I know it’s happened and this is probably the least interesting post ever but when I reflect on recent NBA history, it is still shocking to me what happened that year. I never thought it would be remotely possible. It was just a record that could never be touched.
And yet it really happened. I don’t think it gets enough credit because of the “it don’t mean a thing without the ring” piece but as time passes, I gotta say it’s just a standalone incredible achievement.
The fact that the last 30 games of the season they were the target for every team, no one wanted to see them do it, and they still did it. It’s incredibly impressive.
People trying to dismiss the 2015 ring because they were beat by the healthy cavs the next season never made sense. Took a historic performance by Kyrie and Lebron to even take them to 7
exactly. Looked like cavs were going to rollover for most of that early series too. Could have easily been a 4-1 win over healthy cavs
