This matchup is by far the most balanced roster for both teams. Main superstar: Lebron and Steph The second superstar: Kyrie and Klay All star big man: Love and Green KD fucked things up
I see it as kd and lebron, then steph and kyrie, then love and Klay. Kevin love was better than pau gasol ever was. Also green has been exposed to being a system player and that can be matched by a collective effort from a Tristan Thompson or jr Smith. The kd warriors were not unbeatable. Lebron let kd walk into that 3 in game 3 in 2017. He should've played up on him and made him beat him off the dribble. And then Korver missed the corner 3. The Cavs were right there to tying that at 2 each... lebron had a great team and could have beaten them if everything went right. No excuses
I still have hope that if LeBron didn't get hurt, maybe the Lakers beat the warriors in the ECF and play the raptors in the finals. Since KD was hurt in the playoffs I feel like it could have happened.
@@lioninthesun"if everything went right" that's the key phrase. If you wanted to beat that team with KD you need to have a damn near perfect game and that's impossible in a 7 game series. That's why they where unbeatable, just accept it bruh KD fucked the NBA.
The greatest finals performance of all time. Led both teams in all major statistical categories. He along with Kyrie were unstoppable the latter part of the series
Steph Curry The G.O.A.T kd in 2017??? Hahaha and mj beating some bums hell nah so u automatically saying curry is trash so lebron beat nothing not a hofer haha what u want if u say that than curry is trash
Bill 11 Rings Russell KD in 2017 had a better finals performance than LeBron in 2016 How u gonna say MJ played bums and have a Bill Russell fan account? MJ at 38-40 years old was putting up 40 points on Jason Kidd and Shawn Marion. LeChoke was struggling to put more than 8 points on these niggas in his prime, while they were past there prime Bro just change ur name to "LeBron 3 rings James" cause we all know ur ass isn't no Bill Russell fan. You Bronsexuals weird. Y'all go this hard to defend him lol
This is probably the best Finals performance in NBA history. Coming back down 3-1, beating the team the just broke the regular season record for wins 73-9, averaging 30,11,9 with like 2.5 stls and blks, this was something you don't even dream about happening. I don't think anyone was capable doing what he did that year, not even MJ and MJ to me is still the goat, LeBron is just the better all around player.
Curry injured, Draymond suspended, Bogut injured, Iggy injured, Draymond suspended, Curry ejected on purpose in the night he was hot ... Yes great comback
@French # Most Romantic / Beautiful Language Ever so kevin love was a allstar this series lmfaooooo last time I checked he didn't even score 10pts foh u kno u sorry if u leaving with a concussion and shit so gone with that lebron hate why u here tho smh bitches these days
French # Most Romantic / Beautiful Language Ever everyone needs 1 or 2 all stars. dumbass kobe had shaq and gasol. michael jordan had pippen and rodman
King Wani I’m a Lebron fan, but the people saying this shit are retarded. If they got the opportunity to sign the 2nd best player in the world and arguably the best Center why would they pass? Dumb asses.
@Gerald Dunbar how so?. LeBron equaled him in game five with 41. Game 6 he drops 41 again and extended the series to game seven. Game seven he had a triple double, a game tying three and a historic block, he also led all players in every stat on both teams so I'm not sure how Kyrie was more valuable than LeBron when all he did was score. LeBron did everything else and even did Kyrie's job as a point guard. Don't get me wrong, he wouldn't have won without Kyrie but Kyrie was definitely not more valuable.
If any other player had done this, there would be universal acclaim that they're the greatest to ever do it. You would think Kobe had done some shit like Lebron has done the way people talk about him but he never did. The expectations for Lebron are so stupidly above everyone else and honestly it was the same for Jordan during his first few years. The difference is that the NBA and fans wanted Jordan to win as he took over media focus for the whole league but people act like Lebron is weak or impassionate. For me the way people expect so damn much and constantly move the goalpost for what's legendary or not is what makes Lebron the GOAT. He in the mind of every fan all ages and no player will ever have have the bar set higher for them.

Before this no other player had ever made 15+ steals and 15+ blocks in any one series. Lebron almost had 20 in both while leading in everything else. This was some straight up modern Wilt Chamberlain level backpacking.

