Duncan brought a legacy and culture to a team that basically had nothing, Cavs legacy will always be that MJ shot over Ehlo!  ;D

Serious? What about Irving 3? That won Cavs the championship that Cleveland had been after for decades

Nah, that block was the defining moment, level of difficulty was ridiculous.

For me it what the block, as good as the 3 way a chase down block symbolizes soo much more. Add to that it was Lebron who is Cleveland and this is his signature move.

The block basically represents lebron stopping the warriors from completing their record breaking season and Iggy was beaten down and tired just like the warriors.

Irving was cold blooded and he will do that a few more times before his career is over. But the ring was all about Lebron bringing it home to his Cleveland this play is the highlight of his career bigger then his game winners.

The block was a goal tending.  He was touching the ring at the same time.

So they've introduce the "hack-a-shaq" rule... personally I think all players should learn how to flowering shoot a free throw, they get paid enough to do something you'd think is relatively easy for a "pro basketball" player.  Heck, Whiteside changed his style and improved dramatically, why can't the rest of these scrubs!

No one wants to watch someone shoot free throw after free throw, missing more than they make. Was ruining the product.

yep Jay is right at the end of the day its a business and nothing more boring then watching Deandre shot free throws. I think its got to do with the mechanics, shooting free throws is very different to banging in the post, if you worked on getting your free throws up will hurt your post game to a point. Just way too big, way too strong and often way to big hands. I know there are outliers but there is a reason why its bigman who cant shoot free throws.

I get all that, and I know it's for the greater good, just annoying that these highly paid athletes can suck so bad at something so simple.  ::)

I loved Chris Bosh on there the other week. Definitely a future in the media.

Missing free throws is like AFL players missing from dead in front. They looks for all this other bs instead of players who can actually score the basketball
