I’ll leave the GOAT debate to others, but watching LeBron at age 39 be the best athlete on the floor. Hitting the biggest shots (Outside of Curry) was awe inspiring. – 7:14 PM

—Embiid gets valuable experience on this stage
—two really good/fun games to end the run

What a privilege to watch LeBron, Steph, & KD these last couple weeks! Who knows when we’ll see any of these legends play such high stakes games again, much less all 3 of them together.

That was until Curry unloaded and was too special these last two games. The most important two.

While sharing a court with LeBron and KD, Steph Curry taking over in back to back nail biters to deliver a gold is an all-time tombstone type of feather in the cap.
It’s his version of the Kobe 2008 moment.
This 3-day stretch is going to be a legacy talking point forever. – 5:21 PM