29.7 points 11.3 rebounds 8.9 assists 2.6 steals 2.3 blocks, this series shows LeBron is the greatest All-Around player of all time and moved him into that top 3 category of all time
@@jans2710 Yep LeBron is the best player of all time without a question. If you are huge into rings and team accomplishments then Jordan is your GOAT. But I think LeBron is the best and most valuable player of all time.
Personally I've always had Kareem as #1 all time but LeBron is hot on his heels. This Finals put him above Jordan no doubt. If LeBron ran the 1, 2, or 4 for those Jordan Bulls, he wins all 6 rings too but Jordan couldn't have won this Finals. That debate is a wrap off this Finals alone.
Because it's the greatest achievement in the history of professional sports. I've been a Cleveland fan since I knew how to walk and talk and I've seen years and years of loss. So to watch this is still so special and I still cry every time when that buzzer sounds and LeBron hit the floor. I have goosebumps right now just thinking about it!
This and Heat vs Spurs 2013 are the two best nba finals I’ve ever seen… Been watching ball since 2000 btw. Not that much but 22 yrs is a lot of exp. Lol
I take 2013 over this one because most of the games we're contested. 2016 had all Blowouts or 10+ point winners except for game 7. But I agree this is a top 5
King Cardinal Murphy no one has every performed the way lebron did in this finals though. i mean look at the dude he literally did everything offensively and defensively. idc if jordan is the goat, this was the best finals finals performance thus far in league history
Not saying it because he passed (bless your soul kobe) But 2010 without question was the best one i seen. Two historic franchises & star power on both ends. Ron hitting that 3? Classic.
Man , i was on the edge of my seat , pacing back and forth , hands on my head in games 5-7......and when bron won , i was so amazed and in aw . I was damn near questioning reality. I almost cried with bron when the buzzer went off........HE IS *THEE* GOAT!! 👑🐐
Also still wish Lebron jammed that shit on Draymond, that alone would have made him the goat lmaoo to give the team 2 points in a crucial spot and posterize that fool for the disrespect it would have been picture perfect.
I'm grateful that I had the pleasure to watch the 2016 finals. I'll never forget me and my father being in disbelief watching the end of game seven. It was a magical comeback and one of most nail biting, competitive, and entertaining championship series of all time in sports history. Being from San Antonio where Lebron is disliked, he still made my family root for him and he gained not only our respect, but everyone's respect around the world when he brought a championship to Cleveland.
One of my favourite series hands down the performances by both but game 5 , 6 and especially game 7 ... Also the Cubs comeback and the Patriots ... Great year in sports...
Greatest and Clutchest Ring in NBA History beating a all-time great 73-9 Larriors superteam with back to back unanimous MVP and 3 all-stars while down 3-1 and winning 2 games including Game 7 in a basically unbeatable arena for the last 4 years pure faxx lol. MJ >> LeBron >> SHaq >> Kobe
Steph Curry The G.O.A.T green out 41 green in 41 it don’t matter it don’t matter btw Curry’s rings mean nothing tho then 2015 kyrie love not hurt they are out they didn’t play unlike curry dumbass 2017 2018 he needed kd to save his ass
LeBron James Beat that Greatest Regular Season Record Team in NBA History by coming back from 3-1 down and I don't want to hear about The Draymond Green Suspension or Stephen Curry not being 100 percent and Andre Iguodala injury and Andrew Bougt missing The last 3 games or Klay Thompson comments cause don't wanna about The 73-9 Warriors Team cause their didn't take The Loss as a Team.
Malcolm Xavier James Gumbs even if Stephen was 100%, you tell there was pressure in that game. You can tell golden state wasn’t taking it too serious until game 7 and curry realized James wasn’t playing after getting blocked and he got mad at him lol. This is recent great history for basketball.
Yep. Steph was playing with an MCL sprain and got worn out by the Thunder, Draymond was suspended in game 5, Andre Iguodala (the guy that held LeBron to 40% shooting in 2015) had back spasms, and Andrew bogut got injured in game 5. If Draymond and Bogut don't go out in game 5, Warriors close in 5 and they cap off the 73 win season. LeBron beat a injured Warriors team. Yes, Draymond came back for 6 & 7 but Cavs had all the momentum. It's like the Supersonics against the 72 win Bulls winning game 6.
