It’s crazy that LeBron is responsible for ending the Warriors 73 win season in disappointment and also is now the first player to beat them in the playoffs with Kerr as the coach prior the finals
conversely the Warriors are the reason Bron only has 4 rings …they completely interrupted his era of would be dominance with their own greatness and can claim responsible on beating him in the finals 3 times
just an incredible rivalry with so many great moments and incredible talent… I hope they do a long docuseries on these two powerhouses at some point in the future
I know this ain't popular on this board, but the Warriors and LeBron's rivalry ain't a real rivalry to me. When shyt was fair, LeBron beat them.
Nobody considers the Durant years fair outside of Warriors fans and Durant stans. That was bulljive and we all knew it.
Second best player in the NBA joins a 73 win team that just beat him? Come on now. Look at the Warriors' salary issues right now-- you can't tell me that wasn't bs of the highest order.
When shyt was square, LeBron bodies these boys. You could have easily made the case Bron was Finals MVP in 2015, because he outplayed everyone on the floor, even though he was inefficient that series.
Bron beat them in 2016 in definitive fashion. Sent play-in Steph home with a three in his eye. Put him out the playoffs this year.
I don't consider this a real rivalry until the Warriors beat a healthy Bron team without stacking the deck like Yu-Gi-Oh
