Would LeBron James and Cleveland be the worst team to win an NBA title?
- Share via
LeBron James is doing the seeming impossible: He is leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to an NBA title. Cleveland, without starters Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, have a 2-1 series lead over Golden State in the NBA Finals.
James scored 40 points in Tuesday's 96-91 win over the Warriors and is averaging 41 points per game in the finals. The Cavaliers are averaging 97 points per game, so James is scoring 42.3% of the Cavaliers' points.
Take look at the rest of the starting lineup: Timofey Mozgov, Tristan Thompson, Iman Shumpert, Matthew Dellavedova. Not exactly Byron Scott, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James Worthy and Kurt Rambis, is it?
