Ur so proud that lebron barely squeaked by again just like when ray allen bailed him out a few years ago? Ur proud that lebron baited draymond into retaliating to force him to get another tech/flagrant and of course get suspended?...and no one talks about KYRIE winning the game 7. You close-minded simpletons are blinded by lebrons highlights as usual when his only TRUE finals win was against OKC when OKC shouldn't even had made it that year. "Lebrons" other 2 finals wins we're supreme bail outs by his legendary teammates who dug him out of the hole he created for some many finals series. Lebron is overrated because he loses more than anyone else WE all compare him too. But his average numbers and highlights keep him relevant. If the warriors weren't plagued with young, panic-like habits then lebrons tears at the end of game 7 wouldn't have been from joy. Haha he was crying cus he knows he shouldn't have won and the media would have kicked his ass if kyrie didnt bail him out. Lebron=hoe
+Cyrus Scales man you are soooooo salty. Ray Allen bailed him out? No he didn't lmao he just hit a three after missing so many shots and they were only in the position to win cause of LeBron. Kyrie bailing him out? Yeah no he didn't. Kyrie missed 4 straight shots and threw an airball that led to the Warriors fastbreak and LeBron was the one who stopped that and saved kyrie cause the shot that led to that by kyrie was worse than what curry was throwing up. I've never seen someone so blinded by their hate for another player. You're either a little kid who just started watching or legitimately the biggest dickhead I've come across. Can't belive we're in a generation of NBA where if another player on the team gets a shot it's apparently bailing him out. You don't score 41 in back to back games then a triple double in game 7 and then get "bailed out" kyrie stepped up when the team needed him the most and was amazing, doesn't mean he bailed LeBron out lmao. You are actually so stupid
+JZkicksA nah MJ wasn't as versatile, and could never have led the finals in every category, pts,asts,Rebs,Stls,blocks. Jordan was the best scorer ever tho.
"He (Curry) was no match for a player that much bigger than him" "Warriors could not stop him from imposing his will on the game" "It would take something historical and truly epic to lead them to the promised land, and that's exactly what Lebron James did. " " No one has averaged numbers like this in a finals series" All you haters have selective hearing. I'm sick and tired of seeing you guys just looking for any chance to cry about how biased coach nick is. He presents great analysis of this beautiful game. In this video, the only negative he showed was that the cavs team offense was terrible. But Lebron is so amazing he can just take over a game with isos and PnR's. He sees the holes in the top 10 warrior defense and attacks them immediately. Lebron is one of the greats and future hall of famer. And coach nick praised him so much in this video. Why do you guys ignore all that? So either quit whining or don't watch his videos.
+Jared Davis thanks, Jared. I'd have to say that every video that has LeBron in it has a lot of praise, which might be balanced with criticism, and that's hard for his fans to understand
And people say the Cavs only won because of Kyrie. Stop being a salty LeBron hater. Kyrie was a big help but LeBron was definitely the most important piece.
Once more Lebron showed the amazing player he is, both mentally and physically. Remember that last year he won two games almost alone. This year he was able to come back from a 3-1. Anyone wants to blame him anymore?
Sir, your schemata breakdown was painstakingly detailed, exhaustive and selflessly comprehensive. Thank you for sparing little, if any details for us serious fans.
Don't get me wrong, I am a huge LeBron fan but I hate how the media is acting like he did it all by himself. They don't come back down from 3-1 and win this series without Kyrie thoroughly outplaying Curry. Just like LeBron, he struggled the first 2 games but was an absolute stud the remaining 5 games, putting up 31ppg on 51% shooting and 47% from 3. Coach, you should do a video on Kyrie.
ya... i never understand why Coach Nick hates Westbrook that much... it's not like Westbrook is the most ballhogging player around. Iversion, Bryant, and now Harden are all way worse a hogger than westbrook, but we'VE NEVER SEEN Nick put up a hate video on those three. (dont tell me Kobe isnt worse than westbrook in his last 5years .)