This is my favorite finals of all time I’ll never forget game 5. Bron & Kyrie played out their mind. To comeback from 3-1 against a 73-9 team with the 2 greatest shooters ever at their peak i will never forget & is just unheard of. Something we’ll never see again. Lebron would’ve Beaten the warriors in 2017 & 2018 without KD. They had no chance of beating him 4 times in a series ever again. Forever the GOAT 🐐 KING James 👑
This is when the “Goat” conversation ended. He did what no one has ever done and probably something that will never happen again. The man averaged 29.7 ppg 8.9 assist 11.3 rebounds 2.6 steals and 2.3 blocks. The one and only Goat 👑
I think he finished something like 32/12/9/1.5/1.5 against the Warriors in 22 Finals games. The greatest team of all time brought out the best version of the greatest player of all time.
@Inigo Bantok ok so you can see that, even with Draymond who outscored Lebron in game 7,they still lost so its not relevant if he was in game 6 or not. Game 5 = L (with draymond) ,game 6(not draymond) = L , game 7 (with draymond) Big L . Anything else you want to add? Dont make me start with that Lebron led both teams in every category. You already lost this battle...like a Larriors
@tony tonyt Lol a Sidekick doesn't average 28PPG In the reg season, 31ppg in the playoffs, & 24ppg in the FINALS while guarding ALLEN IVERSON 😂😂😂😂 Or 25ppg in the reg season , 26ppg in the playoffs, & 26ppg on 51% in the finals 😂😂😂😂
Thank you for this video. Proof of how Lebron pretty much bullied the warriors into a 4-3 comeback from 3-1. This man is superhuman, training and exercise alone cannot turn you into the physical beast he is. He has special genes, and a special gift
I understand why KD joined. He saw what the Warriors did and what he couldn't do in OKC... then he watched that all time great, new and hot defending championship team just collapse. Him and Steph knew damn well that no matter who battled it out of the west would simple have to face Lebron and they were both shook. And even after winning people still were like "yeah but Lebron was a beast! KD just got the overpowered team" and thats why he bailed on more easy rings. He never got that feeling of being undisputed best because he never was. When the buzzer sounded on this series Lebron did something that no player ever had or ever will again.
To this day, I occasionally come back to this video to watch the most complete brand of basketball an individual has ever played through 7 championship games.
Lebron went to 8 straight finals. We saw him rule for almost a whole decade. That’s why people hate this man so much, they got tired of seeing him in the finals.
KD knew what the rest of the league knew: Lebron was STILL top dog. If he joined any other team or stayed in OKC he might have made it back to the Finals, but these Cavs 3peat no doubt. 2017 and 18 Warriors had two MVPs, a DPOY, an all time two way shooter and FMVP defender. Thats what it took to beat Lebron and they'd have the best chance of beating every other all time team like the 86 Celtics, 01 Lakers, 96 Bulls. I think the 13 Heat and 14 Spurs would give them the most trouble, but they were damn close to going 16-0 in the playoffs.
This was a great finals performance it's just a little above Wade's and dirks run but all of them were magical and I am glad to have witnessed them all in my lifetime
@TWICE Go Bruh that was by far the dumbest comment ive seen in a while... KD stopped him with CURRY and KLAY by his side on a team that broke MJ's bulls 72 win record WITHOUT him even on it yet ... go to sleep
I watched jordan for 9 years . Watched kobes entire career . And this was and is the signal greatest finals performance there has ever been. This warriors team was supposed to be unbeatable. Only lost 9 times out of 82 games all year yet the Cavs beat them 4 times out of 7. Lebron leads both teams in points assists steals rebounds blocks . Its just super human what he did. Kyrie came through. Love came through. Role players like jr and Jefferson made big plays but the come back was anchored on lebron's shoulders
My 3 wishes in the nba: 1. Kyrie irving and Kevin love not getting injured in the 2015 playoffs. 2. Kyrie never left Cleveland. 3. Durant never went to Golden State.
James bodied the warriors defense😯. That long distance alley hoop from Jr to Lebron at 22:36 was remarkable wow 🔥! James chase down block on curry at 17:53 was crazy!! But had not 1 but 2 chase down blocks!
