Great win by Lebron and the Cavs. Won it on the Warriors home floor. 1st ever team to come back from a 3-1 deficit to win the NBA title, and against a team who had the best ever regular season record!

Brings a sports title back to Cleveland which hadn't happened since '64!

Great to watch and that block on Igoudala was one of the best plays I've ever seen!

Well done Cavs, I'm happy for them. Never saw them winning this before the series started, and definitely couldn't see them coming from 3-1 down. Epic comeback. James mvp, absolute beast in the last 3 games especially.

Not happy. I will never like the Cavs after the LeBron jersey burning and other nasties when he left and then acting like nothing happened when he came back. Fickle fans.

Seems to be a running theme in all sports that the shittest fans seem to be getting the most success.

What a great series, and out of nowhere too. LeBron's last three games were incredible, but you could tell by Game 7 that he was mentally and physically exhausted. It seemed like he was running on fumes and was out of ideas every time he had the ball in a half court offense, but he was determined enough to still do amazing things on defense and transition like his block on Igoudala. Kyrie's late three was massive as well; the Cavs were pretty lucky that the Warriors went on a scoring drought to end that game, because I think they slightly mismanaged the end themselves by not running more in transition or giving the ball to the guy with the hot hand (Kyrie). But regardless, LeBron is incredible, and the Cavs earned it. And even better, the Warriors choked.

I guess God no longer hates Cleveland. Happy for them.

To be fair, you can't talk about how bad Cleveland fans can be (and I'm inclined to pity them more than anything when it comes down to things like that 2010 meltdown) without mentioning how depressing it would be to see a bunch of Silicon Valley sociopaths gloating about their budding dynasty while convincing themselves that they've "disrupted the basketball industry" as well.

One of the funniest tweets I saw was about the Warriors fans rioting...something in regards to angrily clicking and dragging files into Recycle Bins.

"Lebron led all players on both teams in points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks for the entire series."

That's a crazy stat, and the first time it's ever been done.

And Warriors lost 18 games all season:

9 in the regular season
9 in the playoffs

Magic could play every position (often in the same game), but that's ridiculously good.

As a Sun's fan I'm very happy with the draft.

The money in the NBA right now is so fucking absurd. Disgustingly high contracts being handed out this free agency.

My Knicks would be a great team with this starting 5 if the year was like 2010. Noah and Rose are always hurt.

Durant might go to the Celtics, which would suck but also be hilarious if the lil b curse on him expands through Boston.

Mike Conley with the richest contract in NBA history is disgusting.

Good for the players I'd rather the money went to them than the owners lining their pockets.

I feel so filthy liking the fact that Durant went to Golden State. Goes completely against my desire for teams to have rivalries and stars spread out, but I can't help but like most of the guys on Golden State.

Hate Green. Like Curry and Thompson. Like Durant too but wish he just stayed at OKC.

Ditto. Can't stand Lebron.

But i really don't like the idea of the Warriors getting even more loaded. Really am not a fan of piling top players onto one squad and letting them run rampant on the league either.

So i am torn....but leaning towards disliking the Warriors with KD more than Lebron, but just by a hair.