Lebron = GOAT !!! 1. Came back from an impossible 3-1 2. Defeated a team with the first ever unanimous MVP 3. Defeated a first ever 73 win team 4. Defeated a team with the Coach Of The Year 5. Got 2 critical wins on the road 6. FIRST TO LEAD BOTH TEAMS IN POINTS, REBOUNDS ,ASSISTS, STEALS , BLOCKS !!!!!
Was gonna joke about the Curry video not being out yet, but that's a comment for another day. Great video Coach Nick, with excellent objective analysis. Now all past crimes and bandwagonery will be forgiven when we see the Curry video
+BBALLBREAKDOWN if you make a curry video while giving him a pass and not expose him to the full extent of the word, most of your subs won't be satisfied. So I suggest you go all out on him!
Isn´t that allways the case in the finals? When your favourite team gets kicked out of the Playoffs you choose the Team you see most likely to win it all, or the team with the playstyle you prefer.
Can we just appreciate Coach NIck's analysis? I understand we all have opinions and our own favourite teams, but in comparison to other channels that do similar comparisons, both statistical and video, BBALLBREAKDOWN is one of (if not) the best. On behalf of your subs, I say thank you and keep up the great work. This channel is and will be my first reference to any recent NBA games and player breakdowns.
yeah man. its so funny, now its more popular and "cool" to hate on the warriors and call all their fans bandwagons. lol what condescending word that makes one feel less insecure because he was "loyal" to the cavs all his life
Looks like Steve Kerr got outcoached by Both Lue and LeBron James. Those last 3 games of the series just show you how great of a player LeBron is and how high his BBall IQ is.
+fred coleman ya bogut injury was big but at the same time warriors had the best bench in the league they shudve been able to overcome that injury also. They were fine last 2 years whenever bogut sat out with injury
but at the sametime he wasn't injured during last yr playoff run and the 2012-13 playoffs he was injured when they lost in 7 games vs the Clippers which made them want to fire Mark Jackson.
It did tho. It was a major focus for the Cavs to force switches so that Curry had to defend Lebron or Kyrie, due to his weak on ball defense. Don't know what game you were watching.
I don't think Steph's a good defender. The GSW defensive scheme allows for him to anticipate passes. More often times than not, it isn't Steph guarding the team's best player if that player is the point guard.
Tristan is a underrated beast, hes the big reason Curry wasn't that great and 1 dimensional b/c he couldn't even lose the Cavs center who can still play big inside vs small ball.
You will gain a lot more respect from me and just about every sub too....If you just make a Steph Curry criticism video lol I seen too many of the good, not enough of the bad. Thanks coach.
Aye coach. Don't listen to all the haters saying you need to make a video about how curry choked. Your analysis has always been the best and I know that whatever video you make will suffice. Don't change your opinions based on what others are saying. I know you won't and you will continue to provide is with your amazing analysis.
During the "Curry choke" vid can you compare his regular season stats to both finals appearances. And please don't hold back lol. Talk about his overrated passing and finishing. He throws two behind the back passes in one season and people think he is Magic Johnson 😂
+BBALLBREAKDOWN Let's hope you don't hold back. I'm not gonna say that you're hating LeBron and glorifying Curry like everybody else but some videos make it look that way. Regardless, good video!
I know people have been killing you with the whole "make a curry sucks" video but take it as we love the dedication and work you put into making great videos, your like our #1 source for unbiased breakdowns (even if you do have preferred styles and players etc). ESPN and other media focus on garbage stereotypes and nonsense like "this guys a dog and has heart that's why they will win" instead of talking strategy and in depth plays since that nonsense caters to the common fan. I was one of those people asking for a curry vid without realizing I'm acting like those same people that just hate curry and want a video for that sole reason,not realizing your one man breaking down hours of footage lol ignore those guys keep providing great content like this video and your future vids your hard work is much appreciated. your a one man army pumping out better breakdowns than 89.78% of what's in the media now a days

Coach! Great job on this video! But you know what, I think everyone would want to know your opinion on this: Did the Cavs win because of poor/uncharacteristic execution of the Warriors (arguments including exhaustion and decreased FG%, Dray's suspension and Curry's poor play)? Or did the Cavs successfully give the rest of the NBA league a blueprint on how to beat the Warriors?