I love mike Breen, you can tell he really loves watching lebron play. Absolutely amazing performance from lebron kyrie and love this series. Hopefully lebron gets another with the lakers too!
The greatest championship game ever played in NBA history. U r 100% right Lebron James, when God Almighty says YES nobody, i mean absolutely nobody can say NO. U r truely chosen and ordained for this. Just an only child of his mother, that made his mother proud worldwide and also made her mother of grandchildren from him, around him, and all over the world hmmmmmm u r truly the greatest of all time. Remember haters GOD ALMIGHTY has d final say to all our lives. Bless u all Amen .......Love
This was my favorite season as well as the greatest NBA season I have ever witnessed. Kobe 60 point retirement game, Warriors break the record 73-9, Cavs come back down 3-1 to win the title.
This matchup is by far the most balanced roster for both teams.
Main superstar: Lebron and Steph
The second superstar: Kyrie and Klay
All star big man: Love and Green
KD fucked things up

Luckiest ring of all time, benefiting from the Draymond Green's suspension and from Curry's and Iguodala's injuries.
Lol this is the series that made me realize how fake the NBA is. That comment shows how bogus the whole series was.
LeBron James Beat that Greatest Regular Season Record Team in NBA History by coming back from 3-1 down and I don't want to hear about The Draymond Green Suspension or Stephen Curry not being 100 percent and Andre Iguodala injury and Andrew Bougt missing The last 3 games or Klay Thompson comments cause don't wanna about The 73-9 Warriors Team cause their didn't take The Loss as a Team.
Malcolm Xavier James Gumbs even if Stephen was 100%, you tell there was pressure in that game. You can tell golden state wasn’t taking it too serious until game 7 and curry realized James wasn’t playing after getting blocked and he got mad at him lol. This is recent great history for basketball.
Yep. Steph was playing with an MCL sprain and got worn out by the Thunder, Draymond was suspended in game 5, Andre Iguodala (the guy that held LeBron to 40% shooting in 2015) had back spasms, and Andrew bogut got injured in game 5. If Draymond and Bogut don't go out in game 5, Warriors close in 5 and they cap off the 73 win season. LeBron beat a injured Warriors team. Yes, Draymond came back for 6 & 7 but Cavs had all the momentum. It's like the Supersonics against the 72 win Bulls winning game 6.
@@darth2312 cry harder 2015 cavs were injured too if u wanna use the injury excuse
House of Highlights now you need to upload Lebron James 2015 NBA Finals full series highlights immediately
This is my favorite finals of all time I’ll never forget game 5. Bron & Kyrie played out their mind. To comeback from 3-1 against a 73-9 team with the 2 greatest shooters ever at their peak i will never forget & is just unheard of. Something we’ll never see again. Lebron would’ve Beaten the warriors in 2017 & 2018 without KD. They had no chance of beating him 4 times in a series ever again. Forever the GOAT 🐐 KING James 👑
"OOOOH, BLOCKED BY JAMES, LEBRON JAMES WITH THE REJECTION" #ITSGOATJAMESSKIIUP
Congrats
The most legendary finals ever. ♥
Can we talk about how amazing Tristan Thompson was in game 6 tho!!
I still get goosebumps watching this. Legendary stuff.
I still get emotional watching this. He worked his ass off to bring a ring home. King James!!!
I ain't from Cleveland but i cried with the city and bron when the slayed Golden State!
Thats dope bro
This is when the “Goat” conversation ended. He did what no one has ever done and probably something that will never happen again. The man averaged 29.7 ppg 8.9 assist 11.3 rebounds 2.6 steals and 2.3 blocks. The one and only Goat 👑
I think he finished something like 32/12/9/1.5/1.5 against the Warriors in 22 Finals games. The greatest team of all time brought out the best version of the greatest player of all time.
