Eric de Llamas - Agree with what you said. LEBRON PINNED IT SPOT ON.. plus Mike Breen's call of the block was spot on. I remember watching it, I was jumping up and down, hella hyped, cause that was pure 'superhuman' effort. Godly ...
+Surf Surfing what you need to understand is that with a made lay up, the future is changed and there is even morenpressure on thay shot and a different scenario
Jamar Lawton faaaaaaaacts. That's what I was saying. Imagine the same scenario switched up... If Kyrie Irving would of blocked the lay up and LeBron James hit the game winning shot, there wouldn't be no glorifying Kyries block as much as they do LeBron James, no one would be talking about " the block". They would be talking about the game winning shot LeBron James hit. But since he's LeBron James they have to hand him the credit for winning the game.
JR ain get any credit for this W (Not saying he was more important than Bron n KY) he showed up when the Cavs needed it. So many of his big shots went unnoticed.
8 straight to open the third when the warriors were just a few points away from an (almost) unassailable lead.A 10pt lead in a game 7 feels like 30pts.
Ad Makaveli game 6 was great to bro but it didn’t become really great until the 4th quarter because the Spurs were giving it to the Heat compared to game 7 when it was great throughout
After all these years, this still gives me chills! Man oh man! The greatest comeback of all time! Never thought this tandem will end that soon. But still, this shows that as long as every one is focus on the same goal, nothing is impossible!
I still can't believe Lebron made up that distance and without fouling Andre made a clean chase down . Most incredible play of my life #striveforgreatness
people who only watch highlight have no idea how intense this series was... after being down 3-1, for some reason going to game 5, the body language from every Cavs player just looked extremely confident.
One of the greatest championship wins in NBA history, the emotion, the tension, the atmosphere,... are all in the highest level. This makes the 2017 Finals boring as fuck
Man this is definitely the best basketball game of all time. We literally saw everything chase downs 3s dunks fucking everything you can think of!!!!!!
I cannot stress how beautiful Kyrie played this game. Kyrie decided to become the basketball Da Vinci for this game and every bucket he had were pure art.
I'm LBJ fan but he didn't carry Kyrie at all, Bron lead the team but the duo carries the team, Kyrie was a monster clearly on of the best performance I've ever seen in the nba finals.
TOtally agree here.... that's the biggest difference overall. Curry doesn't defend the other PG. When they were down 3-1 vs Thunder that was the biggest move and a series changer for the Warriors. They took Curry off Westbrook (he's a physical beast). And put Klay on him. Curry then could save energy for offense (and wasn't foul trouble all the time). That's exactly what the Cavs exposed in this series.
What?.... "Without the Block, You don't have the Shot, Without the shot you don't have the stop". I don't think anyone ever said the Kyrie lost the NBA finals for them this year. I don't see where Kyrie head is here. I know people gave him shit about game 3 this year. But there is no way he should be taking it to heart that he wants to leave. Makes no sense in m opinion. But oh well. Warriors are the only one winning here.
KILLMONGER X you stupid kyrie can finish with both hands handles are second to none can post up mid range he has range can finish on any body and under the rim game is impregnable
LeBron James and Dwyane Wade Dynamic Duo Is Better Than LeBron James and Kyrie Irving And LeBron James and Dwyane Wade Would've Won 3 NBA Championships in 2011 and 2012 and 2013 If LeBron James Didn't Have A Meltdown Performance Against The Dallas Mavericks in That 2011 NBA Finals.
LeBron averaged 17.8 PPG as well as 7 RPG and 7 APG. Not a drastic difference from Wade's averages in 2011 and 2012, and the Mavs were weaker than the Thunder and Spurs. Wade played amazing in the finals. Why didn't that work? Because Wade, as great as he is and as much as I like him, isn't LeBron.
LeBron James Was Supposed To Play Like What LeBron James Did In The Celtics and The Bulls Series And The King Was Supposed To Play Like That Against The Dallas Mavericks in That NBA Finals And I Don't Know Why He Had That Meltdown.