+TheRealHitMan kobe in my book is top 10-12. He is a great great player that worked for everything he has but I truly believe Alot of fans overstate his accomplishments by comparing him to the Likes of Jordan and Kareem
+Miesha THE GOAT Tate 3** if Kendrick Perkins didnt get hurt in 2010. And im being serious. His big ass is the reason why Gasol and Bynum always struggled vs the Celtics. Bynum couldnt bully him downlow
I agree coach. I prefer team ball movement versus isolation based offenses, especially against elite defenses. Iso ball may have been the go-to offense back when zone wasn't allowed, but hey, the Warriors got the shots they wanted all playoffs long. I think they just shot themselves in the foot because the defense was there. Well, until Bogut went out.
I'd really like to see Curry's production at the rim in regular vs the playoffs for the last 3 years. Wonder if it routinely goes down. Id also love to see you go into mid range two point production in the playoffs vs the regular season...
Nice video, alot has been said and talked about this - but I always like the style and tone of your videos, keept it up! one remark: at the end you said something down the line of "this maybe the greatest rivalry in nba history" Comon Coach, you know better than this. NBA is THE rivalry competition. Celtics - Laker being the penultimate rivalry in sport except maybe for Barcelona - Real who go at eachothers throat in every sport.
Man even Coach Nick brings up the Draymond Green suspension as an excuse. That excuse is void since the Cavs steamrollered them the next game and they had Draymond. So glad the Cavs wiped them out after they took out OKC.
You know what I don't understand.....how can you be a fan of a team/player but then defend them when they play bad. When OKC lost game 6 I saw a ton of OKC fans agreeing that it was all KDs fault, yet when the Warriors choke, no Warriors "fans" could say that it was Currys fault or Klay came up short, it's always the series was rigged or Curry was injured. A real fan would defend a player/team when they play good and get hate, but criticizes them when they deserve it.
in the end of this video the guy says this is the best rivalry NBA will ever see I don't necessarily agree with that but I do agree that this is the best performance received from one man in the finals hats off to King James!!!
Kyrie hit the game 7 winning shot though. On the road too, that's like the clutchest shot anyone could possibly make. He's a straight killer. Lebron gets great stats and he definitely played his heart out, but he always needs a closer. In Miami it was dwade, now it's kyrie.
Just imagine if tristan thompson is anthony davis offensively. Greatest team ever. Sadly theyre just top 5 to 10. Beating peak warriors was a monumental accomplishment
There were rivalries when teams would be punching each other in the faces.. The NBA cant have rivalries like that anymore. Nick just wants us to start controversy in the comments.
Hey Coach Nick are you going to do a NBA draft impact for the respective teams. Like what the draftees brings to the team and are they going to be successful.
Best rivalry the NBA has ever seen?! That would be the Lakers vs Celtics. The only rivalry happening right now is "whichever team LeBron is on" vs "whichever team coming off the west"
Coach Nick can you do a breakdown of Tim Duncan's career? He is the Big Fundamental afterall and there are many new fans who do not get why he is as great as he is.
Aye Coach Nick. How about your next video or sometime in the future you link up with the guy who did the article on CBA structure. That is way more important than a video of Curry choking with bad turnovers, fouls, and ill-advised shots like in game 6 & 7.
+Jorel Byssainthe how many championship has east compared to west?i think in the east celtics have 16 titles and in the west lakers have 15 titles,but i dont know the right number for how much east and west trophies tottally got.
Cavs were down 3-1 , stop acting like the Cavs stomped the Warriors. They got lucky, by the suspension, injuries and help by the officials. Cavs barely won by 4 points smh
How he did it? Snitch on Draymond, rally for suspension, push for two games suspension, Warriors morale clearly shattered after the investigation and probably partially embarrassed by the Draymond controversy. Couple that with the Cavs being allowed to throw Curry around like a rag doll... I'd be exhausted and off my game too. I've no respect for James with this win over the Warriros. Mad respect for Kyrie being so clutch, but that's it.
