LeBron Should Win, But He'd Better Do It Now

And then , there were two!

This has been an interesting season of basketball in the NBA, one in which the new guard came in a rush to stake claim at the league's MVP.

Curry claimed the crown, but everyone qualifies his achievement by saying LeBron is still the best basketball player in the world- even if the MVP didn't reach his mantle again.

Stephen Curry has the duty of living up to his crowning while taking down a man who has seen this stage for 5 years straight.  Nothing that Golden State Warrior Coach Steve Kerr can say from the bench will match the words LeBron can share in the middle of it all.  Eventually, Steph must take down the king James by himself if he hopes to be the new king.

Tonight brings that opportunity to a head and everything that we would like to say in analysis is mostly hot air. LeBron's Cleveland Cavaliers are a Vegas underdog, but that kind of stuff is mostly a matter of betting, not basketball.  The NBA champion is, and always will be a deserving team because 7 games insures it.  I expect the king to retain his throne simply because he's reached that cross section between experience and enough youth to do something about it.

Plus, there's nothing like a little Curry to spice up your legacy- right LeBron?

That being said, he'd better win right now, because Curry is a once in a lifetime talent who's doing something that these eyes have never quite seen before. But maybe it's just me.
