Yeah... the wrong opinion.

I love it. I actually kind of feel bad for Durant, but he'll get his ring(s) someday. Fucking ecstatic to see Lebron get his.

Some of us can still strongly dislike his decisions and still say he's the best basketball player in the world.
I don't think anybody dispute Lebron as the best player in the NBA. Most just think he could have done better with the talent he has up till today and therefore others were more deserving of MVP awards.
Everybody has been screaming for him to post up more since his Cleveland days. And when he finally did it this year, he won the title.

If I was talking about how the Heat won, your statement would make sense. But since I was referring to how much better James played than Durant, your statement doesn't really apply.
The referees do a very good job. I know what it's like to referee, and while people love to point the finger at the two or three mistakes which happen, they ignore the fact referees get almost all calls correct. It's only with the benefit of replay that fans can even disagree with the referees.
Because Fisher didn't maintain his vertical plane. He leaned into LeBron, initiating the contact. To be a charge, you have to maintain your defensive position, and you're entitled to the vertical plane all the way up to the ceiling. If you alter that plane, however, it cannot be a charge.
LeBron was going to go around Fisher, and Fisher leaned into him.
I'm not sure who the "people" are that you're referring to, but I assure you that I do not need you to educate me on the rules of the sport. I've played, refereed and coached basketball for years. My father coached, my grandfather coached and my stepfather is active as a referee. I've been to numerous rules meetings and have read basketball rule books.
Derek Fisher fouled LeBron.
Like I said, I think it's because Fisher extended the arms which turned it into a flagrant. I'm not sure it should have been, but I'd guess that's why it was.
I understand that, my dad is one of those guys. There's no denying though that there are plenty of LBJ detractors that don't respect his greatness, like Skip Bayless.
I'm still very happy that LeBron James and the Heat are the NBA Champeens.
There were many people who thought Durant was.

Dear Dan Gilbert:
Screw you and your petty bitching. Lebron got a ring, you will never sniff the playoffs.

JGlass, I am your father.
Those people must have just looked at his scoring then. He's not nearly the defender or distributor that Lebron is.
I didn't...I'd much rather have LeBron James than Kobe.

Those people are crazy, LBJ has been the best player in the league since he took the mantle off of Kobe a couple years ago.
I think it was more a case of them looking at anything which would keep them from having to recognize now great LeBron is.
We have a lot of ground to make up then. Let's start with, "the talk." You know, the one where you tell me why it's a bad idea to invest in a Mutual Fund in this market and why my money would be safer in a 401k.

Don't get sassy with me boy, you damn well better be maxing out your Roth IRA.

I certainly do not believe that Lebron was going to go around Fisher based on anything I see in that replay.
He was doing a juke, to attack Fisher's left shoulder to go around and make a layup. Fisher leaned into James to initiate the contact.
It was definitely a foul on Fisher. Definitely not a charge.

I have to laugh at Lebron being called an MVP by anyone when he jumped ship from this area to join a team of stars. (FYI, I didn't like him when he was in high school; Has nothing to do w/the Cavs.)
Also, let's not pretend (I see many analysts & fans alike aren't on Twitter) that there were guys on the court for every game, having major impact, that never took a shot or passed the ball..

Your uncle, Ira Rothsteinberg. He's got that nice place down in Boca with the paddleboats that you liked so much as a kid.
Oh, and congrats to one-quarter of the Mens US Olympic Basketball Team for their NBA Championship.
If it wasn't already official, LeBron is currently the best player in basketball and now not a single argument can be made otherwise. Kevin Durant is the clear number two and he has nothing to be ashamed of because he is the only Thunder player who played well in every single game this series. He and the Thunder likely have multiple titles in their future and I can almost guarantee this isn't the last time we have seen a OKC/Miami NBA Finals.