The finals "screening" was so ugly. I hope the NBA puts a stop to this. Seems like around 40%+ of the "screens" consisted of the screener lifting up his own defender, carrying him ~10ft, and shoving him into the on-ball defender. (ex: 5:32) Both teams did this. It was ridiculously egregious. It was also really un-fun to watch. And then there was that "foul" on Curry during the game of 3 fake calls against Curry. Shump builds up speed, runs into Curry to shove him, and Curry (stationary, in defensive stance) keeps an arm out to brace against the sprinting Shumpert collision, and the refs whistle steph. Really ugly. Another large fraction of the "screens" were just blatant offensive fouls where the screener runs into the on-ball defender and shoves him with outstretched arms. (ex: 7:29, 7:50)
this is finals basketball where men belong and little boys can run to the bleachers. this was beautiful, 3 best series this year were undeniably okc vs spurs, okc vs warriors and cavs vs warriors. same theme running throughout: extremely physical play. hope the nba doesnt change a thing, let the players decide the game. let it become ugly let it become scrappy. the heart of the champion, who wants it more, fight for everything and give up nothing, never back down never surrender, sound like corny movie sayings but thats what it comes down to in the end. the last 5 minutes of game 7 were amazing, suspenseful, extremely ugly but produced 3 iconic plays, the block, the shot and the stop, yeah it was ugly basketball, but it was beautiful at the same time. 3 years ago we got in my opinion some of the most beautiful basketball played ever in the finals when san antonio got revenge on miami(re-watch game 3 all i can say is wow) and the series was over in 5 games. give me a beautiful mess over exquisite beauty any and every day of the week.... and especially during the finals :-)
people talking about "bandwagon" this or that are dumb. the nba is a players first league and people root for their favorite players. this isn't the nfl where the team comes first in people's minds.
Man, the Cavs' offense is so boring to watch, all isos with everyone just standing around and watching. It's sorry how this type of basketball was able to overcome the entire league this year. I can't wait for the Spurs to get a chance at Lebron again.
Iso ball was literally what spurs did against thunder loooool and lost cuz of it , doubt they can beat Cleveland , if they can't even beat thunder or gs
I was so proud watching LBJ dominate.
Felt so good to watch him crush curry
+BirdChirp007 lebron is one of the goats
Ur so proud that lebron barely squeaked by again just like when ray allen bailed him out a few years ago? Ur proud that lebron baited draymond into retaliating to force him to get another tech/flagrant and of course get suspended?...and no one talks about KYRIE winning the game 7. You close-minded simpletons are blinded by lebrons highlights as usual when his only TRUE finals win was against OKC when OKC shouldn't even had made it that year.

LeBron is the best all around basketball player ever.
MJ
+JZkicksA he said all around not points
Bryan Torralba he got all defensive first teams and dpoty...
+JZkicksA nah MJ wasn't as versatile, and could never have led the finals in every category, pts,asts,Rebs,Stls,blocks. Jordan was the best scorer ever tho.

+dharzfreeman Yeah you should thank them for the Warriors 73-9 record

They do that because had he lost, who would all the criticism go to? Exactly.

it's not like Westbrook is the most ballhogging player around.

(dont tell me Kobe isnt worse than westbrook in his last 5years .)
+Miltonman100 don't forget that he hates the entire raptors team either

+RondoStyle9 now I can start working on the Curry video. Might not be the video everyone wants, though...
+BBALLBREAKDOWN I think it will be. INSIGHT is all we've been asking for.
BBALLBREAKDOWN
Lol I guess we'll have to wait and see
+BBALLBREAKDOWN I wanna see a video about Curry being exploited defensively and how Shump and Love locked him down in Game 7!!
+BBALLBREAKDOWN if you make a curry video while giving him a pass and not expose him to the full extent of the word, most of your subs won't be satisfied. So I suggest you go all out on him!
Yessss this video is back up finally
90% of the people making fun of "curry's choke" are heat to cavs bandwagons but yet again 90% of warriors fans are bandwagons as well
thank you for noticing that. you are that 1% in this humanity who knows the situation.
