As an old northeast Ohio boy (albeit one who has now lived a lot longer in southwest Virginia), with family in Cleveland, I've got to celebrate a little with the Cavaliers, first team ever to come back from 1-3 and win an NBA final, with 2 wins on the opponents floor. An opponent which had just set an NBA record for victory's in a season.

Lebron came back from "The Decision" fiasco and a detour to Miami, pouring a lot of money into rebuilding his high school alma mater, Akron St. Mary's/St. Vincent, and a lot of blood, sweat and tears into rebuilding the Cavs and willing them to victory. He did not need to do this. Not many rich athletes would. Anybody seeing the tears at the end knows this one was real.

Kudos also to Dan Gilbert's ownership group for taking the luxury tax hit and spending what was necessary to build a winner. Cleveland needs all the winners it can get.

I'm sorry I don't care as a Celtics, Warriors, and Pacers fan.

SCRIPTED. Not even joking. The NBA is the joke.

The NBA is absolutely a joke, and I never watch games that do not involve Lebron James. But Lebron James is my favorite player since Larry Bird. Watching him, I feel much the same way that I did watching Peyton Manning- soak it in because we will never see another player like him. Not saying that Lebron is the best player ever, but the combination of his body type, skill set, and playing style is something that I doubt we will see again.

One of the best Finals games in a recent memory.

And take off your tinfoil hat, 1244. Sheesh.

Is it scripted? No. Is the officiating horrendous in the NBA? Yes. Do I want to see the rubber match next year with both teams 100% healthy? Absolutely.
