This quite literally is the pinnacle of LeBron’s career. He defeated the greatest regular season NBA team of all time, was on the first team to win a finals after being down 3-1, broke the Cleveland Sports Curse, and won Finals MVP, all in one season. As sports analysts have said everything after this is gravy.
he also had more points, assists, rebounds, steals, and blocks than every player in the serious on his team and on the Warriors which has never come even close to happening before.
I'm here like twice a week. This game was just picture perfect. The atmosphere in the arena man, you can just feel it. I can't imagine how great it must have been to actually be there and witness one of the greatest perfomances in the history of the league.
@Cameron Fesser it is competitive? stfu bro everyone knows who is the winner of the finals and its GSW if the cupcake durant wouldn't joined the warriors there would be even greater rivalry between OKC and GSW and also a great finals.now there is no fun of the finals winner is just GSW
@Cameron Fesser for real competited? With who? Gsw are gonna win just like last year ans the year b4 that. Yes it's fun for rest of the NBA to see who's gonna come in 2nd place
Trey777 true, especially the way he played defensively on Klay and Steph. I remember him being a monster on the ball, I never knew he could play defense like that
It will forever be Fuck JR for that bullshit he pulled in game 1 last year 😂 nah he did play very well this series.... but mannnn, what could have been last year
I relive this series every now and then. The warriors may now have become a dynasty but i feel calm and at peace whenever i watch this series. It just makes me happy.
@Samuel Elliott watch the last 3:39 of the game and watch lebron get fouled clearly by Draymond on a drive under about a min and half or so but go on son 😴
This is definitely my favorite series ever. I could watch the Warriors lose over and over again. Kyrie being a video game player. Lebron blocking everybody and especially Steph. Might as well not watch anymore NBA because no season will make me as happy as this one.
Warriors had 2 home games. They won 50+ consecutive games there at one point, yet Lebron still dominated and lead the Cavs averaging 36, 13, 10, 3, and 3 over the comeback. That’s my goat.
Say it louder for the haters. People also never bring up how he scored 8 straight points in game 7 to tie the game, then had the block to prevent the warriors from scoring after both teams went scoreless for like 2 minutes. They Love to hate greatness
@@leultrainstinct406 I mean Kyrie still is the closer. I'm not doubting LeBron in the clutch, I'm a Cavs fan but that 3 was the game sealer. The game was at a standstill, and at that point whoever scored would win the game.
He cheated on his sick wife, divorced her, married the woman he cheated with, and the cut his entire family out of his will except the woman he cheated with
LeBron bringing a championship home against a record-breaking team to win the first franchise title....that would be a perfect fairytale ending right there
@@kingezy6222 he singlehandedly almost beat the warriors that first time tho. once the Cavs won in 2016 they knew if they didn't get help the Cavs would have threepeated
im no lebron fan but being down 3-1 and with back to back 41 point games to force a game 7 much respect. on the other end we have the "mvp" that has yet to show up in these finals....
+A1NovaGaming LeBron leads all stats possible in this series . He's had back to back 40 point games . Lebron is playing better than curry in all aspects of this finals series for the last two years . He knows and shows under the pressure
tbh tho the reason Lebron dominates so much is that no one is the same size as him, which is why he can dominate. nothing against him as he is a motherfuckin beast and has destroyed my Warriors team. I'm just happy their is a game 7!
Well, one of the reasons why he can't go off in these series is that Steph gets into early foul trouble, or hes not shooting. I do see your point of Lebron going great when facing elimination tho.
Lebron went from having 41 pts on 53% from the field to having 41 pts on 59% from the field. I knew Draymond defense was going to be the difference when he came back.
2015 and 2016 Finals are peak NBA competition imo. If Durant never went to the Warriors, the Steph and Lebron rivalry would have been just as legendary as Bird and Magic. To this day I'll always question Steph's inner fire like he had the damn near greatest team of all time already and was willing to make it easy? No one calls Lebron's Heat team one of the greatest of all time but the Warriors were being called that before KD. Just ruined a possible GOAT rivalry.
@@geordiejones5618 well at this time both western and eastern conference were great that year to it was like if your were In the playsoff you had a chance except for Toronto for some odd reason they just couldn’t get out of lebron shadow
say whatever you want: warriors got outplayed in 2 straight clinching games. and if they lose this series, that's a CHOKE. and i don't care how much you hate lebron, there's no disputing his greatness in these finals.
Forget about back to back 40+ and a triple-double in game 7, LBJ is one of the kindest and considerate superstars we will ever get to see. His comments about CS are very touching. RIP CS

Yea.. The moment LeBron would touch Curry out of a pick and roll, he would flop. Varejao threw Shumpert down.. Both of them flopping about like little kids against men..
+Udaat Mittu the blocking foul in the beginning was outrageous tbh. Lebron dipped his shoulder and pushed curry off. I'd flop too if I had to guard Lebron though