I'm not hear or cavs fan in a bulls fan I just don't like curry lol

The "Warriors' hate" bandwagon is larger than the actual Warriors bandwagon. Oh the irony.
Yes you are right.
We just want the dickriding to stop coach nick included

That's my point. You're jumping on the bandwagon that hates the Warriors.

+BBALLBREAKDOWN thanks for replying btw We appreciate it man and love the videos
i am glad someone finally said this because if Bogut stays healthy TT doesn't get 15/15 in game 6. Love doesn't get 7/14.

LeBron went off in this series
he had to show how curry stoped lebron 5:21
Truuuu
so... that was one time out of like 99 other times lebron dominated him. retards...
but can curry guard kyrie?

I don't think that they know?
appreciate u making this
+Marcus Ramsey 🏀👊👍
Coach.. How Steph Curry defense hurt the Golden State Warriors? Thank you.
It did tho. It was a major focus for the Cavs to force switches so that Curry had to defend Lebron or Kyrie, due to his weak on ball defense. Don't know what game you were watching.
whats even worse is not only did his defense not hold up.. the cavs ACTIVELY pursued it, as opposed to.. oh yea, his defense is subpar..
+It's Nick definitely didnt watch the series. Sure curry is a good defender most of the time but this series his D was horrible to watch as a gs fan
I don't think Steph's a good defender. The GSW defensive scheme allows for him to anticipate passes. More often times than not, it isn't Steph guarding the team's best player if that player is the point guard.
Coach wont do that he loves curry so much.No way he gonna expose his baby.lmao
How about a Tristan Thompson defense on curry video ?
Tristan is a underrated beast, hes the big reason Curry wasn't that great and 1 dimensional b/c he couldn't even lose the Cavs center who can still play big inside vs small ball.
+Zanzi The Cheefah thompson better defending smaller players than Ibaka was . Ibaka got cooked everytime they went one on one vs Him in the wcf
+Miltonman100 So put Thompson on the thunder and they beat the Warriors
How about Love best defense of his life on the (regular season)MVP
+HACS Science1 maybe maybe not. If durant didnt choke they win regardless
Great video Coach. I'm still hoping you'll get on Curry's case but praising LeBron is still great.
+All Hail The King haha, working on a Curry video today...
Still no video on how badly Curry choked? Okay then LMFAOOO
+Toshino2452 now that this is done, I can get to work on my next one: comparing Curry from last year to this.
+BBALLBREAKDOWN looking forward to it; keep up the great work coach!
+BBALLBREAKDOWN respect
You will gain a lot more respect from me and just about every sub too....If you just make a Steph Curry criticism video lol I seen too many of the good, not enough of the bad. Thanks coach.
the Curry Choke video will be next fosho
I love this dude...he is so good to giving us the game within the game...and I'll always be a fan, because you don't get this info anywhere else
That block on Iggy was one of the best blocks ever lol
I thought it was Kyrie Irving that closed them out.
But hey, let’s just say it was LeBron to fit the media narrative.
Aye coach. Don't listen to all the haters saying you need to make a video about how curry choked. Your analysis has always been the best and I know that whatever video you make will suffice. Don't change your opinions based on what others are saying. I know you won't and you will continue to provide is with your amazing analysis.
During the "Curry choke" vid can you compare his regular season stats to both finals appearances. And please don't hold back lol. Talk about his overrated passing and finishing. He throws two behind the back passes in one season and people think he is Magic Johnson 😂
I'm not a hater though. I just have a bias opinion because I don't like how the warriors beat my bucks. #fearthedeer
Curry barely even Joe Johnson, let alone Magic when it comes to passes on point
+Zanzi The Cheefah since when does Johnson pass?Lol
+Zanzi The Cheefah your memory is short. It wasn't his role in the offense this year, but in 2014-15 he was an incredible passer.

+BBALLBREAKDOWN Let's hope you don't hold back. I'm not gonna say that you're hating LeBron and glorifying Curry like everybody else but some videos make it look that way. Regardless, good video!
