James said Golden State Warriors are NBA’s ‘best team

LeBron James called the Golden State Warriors the “best” team in the NBA not once, but twice Friday night.

And while it’s true the Warriors own the NBA’s best record over the past 21/2 seasons, it was the Cavs who beat them when it mattered most, in June.

Kyrie’s Christmas winner not only Game 7 similarity Kyrie’s Christmas winner not only Game 7 similarity Kyrie Irving’s Christmas winner wasn’t the only similarity to Game 7 of the Finals between the Cavs and Warriors.

But when it comes to the best team, it’s the Cavs who’ve won the last four games in this series, starting with Game 5 of the Finals.

James scored 31 on Christmas to Kevin Durant’s 36, who experienced the Cavs-Warriors rivalry for the first time.

At one time, the Warriors had defeated Cleveland seven times in a row, ranging from the 2015 Finals, to both games last season, through games 1 and 2 of the 2016 Finals.

Then, following the Christmas Day game, ESPN reported that guests at James’ party had to step over a Curry doll.

Thompson, of course, is the one who, before Game 5, told James on the podium that the NBA was a “man’s league.”
