    AI was the pure scorer to ever touch a basketball, not sure I'd have Durant in my top 5, and I'd take Westbrook over Durant any day because Westbrook is a killer and Durant isn't, he's actually almost non-competitive, it's sickening.

    Anyone who thinks Delly is some lockdown defender doesn't know basketball.

    Cavs are doubling Curry on all ball screens in the channel (aka within the ends of the key extended down the middle of the court). It's making it a lot harder for Curry to find shots, which means he's forcing some up which is not good for his FG% but has nothing to do with Delly necessarily. They're also face guarding him in full denial when he's off the ball, which is smart because it forces him to catch the ball out of a scoring area and initiate offense from further than the warriors are used to, providing the cavs better angles to defend. In layman's terms, they're making it really hard for Curry to get open by begging someone else to beat them, and Curry's been bad at finding ways to put his teammates in position to do that.

    It's actually Delly's lack of defensive ability that is forcing the cavs to double and make Curry give it up to Green or Lee 30 ft from the basket, where they've been awful so far at finding ways to score.

    I was just coupling you with all the other Cavs fans who think he's better than Jordan or even Kobe.

    I dont know many Cavs fans that say LBJ is better than Jordan, and I have a lot of friends that are Cavs fans.

    once again, its the haters who love to bring up the Jordan argument.

    "well....well... he isn't better than Jordan"

    Okay...?


    Kobe is a different story. When both careers are over, LBJ will have better numbers and dare I say more rings?

    AI pure scorer? Ehhhh... disagreed. Plus, his offensive game was very limited. Mostly due to his size.

    Westbrook is a killer though. Kills any chance OKC has of winning.

    The fact that there's so much talk/discussion about whether or not he's better than Jordan only speaks to what a great player he is.

    Like I said before, I'd take Jordan over him 10 times out of 10. But Lebron is certainly one of the greats of the current era (arguably the greatest).

    Or it speaks volumes as to how dumb the ESPN viewers are.

    The same people that were certain that Johnny Manziel and Tebow were going to be amazing.

    Hype > Substance in today's world.
