People have been rooting for Lebron to fail his entire career. The Warriors have really revved up the Hate Machine by breaking the Bulls' record and becoming the darling of the NBA. Haters want to see the Warriors fall flat on their face, but then that means another championship for Lebron. And that means more greatness for him, which is a threat to insecure Kobe/Jordan stans. So if you are a hater, who do you want to see fail under the circumstances?
I'm a bit torn here, because I wouldn't mind if Lebron helps Cleveland get their very first NBA championship. However, having a West coast bias, I'm going to root for the GS Warriors to WIN, and Lebron to lose.

Look Bajan...Im no hater of either team. I was a hater of the Spurs and Miami though. Ive been wanting to see Lebron win IN CLEVELAND since he got drafted. The warriors have been a bad team since RUN TMC days, so if anyone is deserving of a winning team is the San Fran-Oakland area. The team is good and success did not come immediately for them. Curry has been in the league for a while and just got to the Finals last year. Lebron still has not won where it counts and that is in Cleveland Ohio. I dont any reason to hate either team. They arent the yawn fest that the San Antonia Spurs were.
I'm a big Kobe fan, but once his body fell apart, I couldn't deny how great Lebron was (is). Yeah I rooted against him for a year or two in Miami, but he matured a bit and it's kind of amazing how good he still is after 13 years. Imagine how good the Lakers would have been if he had been on the early 2000s Lakers with Shaq instead of Kobe. In my mind, the signature Lebron play is sprinting down the floor and getting an awesome block, not hitting a 3 with Shane Battier's hand in your face, which is pretty cool.
I'm not exactly a hater of either team but I do get annoyed by the bay area arrogance (this has nothing to do with sports). For some reason I don't have a problem with the Sharks winning though. Probably because they've never won before. Or because Oakland is a dump.
I guarantee you Lebron will win this poll by a landslide.
I rooted for Lebron in last yeas finals. This year, I'm going to have to root for the Warriors because I want to see them complete the best season in NBA history. It kind of sucks because Lebron will get even more hate for dropping yet another Finals.
Actually I probably rooted against Lebron for a while because of ESPN's stupid "Heat index" thing every single game. "Lebron only scored 35 points tonight, C+." "Celtics kept it close and lost by 5, B+." I think ESPN deserves most of the hate.
I'd like to see the city of Cleveland get their championship on some sport, but I can't in good conscience root for a guy (no matter his opponent) as egomaniacal and two-faced as Lebron James. Until he stops trying to dictate the entire system of every organization he's in, I'll always be a Lebron hater...which is too bad, because I really want to like a guy with his skills.
