00:00

So the Golden State Warriors will face

00:02

the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals again.

00:05

There are three things we can count on in this life.

00:07

They are death, taxes, and LeBron James

00:09

trying to take down a dynasty.

00:11

This year, James' task is particularly daunting.

00:14

Vegas has made the Cavs nearly a ten-to-one underdog.

00:18

Ten-to-one!

00:19

Charles Barkley has a better chance of

00:21

making it as a Senior Tour golfer.

00:23

Side rant, my fellow Demon Deacon Chris Paul

00:26

got injured when he was one game away from the Finals.

00:29

One game!

00:31

What a dagger, the guy is cursed,

00:33

and now we all have to watch the Warriors win

00:35

another title and hear all about the Hampton's Five,

00:38

which includes the league's most insecure star

00:41

in Kevin Durant, the league's most cocky player

00:43

in Stephan Curry, and the league's biggest instigator

00:46

in Draymond Green, and then there's Steve Kerr.

00:49

Actually, Steven Kerr's pretty awesome, nevermind.

00:53

But no one is as awesome as LeBron Raymone James.

00:57

Through three rounds of the play-offs,

00:58

he's already scored 40 or more points seven times

01:01

and hit two game-winning buzzer-beaters.

01:04

It's a good thing he's got strong shoulders

01:06

'cause he's carried this sorry group of players

01:08

all the way to the Finals yet again.

01:10

Then again, you could probably pair

01:12

LeBron with four guys from our office

01:14

and he'd still win the Easter Conference.

01:15

Hey, I'd come out of retirement to play

01:17

the role of Kyle Corver,

01:19

just spotting up in the corner to hit threes.

01:21

Look at this stroke, wet.

01:25

But winning the NBA title is a different story.

01:27

These Warriors are annoying but they're also damn good,

01:31

and I do like the fact that the Hampton's Five

01:33

is more concerned with splitting into

01:35

foursomes on the golf course once the season's over,

01:37

but while they're calling each other to

01:39

arrange tea-times this summer,

01:40

hopefully LeBron is calling Chris Paul and James Harden

01:43

because if the king is going to topple

01:45

the Golden State Dynasty for good,

01:47

he's gonna need to join forces with some other NBA royalty.