Lebron played well against the Bulls and Celtics because it was clear Lebron was the #1 option. In the finals, LeBron and Wade had difficulty figuring out who "the guy" was, causing LeBron to defer to Wade and the Heat to implode.
The cavs made every shot and gs didn't play well, but that's what it took to beat this team. Unbelievable that they got KD in the offseason. It's honestly just absurd. None of their rings matter because they have the most over powered lineup of all time.
Adub Johnson FrFr game 7 was bad game for everyone. Kyrie LeBron Klay Steph was bricking shots but coming 3rd and 4th LeBron and Kyrie carried them to victory. Draymond was the only one that was hot off start
watching this in 2018 and its still AMAZING!!!! this was the last TRUE NBA Finals...after that everything was a joke...KD congrats but the NBA finals had no competition after the 2016 one. this was a GAME 7 that went to the LAST SECONDS. Come on now, thats competition. thanks KD LOL we happy for you but damn boy you ruined what would have been an amazing 4 finals especially if both teams remained almost intact.
I cry every time I see this. LeBron James never a got chance to be LeBron James thanks to media and Basketball Critics. This established & engraved his Legacy for ever. To see him & his Teammates rejoice & celebrate like that is what the Sport is all about, not comparing & belittling others
Lebron James made Boobie Gibson relevant, made Mo Williams relevant, made Big Z semi-relevant, made Carlos Boozer relevant (getting a big contract with Utah), Tristan Thompson, JR Smith, Dellavedova, Mozgov, etc. After them bums had no LeBron, they were no longer relevant.
Cavs that one game epitomizes teamwork.... yes two individual standout but those two individuals wouldn’t have had their performance and W if it hadn’t been the team
Man...That shot was the most important play in NBA history. I am not saying Irving is Kobe or MJ, but considering the circumstances, the drought and his age. Irving received MVP chants at the parade, and deservedly so. He was the MVP of that game. Salty he left, but miss having that guy tho. NY gonna have a special player.
Yeah, that shot will go down as one of the most iconic plays in NBA history, right up there with MJ's shot over Ehlo. The block was great, but people are forgetting 1) He still has to make the layup 2) We still need to score 3) The made layup means we still win by one.
Draymond Green’s performance in that game was great, because he usually does not score that many points(32,15, and 9 with two steals.He also went 6-8 from three).
I watched it already but i like to wach it again and again.. the duos power... maybe if kyrie was still in 2018 nba champion as a cavaliers. Player .. maybe they won again.. bcos lbj is in his great season carear... .
I will miss this, because i really cant see anybody else whos a threat to gsw. This duo was great, and i genuinely hope that kyrie does great on the celtics. People who hold ill will for kyrie for asking to be traded are stupid, because that atleast allows him to build upon his own legacy, instead of being the sidekick. If lebron doesnt hold a grudge for kyrie, what right do others have to be mad about?
This series lebron and kyrie took the gsw hearts from them they knew they weren't gonna beat the Cavs after this thats why they had to add kd to a 73-9 team 😂😂 ion blame i wanna win too kds move was still weak tho could have gone anywhere else and actually competed
LeBron's block on Iguodala is forever iconic in NBA history. Same goes with Kyrie's shot over Curry.
Eric de Llamas - Agree with what you said. LEBRON PINNED IT SPOT ON.. plus Mike Breen's call of the block was spot on. I remember watching it, I was jumping up and down, hella hyped, cause that was pure 'superhuman' effort. Godly ...
Jamar Lawton - Did you not read my second sentence of the original comment? Oh, and I'm glad he left, LMAO. I'm a Celtics fan.. 🍀
Jamar because "the block" validates the saying defense win championships! you can put "the block" to Jordan stealing the ball to Karl Malone..

First time in NBA history a two man team with sub par role players beat probably the best team ever
Swiss Cheese 😂 4real they contradict tf outta themselves
Stephen Curry MVP Love was ass, it was Lebron and Kyrie vs the Warriors
Facts
Hakeem won his first ring with no all stars against a good Knicks team
No this is the second time， last time 1995 Huston Rocket with Hakeem Olejuwoon and Clye drexler， win the champion with 6th seed in the west
JR ain get any credit for this W (Not saying he was more important than Bron n KY) he showed up when the Cavs needed it. So many of his big shots went unnoticed.