The Real MVP LeBron absolutely annihilated the Warriors. He blocked the fuck out of Curry again. LeBron James had 41 points, 8 rebounds, 11 assists, 4 steals, 3 blocks, 3 threes. LeBron was dominant as fuck on defense. The Warriors were 0-7 from three point range when LeBron was guarding them. He's the best defensive player ever! That's right bitches! Kyrie scored 20 points in the first half. Kyrie had 23 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks, 2 threes. The Warriors only scored 11 points in the first quarter. It was 31-11 after the first quarter. Cavs 45 rebounds. Warriors 35 rebounds. Cavs 24 assists. Warriors 19 assists. Cavs 12 steals! Warriors 5 steals. Cavs 7 blocks. Warriors 3 blocks. Cavs 10 turnovers. Warriors 14 turnovers. We beat the Warriors in pretty much every statistical category. You listening Warriors fans? LeBron scored 18 straight points in the 3rd and 4th quarter!! James was a straight KILLER tonight. Tristan had 15 points, 16 rebounds and went 6-6 from the field! Thompson shot a perfect 100% fg! Smith had 14 points, hit 4 threes and had 3 steals. Stop hating on Kevin Love you dumb fucks. I don't care who you are. Love scored 7 points and we needed that 7 points. Curry was fouling like fucking crazy. Curry fouled out because he's mentally weak as fuck. Curry also took that one shot from way outside, most retarded shot ever. Curry's wife and family is full of fucking shit. It's not rigged you dumb fucks. The Warriors shoudn't even be in the finals you dumb fucks. Did you forget about that? Green should have gotten thrown out and then OKC would have easily won that game. Game 7 coming up baby!
I remember losing my mind when that play happened. I was lucky enough to go to this game in CLE and it was maybe one of the loudest crowds I've ever witnessed in person. When JR pulled that no look pass to lebron for the dunk the game was officially decided. They were unstoppable at that moment.
Well if you want to say that games 5-6 were obviously rigged for this game 7, then yeah you have a point. We all know that the Warriors had this series and title in the bag, but of LeBron has to get his way to remain the best player in the game today. Jordan did it back in that '90s era as well. Stern was the reason. The media gave "the greatest player of all time" title to Jordan because let's face magic and bird and isiah were gone by '91(physically ) I know isiah played until '94. But who else was going to stop Jordan?
I will never ever forget about this series and I’m so glad it happened in my lifetime Lol even skipped first half of school that day to watch the ending of game 7
At 6:56 though. The look on LBJ face after he blocked Stephanie curry shot...🤣🤣🤣 Best NBA finals ever. 2016. Thank you LeBron and rest of squad for the championship...
I'll always remember where I was watching this game. You could feel the tension as the Warriors mounted a late comeback and witnessed greatness when Lebron took over in the fourth and forced a record game 7. The best Finals performance I've ever seen.
Smith had some beautiful oops in this game. The timing was crazy on some of those. This was the best Finals ever in my humble opinion. The intensity , the speed, the history, the drama... Craig Sagar .... Yeah. Never gonna get better.
This game shows lebrons total package as a player he threw two pocket passes in this game only a handful of players that ever played can make and he made it look easy, and that going alongside with his athleticism is unmatched.. hes the best player to ever play no doubt.
bro i literally watch the whole 2016 finals series every time i feel down and depressed. It never failed to put a smile on my face and be inspired every time.
It only felt like yesterday I was watching this game live. I loved every moment of this game. There are actual people that leave LeBron out of the top 5 after this finals series smh.
Sithene Kobe’s last season Raptor’s first conference finals appearance Tim Duncan’s last season Warriors winning 73 games Steph winning unanimous MVP, averaging a 50-40-90, leading the league in steals and scoring Cav’s first title Hell of a season for sure.

He defeated the greatest regular season NBA team of all time, was on the first team to win a finals after being down 3-1, broke the Cleveland Sports Curse, and won Finals MVP, all in one season. As sports analysts have said everything after this is gravy.

he also had more points, assists, rebounds, steals, and blocks than every player in the serious on his team and on the Warriors which has never come even close to happening before.
Also was the first player to lead both teams in all 5 major stat categories this series. Best NBA Finals performance of all time.

