When the Cavaliers were just emerging from their Game 5 loss to the Golden State Warriors in the 2015 NBA Finals, LeBron James came into the press conference and indicated that he was still confident “because I’m the best player in the world. It’s that simple.”

James’s comments raised waves of criticism, but if hadn’t said it, someone else would: Right here right now, King James is best in the world, and he provided us with an epic performance. Not Michael Jordan or Magic Johnson or even Kobe have performed at the levels we’ve witnessed during these Finals. Although, for those sportsbetting fans that followed the last basketball season, what happened on Game 6 was hard to swallow and almost impossible to understand. Even though King James put up some great numbers and was clearly the best player on the court, a single player can’t win a title, especially against a highly inspired team such as the Golden State Warriors.