🐐 🐐 LEGOAT get that 4th 🏆 💪💪💪💪
First he has to make the Playoffs in the hard West 😂

Right! I was like wtf😂
@Juwan Taylor hater
@Juwan Taylor haha, what about the times when GSW wins their game with the help of referees everytime, you are nothing but a certified LeBron hater
@@rohan_3128 they’re talking about in the video when after game 5 they skip to game 7 😂😂
Just waiting on Kyrie save Lebron comments or it’s rigged cause draymond got suspended 1 game
thats stupidest excuse made by Larriors fans....draymond was in game 7 and we can see what happened...they LOST muhehehehehehehe
aoihgadnlgago lmao Larriors? 3 rings isn’t an L to me. Fuck Golden State, but they have the Greatest Team of All Time
Kyrie saved LeBron legacy...there I said it
we talking about this series ....not last 4 years....for me blewing a 3-1 lead IN FINALS is typical gigantic ass turbo motherfucking L
@Inigo Bantok ok so you can see that, even with Draymond who outscored Lebron in game 7,they still lost so its not relevant if he was in game 6 or not. Game 5 = L (with draymond) ,game 6(not draymond) = L , game 7 (with draymond) Big L . Anything else you want to add? Dont make me start with that Lebron led both teams in every category. You already lost this battle...like a Larriors

Lol a Sidekick doesn't average 28PPG In the reg season, 31ppg in the playoffs, & 24ppg in the FINALS while guarding ALLEN IVERSON 😂😂😂😂
Or 25ppg in the reg season , 26ppg in the playoffs, & 26ppg on 51% in the finals 😂😂😂😂
Best finals series ever. this was peak NBA. LeBron might not be goat yet but he is damn sure #2 easily
Thank you for this video. Proof of how Lebron pretty much bullied the warriors into a 4-3 comeback from 3-1. This man is superhuman, training and exercise alone cannot turn you into the physical beast he is. He has special genes, and a special gift
When lebron activates the “over my dead body” mode. He’s the greatest to ever step on the court.
2:44 When you realize warrior fans don't know what pivot means.
I’ll never forget where I was watching that game 7…. The block off the glass had me and the boys going CRAZY
I understand why KD joined. He saw what the Warriors did and what he couldn't do in OKC... then he watched that all time great, new and hot defending championship team just collapse. Him and Steph knew damn well that no matter who battled it out of the west would simple have to face Lebron and they were both shook. And even after winning people still were like "yeah but Lebron was a beast! KD just got the overpowered team" and thats why he bailed on more easy rings. He never got that feeling of being undisputed best because he never was. When the buzzer sounded on this series Lebron did something that no player ever had or ever will again.
I hope we get a 30 for 30 about this series one day. The best playoff series hands ever hands down.
No other all-time great has beaten a team this good and that’s the God honest truth!!!LBJ TRUE GOAT!
To this day, I occasionally come back to this video to watch the most complete brand of basketball an individual has ever played through 7 championship games.
Lebron went to 8 straight finals. We saw him rule for almost a whole decade. That’s why people hate this man so much, they got tired of seeing him in the finals.
This would’ve been his fourth if kyrie and love didn’t get injured
5th** :)
or 5th if they didn't choked against the Mavs, dark time.
The Greatest comeback in sports history. Lebron James is the GOAT 🐐
I would’ve been fine if this continued for years if KD hadn’t joined
Me too bro
Facts. KD should've went elsewhere (like he did eventually anyway)
KD knew what the rest of the league knew: Lebron was STILL top dog. If he joined any other team or stayed in OKC he might have made it back to the Finals, but these Cavs 3peat no doubt. 2017 and 18 Warriors had two MVPs, a DPOY, an all time two way shooter and FMVP defender. Thats what it took to beat Lebron and they'd have the best chance of beating every other all time team like the 86 Celtics, 01 Lakers, 96 Bulls. I think the 13 Heat and 14 Spurs would give them the most trouble, but they were damn close to going 16-0 in the playoffs.
This was a great finals performance it's just a little above Wade's and dirks run but all of them were magical and I am glad to have witnessed them all in my lifetime
EPIC COMEBACK BY THE CAVALIERS....
GOAT 🐐🐐🐐
Man, that game 7 day was good day
When LeBron actually tries, I do not think there is anyone that can stop him.
@CLOAK TV yeah he sure stopped him while LeBron averaged a 35 point triple double
@TWICE Go Bruh that was by far the dumbest comment ive seen in a while... KD stopped him with CURRY and KLAY by his side on a team that broke MJ's bulls 72 win record WITHOUT him even on it yet ... go to sleep
So happy for Mo Williams too!
