So excited for the Cleveland Cavaliers. I was listening to my favorite show, Doug&Wolf, on AZ Sports 98.7 FM, on my way in to work this morning and they mentioned a parade going on in Cleveland today. I can only imagine how amazing it is.
This victory was exciting to watch! Both teams put on a great show and it was quite a Game 7.
That being said, here are just a couple of things that I want to rant about regarding this season:
1) Lebron haters - Lebron has taken so much heat (pun intended) over his career decisions. This has bothered me from many standpoints that I won't go into now but it would be nice if everyone just put to bed, their consistent negative views about Lebron, as a leader, and as a Great.
The negative commentary about all the finals he had been to and only won the two in Miami, had gotten old as well. Championships are awesome but look at how many Hall of Famers have played the game and never won 1 ring. Does that diminish their greatness? A friend of mine summed it up best when he posted to Facebook after the game and said something like, "Now, can all of the Lebron haters please SHUT UP." LOL
We also have to give a major shout-out to Kyrie Irving!! Without his performance and without that clutch 3, it could have easily gone the other way.
2) Steph Curry - Before losing this finals, most people had a "Steph Curry for President" type attitude about him. Steph Curry is remarkable and someone that I enjoy watching. The 73-9 season has been incredible. Now, that the team lost, some fans are speaking negatively about him and have seemed to flip on their opinion.
I also do not like the talk about their season record being diminished by not winning the finals. I am not sure why it is seen that way. I am assuming because the Bulls won the championship the year they went 72-10. In any loss there is plenty of blame to go around. However, their greatness is not diminished. It is just time to regroup and get right back in the game.
3) Fixed Games - This topic is never ending when it comes to any sport. When games don't go a certain way it is said the the refs are paid off and games are fixed to make more money. While I have no idea if that even has a little truth to it, all I will say about it is no one complains when the "fixing" is in favor of their favorite team. This is one of those situations when we can only "control the controllables." The alleged paying off of refs does not factor when a team is shooting poorly.
