Bigotry against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals

        Congratulations to the Cleveland Cavaliers who won the NBA championship over the Golden State Warriors a few weeks ago. But, was this expected? The Golden State Warriors (GSW) finished this season with a record of 73 wins and 0 losses which is the all-time win record. Only the Chicago Bulls during the 1995-96 season have accomplished that before. As the season ended, everyone thought the GSW were going to win the championship, especially since the 2-year running MVP Stephen Curry was excelling in his games. At one point, the Warriors led the series 3-1; just one win away from a back-to-back championship title. They disregarded practice since they thought they would win it all. Everyone was convinced the Cavaliers were going to lose to the Warriors. But Lebron James promised that he would bring back a championship to Cleveland, his hometown; he certainly did not break that promise.

Stephen Curry vs Lebron James

Lebron James was forgotten ever since the GSW were at the 65 won-games mark. Everyone began to overrate Stephen Curry and underrate Lebron James. This made me really mad because Lebron is the better player. Just because Steph is able to shoot the ball accurately from the 3-point line does not mean he is a better basketball player than ''King James''. The fans who find that Curry is better then Lebron obviously do not understand the reason why Lebron is called the King. He is called the King because he is the best player. He rules everyone. Lebron is unstoppable.

First of all, I don't even understand how people can compare Lebron James to Stephen Curry and not see the differences. Lebron is a small forward and Curry is a point guard. Usually, small forwards are better than point guards just by their physical strength. Secondly, Lebron is well-built: Curry, not so much. It doesn't make sense that the popular opinion is that Curry is better. Lebron's stats during his season compared to Curry's are just ridiculous.

Many people blame it on Lebron being older then Stephen Curry. That's why the fans of the NBA think that Curry is better then Lebron. But these stats on the right show Lebron's accomplishments compared to Curry's accomplishments at both the age of 28.

In this diagram, Curry is nowhere close to Lebron in points, assists, rebounds, steals, playoff wins or all-star nominations. Statistics don't lie.

All of this should show that these two players are good at what they do but they can't be compared.
