He is, KD made him look old and slow in the Finals. The problem is the GSWs though, not the Cavs. Those guys are not in decline.
Must have watched different Finals. The one I saw LBJ averaged 34-12-10 and the games were won by Golden State during the 4 minutes he was off the floor each game.
I watched the actual games, not the box scores
KD played huge, no question about it; I'm fine with him getting the MVP. But he hardly outclassed LBJ. For long stretches, LeBron was the best player on the floor for either team - by the eye test and by the score. Not only did he absolutely carry his team, he did it in all phases of the game - passing, rebounding, scoring, defense - and did it for long stretches. If he looked slow at the end of the game, it's because he was gassed - anybody would be.
Celticsince83 isn't just looking at the box totals. He's comparing what happened when LBJ played to the few minutes each game LeBron sat. I've never seen anything like it - he was just carrying his team. In Game 3, which ended up being a five-point loss, James was a plus-seven in 46 minutes. That means in the two minutes LeBron sat down, the Cavaliers were a minus-12.
(If there's one thing that worries me about Kyrie, this is it: the team fell apart when LeBron sat. Klay Thompson's length really gave KI a lot of trouble -- trouble he did not have, at all, when guarded by Bradley.)
Last point - knock the box score all you want, but LBJ is the first player to average a triple-double in the finals, and he did it with *very* efficient shooting - 56.4% overall, 38.7% from 3. On 30.9% usage!! If that is old and slow, I hope we can make one or two of the Celtics as old and slow, as soon as possible.