Irving really looks good in a cavs jersey
2024, We Still Witnessing Greatness
I Had 2 Come Back 2 History.
I watched jordan for 9 years . Watched kobes entire career . And this was and is the signal greatest finals performance there has ever been. This warriors team was supposed to be unbeatable. Only lost 9 times out of 82 games all year yet the Cavs beat them 4 times out of 7. Lebron leads both teams in points assists steals rebounds blocks . Its just super human what he did. Kyrie came through. Love came through. Role players like jr and Jefferson made big plays but the come back was anchored on lebron's shoulders
Bron prime UNSTOPPABLE 🔥🔥🔥
Still watching 💪💪💪 August 14, 2022
This is easily by far easily the greatest finals performance by a player ever and it's just really not close.. Kudos to the king and goat LBJ
Who rewatching this masterpiece during quarantine?
Getting ready for finals 🙏🏿
Hopefully he gets the lakers there
@@ch_rlieb03 just checking in to say... *LET'S GOOOOO*
And from this moment forward golden state knew they couldn't beat lebron so they got KD.
fax should have won in 2015 but love kyrie got injured and still went game 6 with lebron avg 38 8 7 now that's a goat
True sir cavs much better in 2015
Best FMVP ever 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I miss Lebron so much, love to watch this man play basketball. Ther's no one like him.
"Momma call em clay I'ma call him dunked on " commentary at it's best
Respect to Varejao, he was traded in 2016 from the Cavs, picked up from gsw and went ringless lol
That's some _cheeeeese!_ 😭😭😭
That game down 3-1 might be best performance I ever seen he was doing work on both sides of the ball
Let's be honest.....
This was the last exciting Finals we've seen so far.
Andrew Bristow Raps warriors was ok
2019 was good.
Whenever I'm in my feelings, I come here and watch this for motivation
My 3 wishes in the nba:
1. Kyrie irving and Kevin love not getting injured in the 2015 playoffs.
2. Kyrie never left Cleveland.
3. Durant never went to Golden State.
@Thomas Sankara that's straight facts.
fuckng delusional HAHAHHA
Cavs would literally go on a 4 peat
That sounds like a 4peat lol. They way Lebron plaged 2015-18 in the playoffs was just beyond insane.
In 4 Year Encounter Warriors 3 Cavs 1,You're So Fucking Delusional What 4 PEAT Are You Saying!?😆😅🤣.
Warriors 3 Cavs 1 End Of Discussion 👎.
This is the championship that made James great. ...Cleveland..this is 4u(them words had me crying)
James bodied the warriors defense😯. That long distance alley hoop from Jr to Lebron at 22:36 was remarkable wow 🔥!
James chase down block on curry at 17:53 was crazy!! But had not 1 but 2 chase down blocks!
2024?
I remember watching this game at my friends crib and when lebron got that block and kyrie hit that shot I started flipping crazy yo
You are my sunshine my only sunshine… you make me happy… when sky’s are grey…
The best Finals ever in history.....
i swear this moment is never enough !
If lebron played like this in the regular season trust he'd be win the mvp all the time..no doubt
I love mike Breen, you can tell he really loves watching lebron play. Absolutely amazing performance from lebron kyrie and love this series. Hopefully lebron gets another with the lakers too!
Truly the GOAT
People say lebron cries too much but he kept his promise to his hometown and his hardwork paid off
The greatest championship game ever played in NBA history. U r 100% right Lebron James, when God Almighty says YES nobody, i mean absolutely nobody can say NO. U r truely chosen and ordained for this. Just an only child of his mother, that made his mother proud worldwide and also made her mother of grandchildren from him, around him, and all over the world hmmmmmm u r truly the greatest of all time. Remember haters GOD ALMIGHTY has d final say to all our lives. Bless u all Amen .......Love
Lol, that twist of an ankle after the block on curry. He is a beast
if LeBron tried he could've won 70 games too, but you know Bron has an entire new personality when playoffs start.
This was my favorite season as well as the greatest NBA season I have ever witnessed. Kobe 60 point retirement game, Warriors break the record 73-9, Cavs come back down 3-1 to win the title.
Who else comes back here for motivation??
This made lebron James a legend