Hahahaha
No doubt!! Swish made some big shots to get the game close again!
Got them back from that deficit in the 3rd quarter and gave bron that contest to give him time for that historic block.
JR wasn’t missing
8 straight to open the third when the warriors were just a few points away from an (almost) unassailable lead.A 10pt lead in a game 7 feels like 30pts.
Man that was an amazing game. Probably the best basketball game I've seen in years
Exactly!! The rest of the series was terrible though.... Soooo many blowouts.
Cliff Paul GM 7 Spurs at Miami in 2013 was pretty damn close
@@michaeloverton2437 game 6 bro
Ad Makaveli game 6 was great to bro but it didn’t become really great until the 4th quarter because the Spurs were giving it to the Heat compared to game 7 when it was great throughout
Jr Smith don't get enough credit he went crazy in that 3rd Quarter
Lil Dagga honesty thought I was the only one thinking that. In that 3rd I was like shit they lost and then he started going crazy.
Only a handful of people remember JR going nuts. A lot of people thought it was over. What he finish with 9-10 points? (too lazy to look it up).
20
jeebs9 He had like 8 early in the 3rd that kept them in the game
YES! He came straight in the beggining of the 3rd with back to back 3s. If he didn't do that the gap would become too big
Greatest championship I've ever witnessed hands down
Iguodala to curry, back to Iguodala, up for the lay up... OHHH BLOCKED BY JAMES!!!! Lebron James with the rejection.
Never get tired of hearing that
iconic commentary
lostinYourReality Me too
tony tonyt Why do you have a profile picture of parker McKenna posey, is that your profile pic?
tony tonyt Oh from my wife and kids, she Bae
Pennywise The dancing clown wtf
Not from Cleveland. Never even been to Cleveland..but that night I was rooting for Cavs like they were my hometown team.
After all these years, this still gives me chills! Man oh man! The greatest comeback of all time! Never thought this tandem will end that soon. But still, this shows that as long as every one is focus on the same goal, nothing is impossible!

Justin Lee exactlyy this was the best finals game ive seen bro it was so nerveracking
Still can't believe Lebron blocked that shit 😮😱
One of the most historic finals of all time!
This proves that they were a team, they carried each other.
Man this is definitely the best basketball game of all time. We literally saw everything chase downs 3s dunks fucking everything you can think of!!!!!!
Just watched this again made my eyes water a lil but when I seen game live I was just jumping in joy😂😭😭😭
I cannot stress how beautiful Kyrie played this game. Kyrie decided to become the basketball Da Vinci for this game and every bucket he had were pure art.
Forever going to miss LeBron and kyrie...
That LBJ block was sick but Kyrie game winner was I'll.
i really wish lebron would have scored the dunk to seal the game
Greatest duo performance in finals history! Then KD joined the Warriors 🙄🤦🏽♂️! Curry, Klay & Draymond didn’t want noooooo smoke lol
Could've been best duo in NBA history don't @ me
DB curry n kd will be
DB lmaooo theres so many better duos
DB Lebron and wade were a better duo
@
Really?! Scottie and MJ ring a bell?
Bron carried this team to the finals but kyrie helped them win the title
Carrie?
LeBron did not carry Kyrie at all
I'm LBJ fan but he didn't carry Kyrie at all, Bron lead the team but the duo carries the team, Kyrie was a monster clearly on of the best performance I've ever seen in the nba finals.
Still getting goosebumps from the block and the buzzer sounding to end the game
Kyrie Irving Has Outplayed Stephen Curry in The Last Two Years in The NBA Finals.
Last year, not this year. Steph got 26.8ppg and 9.4apg while Kyrie got 29.4ppg and 4.4apg. In my opinion, Steph played better this year.
Malcolm Xavier James Gumbs yeah but still curry is better he's better passer, shooter, playmaker, defender kyrie is just a scorer
TOtally agree here.... that's the biggest difference overall. Curry doesn't defend the other PG. When they were down 3-1 vs Thunder that was the biggest move and a series changer for the Warriors. They took Curry off Westbrook (he's a physical beast). And put Klay on him. Curry then could save energy for offense (and wasn't foul trouble all the time).

