LeBron is thinking, "This is JUST like passing to Westbrook! Because either way I don't get the ball back." Meanwhile Lillard at home going "He missed 11. I would have hit those."
CP3 taking an All Star roster spot to 2 minutes "to get an assist" in the ASG with an injured hand really flies in the face of being a leader for the players. Let somebody else go be an "All Star". Really cements him as a selfish villain in my book.

It makes you appreciate Klay's 60 point game and Steph's own 62 point game all the more as in those games the opposing teams were playing defense and it didn't matter.
Saw someone on another forum dismissing what Steph did as "easy" because there was no real defense. Any time you break a record held by the greatest basketball players in history by almost doubling it up, I don't think "easy" is the right word. "Fun", yes. "Irrelevant" in the greater scheme of things, probably that too, although I think the importance of this is the level of respect from the other players to allow Steph to follow through on it - had Steph been this hot four years ago I doubt he gets the record because a lot of the league was still in full resentment mode - it feels like Steph finally paid his dues by having to, and proving he could, carry the team last season. But threes from 33 feet are never "easy", nor is hitting almost 60 percent of them.

Well done! Props indeed to LeBron, who seems to have recovered his fandom for Steph that went MIA during the 3-1 series result in those four straight finals.
I keep hoping someone’s got a better view of Steph’s only two point basket, which from a live viewing might have been his most impressive of the night. Haven’t seen one yet, not surprisingly given the other 16.
Turns a double axel into a double Axl Rose. Gold.
Love the irony, as usual.

Lebron was not prematurely celebrating; he was telling everyone to hustle back to the other end of the court in order to not play defense.
Attempting 27 3s in a row is already tiring enough... ask HOU.. they didn't make one.
P.S Lol at Devin Booker for crying for a foul in an ASG
Wow having missed the game this was great Mr. Apricot!
