David Blatt is feeling pretty bold these days. While giving a speech in Israel, Blatt made some head turning comments, like comparing his star player to Moses. Blatt went in deeper when he guaranteed the Cavs will win the title next year, because you know that nobody is going to let him forget it.

NBA reporter David Pick witnessed Blatt’s speech and talked about it during a radio interview on Thursday. “He said LeBron is like Moses…what he was like to the Jewish people when they left Egypt,” Pick said during the interview. “He said wherever LeBron goes, people follow.”
Comparing Lebron to Moses is more than a stretch, but I think we get his point, regardless of how exaggerated it was. As far as the guarantee, I mean it’s not like his team doesn’t have the best shot, especially coming from the East. Still, as a coach you would usually want to avoid such words. Check the gallery!