+Tom Ato More plausible that he does it to troll people like you.
james jones you should be more proffesional than that
exactly...
Damn coach Nick is killing it with these videos. Keep them coming.
I know people have been killing you with the whole "make a curry sucks" video but take it as we love the dedication and work you put into making great videos, your like our #1 source for unbiased breakdowns (even if you do have preferred styles and players etc). ESPN and other media focus on garbage stereotypes and nonsense like "this guys a dog and has heart that's why they will win" instead of talking strategy and in depth plays since that nonsense caters to the common fan. I was one of those people asking for a curry vid without realizing I'm acting like those same people that just hate curry and want a video for that sole reason,not realizing your one man breaking down hours of footage lol ignore those guys keep providing great content like this video and your future vids your hard work is much appreciated. your a one man army pumping out better breakdowns than 89.78% of what's in the media now a days
its great that younger people can see a top 5 legend in action in his prime
perfect title bro. ur killing it
ur winning +++

COACH!!!!!!! Time for a video on the NEW LOOK WARRIORS.
The best Rivalry the NBA has ever seen? What the hell Nick, you cant really think that?
GS has some great defense
Thank you Coach for Finally giving LeBron his credit. #Witness
Andre Igoudala's defense is hilarious.
this video is great THX
man i love these type of videos
+Rehtrohh PS4 👍💪🏀
Coach! Great job on this video! But you know what, I think everyone would want to know your opinion on this:
Did the Cavs win because of poor/uncharacteristic execution of the Warriors (arguments including exhaustion and decreased FG%, Dray's suspension and Curry's poor play)? Or did the Cavs successfully give the rest of the NBA league a blueprint on how to beat the Warriors?
Bballbreakdown has the best content
+Samoan Bros 🏀💪👍
Great video, Coach! Keep working at it, long time fan and I love your videos!
+Alec Biggs thank you, sir! 👍💪🏀
video starts at 0:24
if warriors had won we would had by this time at least 5 videos of how lebron choked
great video coach thanks for the content
Bballbreakdown Can you describe how Bogut was a key miss to Golden State defense?
HAHAHAHAHA
ROFL
+Jose Rizal what do u mean? He's a great shot blocker dude
+Alweezy ^
+PigPlays [HD] he didn't play much anyway, played maybe like 10-15 minutes
He truly is top 5 of all time . And coach Nick, do you think he is better than Kobe Bean?
no doubt stats dont lie Lebrons are better, has more mvps, just less rings thats all you can say
+TheRealHitMan kobe in my book is top 10-12. He is a great great player that worked for everything he has but I truly believe Alot of fans overstate his accomplishments by comparing him to the Likes of Jordan and Kareem
+Miesha THE GOAT Tate 3** if Kendrick Perkins didnt get hurt in 2010. And im being serious. His big ass is the reason why Gasol and Bynum always struggled vs the Celtics. Bynum couldnt bully him downlow
+Miltonman100 I like LeBron's game a lot better than Kobe's, so I'd definitely put him ahead.
+Miltonman100 2* Loooool don't forget 2009 Kevin Garnetts injury when Boston went 38-3 that same year in 2009
I agree coach. I prefer team ball movement versus isolation based offenses, especially against elite defenses. Iso ball may have been the go-to offense back when zone wasn't allowed, but hey, the Warriors got the shots they wanted all playoffs long. I think they just shot themselves in the foot because the defense was there. Well, until Bogut went out.
I'd really like to see Curry's production at the rim in regular vs the playoffs for the last 3 years. Wonder if it routinely goes down. Id also love to see you go into mid range two point production in the playoffs vs the regular season...
even curry bandwagon fan had to expose curry
Nice video, alot has been said and talked about this - but I always like the style and tone of your videos, keept it up!
one remark: at the end you said something down the line of "this maybe the greatest rivalry in nba history"
Comon Coach, you know better than this. NBA is THE rivalry competition. Celtics - Laker being the penultimate rivalry in sport except maybe for Barcelona - Real who go at eachothers throat in every sport.
