The Cavs are back! Can they keep up the momentum in Boston?
I have a hard time believing Lebron cant win 1 at Boston. I remember 2 years back when we beat Golden State in Golden State for the championship. I told everyone at the Party that its the 7th Game and "WE HAVE THE BEST DAMN PLAYER IN THE PLANET ON OUR TEAM" I will take that every time.

LeBron is the GOAT and it's not even that debatable anymore.
If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

Agree!!
"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."
Now he's got to take this group up against the Warriors. It's all on his shoulders again. Has to be exhausting. Who is going to defend against Durant? Curry? Klay?

The more I think about it the more I really want to hear LeBron say, "I've decided that I'm going to be taking my talents to Salt Lake City." I just love the idea of him going to a small market for purely basketball reasons - because with Donovan Mitchell's revelatory offensive game, Gobert's transcendence as a defensive stopper and rim protector, and Rubio's ability to spell or support James as a secondary distributor, it just makes it the perfect basketball situation for LeBron to step into. I know it will probably never happen because...Salt Lake City...but what should that even matter in the NBA age of League Pass, TNT, NBA-TV, ESPN?
I used to make an annual visit to Salt Lake City BITD, and it was.... interesting.
Obviously it is a mostly white and extensively Mormon population. There is/was a mall near the team hotel, and depending on the road trip details, the players might have time to relax at that mall.
the locals would naively point in amazement at these tall black people on the escalators, for instance.
the players were well aware that these were not dangerous people, and were pretty gracious in realizing that their height was as startling as their color (which didn't make them afraid, just curious).
SLC has come a long way since then, and while NBA players always considered it boring, it posed no threat.
they have always had a solid fan base, and would embrace LeBron as much as any market in the NBA. I don't know the nuances of how he might fit with the team there, but that market is no reason alone for him not to go there.

Well, if he's gonna go to a small market, hopefully he'll want to team up with the future GOAT...Giannis.

I just don't see that as a good basketball fit. Both Giannis and LeBron are ball-dominant point forwards whose best offense involves driving to the rim and either scoring or dishing to a cutter or spot up perimeter shooter. For similar reasons, I don't necessarily like LeBron in Philly sharing the court with Simmons. I think Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert are much better complements to what LeBron does best on a basketball court.

Okay, okay, homers, lol. I can play that game, too. LeBron, come play for the Nets! Dinwiddie! Russell! Hollis-Jefferson! LeVert! Best part is, it will absolutely kill the Knicks' fans.

How many more first rounders do they owe the celtics?
