7 Takeaways For LeBron’s Seventh-Straight NBA Finals Appearance

4. LeBron’s Respect for Celtics is Still Legit

Although Cleveland dominated the overwhelming majority of the series, there was a great deal of mutual respect between both teams from the players and the coaches.

LeBron and Tyronn Lue both gave credit to Brad Stevens for his coaching acumen and also acknowledged how well he prepared for Cleveland, given the circumstances of missing All-Star point guard Isaiah Thomas.

LeBron embraced Isaiah Thomas after the win in a show of respect and solidarity, as the point guard has been dealing with the tragic death of his younger sister.

Boston has an impressive core of players and also owns the No. 1 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. It’s not out of the question for these two teams to meet again in the 2018 ECF.