Man even Coach Nick brings up the Draymond Green suspension as an excuse. That excuse is void since the Cavs steamrollered them the next game and they had Draymond. So glad the Cavs wiped them out after they took out OKC.
video starts @ 0:31
you da real mvp
You know what I don't understand.....how can you be a fan of a team/player but then defend them when they play bad. When OKC lost game 6 I saw a ton of OKC fans agreeing that it was all KDs fault, yet when the Warriors choke, no Warriors "fans" could say that it was Currys fault or Klay came up short, it's always the series was rigged or Curry was injured. A real fan would defend a player/team when they play good and get hate, but criticizes them when they deserve it.
*Bandwagon Fans*
smart
Preach 👏
Amazing Video, Love It
in the end of this video the guy says this is the best rivalry NBA will ever see I don't necessarily agree with that but I do agree that this is the best performance received from one man in the finals hats off to King James!!!
It would’ve been until KD made his move
In simple terms: He went Beast mode.
I want to see how many times the "great defender" that is Steph Curry ,got scored on by LeBron and Kyrie.
Kyrie hit the game 7 winning shot though. On the road too, that's like the clutchest shot anyone could possibly make. He's a straight killer. Lebron gets great stats and he definitely played his heart out, but he always needs a closer. In Miami it was dwade, now it's kyrie.
Don't forget about the big Lebron block however, defense wins championships.
+Karmic true..that was as clutch as clutch could be..and if he dunked it on draymond it would've been the biggest dunk of all time
Na, Warriors didn't score, lebron hit last shot sealing it by 4..
Just imagine if tristan thompson is anthony davis offensively. Greatest team ever. Sadly theyre just top 5 to 10. Beating peak warriors was a monumental accomplishment
Best rivalry the NBA has ever seen? nah not by a mile'
agreed
Definitely up there tho
+ASaltyBrownsFan #SuperBowlBound Nah.Not yet.
la vs celtics
There were rivalries when teams would be punching each other in the faces.. The NBA cant have rivalries like that anymore. Nick just wants us to start controversy in the comments.
Would have been one of the greatest rivalries ever but KD made the Warriors too good.
Hey Coach Nick are you going to do a NBA draft impact for the respective teams. Like what the draftees brings to the team and are they going to be successful.
+D Williams the plan is definitely to get some of these out!
+BBALLBREAKDOWN that's cool
Why did you delete the Video with curry's Defense?
I love your videos
Very good video. Especially for someone like me, who isn't well versed with the game.
Best rivalry the NBA has ever seen?! That would be the Lakers vs Celtics. The only rivalry happening right now is "whichever team LeBron is on" vs "whichever team coming off the west"
Had the greatest NBA finals ever, Miami was more fun to watch, but it was probably the most nerve racking and best performance by FAR.
I was expecting more of James' defense, but this will have to do.
Coach Nick can you do a breakdown of Tim Duncan's career? He is the Big Fundamental afterall and there are many new fans who do not get why he is as great as he is.
thanx 4 the vid coach
+Isaac Good 🏀💪👍
Aye Coach Nick. How about your next video or sometime in the future you link up with the guy who did the article on CBA structure. That is way more important than a video of Curry choking with bad turnovers, fouls, and ill-advised shots like in game 6 & 7.
+fred coleman which guy are u talking about?
his Twitter handle is @btoporek"Should NBA FA sign long-term deals in 2016??? that's the name of the article.
Its not a rivalry, if you have LeBron James + Kyrie Irving + Tyron Lue
Ppl were saying Gstate isn't atl,Detroit,and toronto ..seems like it to me
W
Actually they aren't
The East teams did a better job defending the Cavs whenever they went off imo
The story of my life, the east is week but we've manage to win a lot of NBA championships, well if that's weakness ok.
+Jorel Byssainthe how many championship has east compared to west?i think in the east celtics have 16 titles and in the west lakers have 15 titles,but i dont know the right number for how much east and west trophies tottally got.
