Some of you may know me and some may not. But I usually only post in the college football forum. But from time to time I will post in other forums. Why am I posting in the NBA forum tonight? Here's why.....
Tonight IMO we will watch the most important game in Cleveland professional sports history. I truly believe this. For so long the that city has felt like they were under a curse somewhat. Tonight....I know it's not the game that determines the winner of the NBA title, but really history tells us other wise. The winner of game 5 of the Finals win the series at a rate of 80 to 85% I believe without looking up the numbers.
Lebron James rubbed people wrong years ago with the " decision ". I understand why, it was a selfish act, I also feel he wasn't all to blame for that as the ESPN played a huge role in manipulating that nonsense. But with that said, I think Lebron is good guy. So many times we look for the bad in people but really we just need to step back and ask the question, How would I have done it? James may have had a hard time leaving Cleveland...... but the greatest thing we as Americans experience among each other at times is forgiveness. And with that I can guarantee you the city of Cleveland forgave him. They put their pride aside......
Tonight I think we will see a super-human effort like we haven't seen in quiet some time. Lebron James IMO, will be something I use from time to time to define the great players in sports.... A Leader of Men. Lebron will lay it all down tonight to have that chance of clinching the Finals in the city he loves so dearly, Cleveland. It's about him....It's about them.
Forget the +9.5 tonight, you won't need it.
