LeBron had spot-on answer to Cavs-Warriors critics

Andrew Joseph

Heading into the season, a fourth straight NBA Finals meeting between the Cavaliers and Warriors seemed like formality. As the season played out, though, that predictable NBA Finals matchup seemed awfully unpredictable.

Yet, here we are, and the Warriors will face the Cavaliers in the Finals for a fourth straight year. And LeBron James was asked to address the critics who are tired of Cavs-Warriors.

It would be difficult to argue with his answer.

James said:

"Teams have had their opportunities to beat the Cavs over the last four years. Teams have had opportunities to beat the Warriors over the last four years. If you want to see someone else in the [Finals], then you gotta beat 'em."

And LeBron is right. The Cavaliers went seven games with Indiana. They had to overcome a 3-2 deficit with the Celtics. Plus, LeBron had arguably his weakest supporting cast this year and still made the Finals. The Warriors also overcame a 3-2 deficit against the No. 1 seed Rockets (albeit without Chris Paul).

Teams have had every opportunity to stop Cavs-Warriors from happening, and they've failed to do so. Until a team can pull it off, let's enjoy the best player on the planet going up against the NBA's most talented team.
