Open from 8 feet behind the line after a screen , and an air ball.
Are you talking about LaBum's pull up three at the end because he was to tired to drive the lane?

Serious question, do you believe in repentance?
Serious answer, yes.
Serious question, what if he leaves to chase another ring. What do you consider that?

To me it's simple, the main "sin" he did was how he made "The Decision" and shoved it in the Cavs faces. He apologized for that pretty sincerely it seems and he came back to CLE with no obligation to do so. Then he won a championship the city was desperate for. To me that works to get full forgiveness.

If he leaves again and does it like a normal player giving the team notice etc. I'll be sad he's leaving but I won't be mad at him for it.

That aside as a person I've always respected the community work he does and the life he lives. He is one of the best role models as an African-American in sports I've ever seen. For that there can be no argument he is one of the GOATs, if the not the GOAT of our generation at least (#42 will probably be remembered as the all time great).

Walter Payton.

The Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award recognizes an NFL player for his excellence on and off the field. The award was established in 1970. It was renamed in 1999 after the late Hall of Fame Chicago Bears running back, Walter Payton. Each team nominates one player who has had a significant positive impact on his community.

no oladipo had an extremely wide open 3 to tie with about a minute left and he botched it. It was a close game and Indy definitely had a chance to win.

They led the whole way, so please don't comment on a game if all you gonna do is lookup the final score. The Pacers basically didn't threaten the whole game. And there was an undefended 3 at the buzzer. (And IIRC right b4 that the Pacers scored a lightly defended shot.) It wasn't a "bounce of the ball" 3 point win.
Lol, I'm not gonna pretend to know whether you actually watched (like you did to me), but I will state emphatically that you don't understand basketball if you think they didn't threaten the whole game.

Collison hit a contested 3 in transition with just under a minute to play to make it a one possession game (95-92). They then get the stop at the other end on a George Hill offensive foul. Just to recap. That means they were within 3 with the ball with 36 seconds left - ie potentially enough time for a 2 for 1, or just go for a 3. They somehow get a wide open 3 from Oladipo that he misses, and that was basically the game. The 5 additional points that you clearly feel CLE 'let' IND score are no more or less significant than the 5 FT's CLE hit from that point on.

He does flash class at times.

I agree that it was big of him to stand up for her, but it also kinda implies that his response to her in the moment was somewhat... scripted. Which fits perfectly with the way I see him.

I will give him the benefit and say his emotions did take over.

It's cherry picking. The 40+ point playoff games list has MJ at the top with 38 to Lebron's 20.

LeBron has more to be worried about than Cleveland fans. I'm not worried at all, the monkey is off our backs.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Cleveland is only going to start a new drought, and lebron already solidified his legacy by winning in cleveland his team around   him now  is not good ...he will go somewhere else with a good roster and win 2 more championships and his legacy will be  just fine
