2. Someone would take him and try to facilitate a deal to LAL at some point before he falls to round 2.

With Paul George, Gordon Hayward left off All-NBA teams, Pacers and Jazz lose chance to re-sign them to 5-year, $207M super-max contracts.

Wait, the bargaining agreement determines contract stipulations based on a media voting award and the players are ok with this???

I guess they do win out in this scenario though every time right? But totally lose if they are selected?

I am so confused on this rule. How can an award voted on by the media determines how much and for how long a guy can be signed?

This is so weird and first time I have heard of this.

That's basically exactly the rule.

Also, LOL at LeBron and Westbrook each getting one 2nd Team vote.

It's the "Derrick Rose" rule. If a player far exceeds his initial deal there is a bonus to the max to where they can take a higher percentage of teams cap, not sure the number. So the criteria is an MVP award or 2 appearances on the All NBA teams. Details may be slightly off but that's the gist of it