Chuy tha GOAT 2⃣3⃣ curry is a horrible on ball defender kyrie is slightly better on the ball
word
When basketball actually had meaning and players played with passion 😢
Never thought kyrie would switch up on us like this. Smh
Lebron said countless times on interviews "Kyrie is more than a superstar" but ya'll forgot...
What?.... "Without the Block, You don't have the Shot, Without the shot you don't have the stop". I don't think anyone ever said the Kyrie lost the NBA finals for them this year. I don't see where Kyrie head is here. I know people gave him shit about game 3 this year. But there is no way he should be taking it to heart that he wants to leave. Makes no sense in m opinion.

Ibnziyad Tariq people doesn't mean everybody it's a lot of people that gave Kyrie credit for that championship
DemGamers So Cool that's what he says on cam but in closed doors it was a different story
Primetime Sanders his coming back this summer to lebron !!!!
I always felt THIS was the Title that solidified Lebron's Legacy as one of the best to ever do it.
Those 3rd quarter 3's from JR were so clean. Swishhhh (2020 btw. Super sad what's happening, and needed this reminder that anything can happen)
Kyrie is like the point guard kobe
Luke Bennefield yea
Jøséph Āntön no joke
Kyrie is more skilled than Kobe
TyroneNBAFan no tf he's not stop the bs but he is the closest thing to kobe #shortmamba
KILLMONGER X you stupid kyrie can finish with both hands handles are second to none can post up mid range he has range can finish on any body and under the rim game is impregnable
I get chills every time I see that 3 by kyrie
LeBron James and Dwyane Wade Dynamic Duo Is Better Than LeBron James and Kyrie Irving And LeBron James and Dwyane Wade Would've Won 3 NBA Championships in 2011 and 2012 and 2013 If LeBron James Didn't Have A Meltdown Performance Against The Dallas Mavericks in That 2011 NBA Finals.

LeBron averaged 17.8 PPG as well as 7 RPG and 7 APG. Not a drastic difference from Wade's averages in 2011 and 2012, and the Mavs were weaker than the Thunder and Spurs.

LeBron And Wade 4/2
LeBron And Kyrie 3/1
But 2015, 2016, 2017 GSW> 2011 Dallas, 2012 OKC and 2013, 2014 Spurs
King James and prince kyrie I will miss this cavs kingdom
don't call him a prince, it was batman and superman, not batman and robin
A true understacked team at that time... History has been made for sure
Are we not gonna talk about kyrie breaking curry"s ankles at 5:06
Best finals of my 19 year life and I'm not a Cavs fan
mad respect for Kyrie winning helping my team win the title but sad he didn't wanna stay that was unfortunate.
Because they were giving Lebron all the credit and it’s true Kyrie really won the game for them
@@yungkb3x ya trippin
@@antoninhosoto8452 he did without that shot from Kyrie the Cavs would have lost
@@yungkb3x how it would still be tied
@@brickstone_general9012 right? lol guy has no logic
These were the 7 games that truly determined the better team
Kyrie is the best clutch shooter
That Kyrie three in currys face was clutch

imo those two 3s by smith were just as important as that bloke be lebron and kyries 3...
Greatest moment in NBA history
Series***
wish kyrie and LBJ still played together
Lebron James made Boobie Gibson relevant, made Mo Williams relevant, made Big Z semi-relevant, made Carlos Boozer relevant (getting a big contract with Utah), Tristan Thompson, JR Smith, Dellavedova, Mozgov, etc. After them bums had no LeBron, they were no longer relevant.
