Yeah, Gunnar, it wasn't his best game.
But, he took the Cavs further than most were predicting when Irving injured-out, with a lot of help from some unexpected badasses.
I think LeBron is probably still the best basketball player in the world, or at least one of them. Steph Curry is right up there too. Steph stalled out for a couple of games at the start of the series and LeBron kinda did the same (by LeBron standards) at the end of the series.
Still, LeBron led the entire Finals in scoring, rebounding and assists - becoming the first player to accomplish that feat. He nearly became the second player to be named Finals MVP from a losing team (Jerry West did it in 1969) as he received four of the 11 media votes for the award despite his team losing the series 4-2.
