As a Lebron hater, these finals have really made me change my view on him. I always knew how great he is but seeing him tonight with his hands on his hips, breathing heavily, it really hit me. The man is aging and still putting up crazy numbers while having to defend the best offensive player in this league. People are saying how KD is outshining Lebron these Finals but it helps when you play with a unanimous MVP, one of the greatest shooters of all time and a versatile playmaking forward. Makes your job a lot easier. Switch Lebron with KD and Lebron would put up better stats than KD with GS and KD would not put up better stats than Lebron with Cleveland.

I have always been one of those fans who hate Lebron whenever he says he needs more help blah blah blah. But seeing this team against GS, I can see why. Its all relative, to other East teams, CLE is a super team but when compared to GS they're not. KD moving to GS really changed the landscape of the league. Assuming the Warriors finish off the series comfortably, the only way we will see a competitive Finals is if Cleveland adds better players. This will further the gap between them and other East teams but its the only way they can compete against GS. As a neutral it sucks because this would mean the regular season and playoffs would be even more lopsided but we might get a more competitive Finals.