Cavs that one game epitomizes teamwork.... yes two individual standout but those two individuals wouldn’t have had their performance and W if it hadn’t been the team
kyrie was hitting everything and Bron played DPOY defense that game. 2 steals and 4 blocks. Switching on Curry, Switching on Klay
kyrie and lebron in this series..omg ...insane....
that and1 by kyrie on draymond is my favorite kyrie play all time, second is the block on steph from 2015 finals
Man...That shot was the most important play in NBA history. I am not saying Irving is Kobe or MJ, but considering the circumstances, the drought and his age. Irving received MVP chants at the parade, and deservedly so. He was the MVP of that game. Salty he left, but miss having that guy tho. NY gonna have a special player.
One the greatest basketball games ever
Harrison Barnes and Anderson Verajao were the weaknesses on offense and defense
Just one of greatest duo's ever like 7th or so.
2018 anyone ?
#BESTMOMENTS
This was such an inspiring game!
Kyrie won the Cavaliers this series.. he was literally UNSTOPPABLE.
Yeah, that shot will go down as one of the most iconic plays in NBA history, right up there with MJ's shot over Ehlo. The block was great, but people are forgetting 1) He still has to make the layup 2) We still need to score 3) The made layup means we still win by one.
From this duo to now crazy duo's of players of this upcoming season.. Shit is crazy.
who’s watching this in 2020? best finals i’ve ever watched almost 4 years ago
wow
You know the block is big when the entire cavs coaching staff stands up at 6:25
Kyrie a fucking beast u can't teach that touch he has around the basket
Draymond Green’s performance in that game was great, because he usually does not score that many points(32,15, and 9 with two steals.He also went 6-8 from three).
my god bro Kyrie was cooking. 71% FROM THE FIELD. 70% FROM 3 WTF! Talking bout Game 5 by the way. Where they combined for 82. Game 7 was Icy asf too💯💯
The best NBA FINALS EVER
Kyrie and Lebron were the baddest men on the planet during this series.
I watched it already but i like to wach it again and again.. the duos power... maybe if kyrie was still in 2018 nba champion as a cavaliers. Player .. maybe they won again.. bcos lbj is in his great season carear... .
kyrie deserved finals mvp his energy is just beast
Sharona Maina nah
definitely one for
the books!
Man no fast break was safe with Lebron on the court. The dude was inhumanly everywhere.
best finals I've ever seen. Thanks KD.
This made up for the first six games being decided by an average margin of victory of 20
If Kyrie and Bron stayed together
Them two together are insane
Kyrie was in his FUCKING BAG my God
The last competitive finals 😂
and then jealous old KD joins the warriors...
The best finals ever in NBA history
If you listen to LeBron fan's they'll have you thinking it was just LeBron who led the 3-1 comeback by himself. Kyrie was on 🔥🔥
Cavs**
Uncle Drew is Mr clutch!
What a series. Championship teams have championship players. Can't win a nba a title with one franchise player.
I will miss this, because i really cant see anybody else whos a threat to gsw. This duo was great, and i genuinely hope that kyrie does great on the celtics. People who hold ill will for kyrie for asking to be traded are stupid, because that atleast allows him to build upon his own legacy, instead of being the sidekick. If lebron doesnt hold a grudge for kyrie, what right do others have to be mad about?
The shame of NBA and basketball ... A step-over-green champion
kd ruined the game :v, lbj and kyrie are better than gsw without durant
I miss this tamden 💪🏾👌🏽💖
If LeBron woulda slammed that on Draymond... oh my
This series lebron and kyrie took the gsw hearts from them they knew they weren't gonna beat the Cavs after this thats why they had to add kd to a 73-9 team 😂😂 ion blame i wanna win too kds move was still weak tho could have gone anywhere else and actually competed
I just know that block sounded like a gunshot in the arena lol
Then KD joins the warriors next season and ruined the best rivalry since Celtics -Lakers
Cavs & Warrior's rivalry wasn't even close to being that great of a rivalry.
Can't Call It Rivalry SMH.
Not a Rivalry
Kyrie called lebron greatest player on the planet
This is the fucking help that LeBron has always been wishing, every piece doing his job and a second (or almost at the same level) in charge
back when the league was competitive.
When people say curry is a better pg than kyrie just mention this game and you'll win the debate
7:19 THAT would’ve been dunk of the century bruh!! 😂
Its hard to say bye to this version of #MambaMentality
