The Cleveland Cavaliers are playing without their 2 best players not named Lebron James. Both Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love are out for the rest of the playoffs with injuries. Yet their team is tied 1-1 with the Golden State Warriors in the best of 7 NBA Championship against the Warriors.
On paper this doesn't even look like a fair series.The Warriors have a better starting 5 and a deeper bench. So why are the Cavaliers giving them fits?
The answer is James. He's put his team on his back, carrying them to what could be his third title. Michael Jordan retired with 6 rings. He's widely considered to be best NBA player in history. It's hard to argue that MJ isn't the greatest of all time, but his teams were much better than the one James is playing on now.
"If LeBron is at his best, it makes it difficult to guard other people," TNT analyst Kenny Smith said after the Cavaliers game 2 win over the Warriors on Sunday. "That is the greatest thing about him....
I have not seen any other MVP do more with less."
The question is simple. If the Cavaliers beat the Warriors, will James surpass Jordan as the greatest of all time?