Cavs were down 3-1 , stop acting like the Cavs stomped the Warriors. They got lucky, by the suspension, injuries and help by the officials. Cavs barely won by 4 points smh
Coach why not try your hand in coaching in the NBA? you certainly have the theory behind it. I think you'll do better than most coaches in the NBA.
+Jerico Gantuangco thanks! You never know...
+BBALLBREAKDOWN coach make one of how the Cleveland cavaliers beat the warriors game 6 with the refs. It's ok, I'm just salty
How he did it? Snitch on Draymond, rally for suspension, push for two games suspension, Warriors morale clearly shattered after the investigation and probably partially embarrassed by the Draymond controversy. Couple that with the Cavs being allowed to throw Curry around like a rag doll... I'd be exhausted and off my game too. I've no respect for James with this win over the Warriros. Mad respect for Kyrie being so clutch, but that's it.
That bitch Draymond got what was coming to him. Been hitting people in the crotch all fucking playoffs, dirtiest player in the league this year.
isn't Iggy supposed to be the LEBRON JAMES stopper? Where was he at?
Was hard to watch Ezeli on LBJ, particularly in game 7.
The finals "screening" was so ugly. I hope the NBA puts a stop to this. Seems like around 40%+ of the "screens" consisted of the screener lifting up his own defender, carrying him ~10ft, and shoving him into the on-ball defender. (ex: 5:32) Both teams did this. It was ridiculously egregious. It was also really un-fun to watch. And then there was that "foul" on Curry during the game of 3 fake calls against Curry. Shump builds up speed, runs into Curry to shove him, and Curry (stationary, in defensive stance) keeps an arm out to brace against the sprinting Shumpert collision, and the refs whistle steph. Really ugly. Another large fraction of the "screens" were just blatant offensive fouls where the screener runs into the on-ball defender and shoves him with outstretched arms. (ex: 7:29, 7:50)
+weksauce I thought they let it get way too physical too. When Steph's man went to ball screen, it looked like football.
this is finals basketball where men belong and little boys can run to the bleachers. this was beautiful, 3 best series this year were undeniably okc vs spurs, okc vs warriors and cavs vs warriors. same theme running throughout: extremely physical play. hope the nba doesnt change a thing, let the players decide the game. let it become ugly let it become scrappy. the heart of the champion, who wants it more, fight for everything and give up nothing, never back down never surrender, sound like corny movie sayings but thats what it comes down to in the end. the last 5 minutes of game 7 were amazing, suspenseful, extremely ugly but produced 3 iconic plays, the block, the shot and the stop, yeah it was ugly basketball, but it was beautiful at the same time. 3 years ago we got in my opinion some of the most beautiful basketball played ever in the finals when san antonio got revenge on miami(re-watch game 3 all i can say is wow) and the series was over in 5 games. give me a beautiful mess over exquisite beauty any and every day of the week.... and especially during the finals :-)
good work on this vidio
people talking about "bandwagon" this or that are dumb. the nba is a players first league and people root for their favorite players. this isn't the nfl where the team comes first in people's minds.
It took you 2 weeks to find this shit out
+Eaglesfan41 yes, clearly I'm slow when it comes to basketball knowledge.
BBALLBREAKDOWN It's alright I know this whole basketball thing is new to you
love ur vids
It's simple. The Warriors went missing and no one could find them
Tyt sports gave you a s/o. I'm here because of them.
still waiting for biggest choker in nba history a.k.a Stephanie Curry
Man, the Cavs' offense is so boring to watch, all isos with everyone just standing around and watching. It's sorry how this type of basketball was able to overcome the entire league this year. I can't wait for the Spurs to get a chance at Lebron again.
Slow methtodical, less turnover and clock eating offense won a title this year
As a Spurs fan, STFU
Iso ball was literally what spurs did against thunder loooool and lost cuz of it , doubt they can beat Cleveland , if they can't even beat thunder or gs
the only time they really iso a lot is when they NEED a bucket so they get Curry to switch on to Kyrie or Lebron
Isnt hitting a difficult shot more entertaining than a wide open 3
I don't really think of Curry as Lebron's rival. I feel like he's only ever had two rivals. Himself and Jordan.