+BurnInHell98 I love you dude 😂 as a lifelong clevelander, it means a lot.
Best player of all time. Unguardable.
RIP Mr. Craig Sager. His first and only Finals interview was on the teetering moment of history
BLOCK BY JAMES
CLASSIC
Lukito Zoo never gets old 😂😭🤣
Pshhhh!!!
"HATERS BLOCK BY JAMES!"
This is why James hate curry 🍛
The Real MVP LeBron absolutely annihilated the Warriors. He blocked the fuck out of Curry again. LeBron James had 41 points, 8 rebounds, 11 assists, 4 steals, 3 blocks, 3 threes. LeBron was dominant as fuck on defense. The Warriors were 0-7 from three point range when LeBron was guarding them. He's the best defensive player ever! That's right bitches! Kyrie scored 20 points in the first half. Kyrie had 23 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks, 2 threes. The Warriors only scored 11 points in the first quarter. It was 31-11 after the first quarter. Cavs 45 rebounds. Warriors 35 rebounds. Cavs 24 assists. Warriors 19 assists. Cavs 12 steals! Warriors 5 steals. Cavs 7 blocks. Warriors 3 blocks. Cavs 10 turnovers. Warriors 14 turnovers. We beat the Warriors in pretty much every statistical category. You listening Warriors fans? LeBron scored 18 straight points in the 3rd and 4th quarter!! James was a straight KILLER tonight. Tristan had 15 points, 16 rebounds and went 6-6 from the field! Thompson shot a perfect 100% fg! Smith had 14 points, hit 4 threes and had 3 steals. Stop hating on Kevin Love you dumb fucks. I don't care who you are. Love scored 7 points and we needed that 7 points. Curry was fouling like fucking crazy. Curry fouled out because he's mentally weak as fuck. Curry also took that one shot from way outside, most retarded shot ever. Curry's wife and family is full of fucking shit. It's not rigged you dumb fucks. The Warriors shoudn't even be in the finals you dumb fucks. Did you forget about that? Green should have gotten thrown out and then OKC would have easily won that game. Game 7 coming up baby!
also blocked the shit out of Fraudmond
W
I totally support u on that OKC call
I would make curry's mom feel better after game 7 loss...
you are fucking right👍👍👍👍👍👍
I was here at the game....INSANE. Nothing comparable at all..
Nice man, must've been a great game to watch live. Cleveland got a cool fanbase, very energetic lol
JR Smith with a no look alley oop pass in game 6 of a do or die is the most JR Smith thing ever. Hahaha
Man is a goat
I remember losing my mind when that play happened. I was lucky enough to go to this game in CLE and it was maybe one of the loudest crowds I've ever witnessed in person. When JR pulled that no look pass to lebron for the dunk the game was officially decided. They were unstoppable at that moment.
JR also did no look 3 pointers!
So basically, Jr Smith won 2 rings alongside LeBron. 1 with the cavs, 1 with the Lakers.
This was one of the greatest series of all time
If, in Game 7, King James plays like he did yesterday, Cavs are getting themselves a deserved championship
That'd be so amazing to see
Well if you want to say that games 5-6 were obviously rigged for this game 7, then yeah you have a point. We all know that the Warriors had this series and title in the bag, but of LeBron has to get his way to remain the best player in the game today. Jordan did it back in that '90s era as well. Stern was the reason. The media gave "the greatest player of all time" title to Jordan because let's face magic and bird and isiah were gone by '91(physically ) I know isiah played until '94. But who else was going to stop Jordan?
+Tom Miller LeBron gets 50 !!! You heard it here 1st !!! 👍🏆
***** yeah i still do. but u r right, wwe is not the same as it was some years back. its not garbage, but not as great as it used to be
R.I.P. Craig
😢😢😢 LeBron and Kyrie looked much better in Cavs uni
ikr
yeah they did they always had swag too in the cavs mostly kyrie
I want them back
This era was so fun
Yeah
I will never ever forget about this series and I’m so glad it happened in my lifetime
Lol even skipped first half of school that day to watch the ending of game 7
Who else still coming back and watching these amazing final games in 2020
The only way cavs win game 7 is if they score more than the warriors
Better analysis then Steven A Smith
make this guy the new cavs coach.
Andrew Krukemeyer thanks man. i also believe that in order for the warriors to win game 7 they have to score more than the cavs before time runs out.
+Sushi Prince 😂😂😂 and how are they gonna do that? By scoring more than Cleveland by the end of the game
ROFL better then ESPN
At 6:56 though. The look on LBJ face after he blocked Stephanie curry shot...🤣🤣🤣 Best NBA finals ever. 2016. Thank you LeBron and rest of squad for the championship...
Hahaha it was so personal.
Stephanie curry 😂🤣😂
game 6 was so rigged it aint even funny. everybody knows this
@@dylanwatt7461 damn yall still crying been 4 years move on with your life nigga
@@dylanwatt7461 nice joke. Keep crying dude
Remember when GSW fans called us Chokelahoma...☕️🐸
W
OKC next game in October gsw next game Sunday so who choked ☕️🐸
+Chiraq ShortyGloedUp But if y'all lose next game...what's more painful, choking in the conference finals or finals?
+Kussel Destbrook who is y'all Imma heat fan but chokin in the finals but
Ion think they gone loose
Colden State Warriors
that pass from LeBron at 4:09 .... just unreal, he knows where everyone is on the court at all times 🐐
4:17 this pass is insane tho
I also saw him pass like that but I think that was he's a Laker already, against Sacramento with that pass to Avery Bradley knocking the 3
I'll always remember where I was watching this game. You could feel the tension as the Warriors mounted a late comeback and witnessed greatness when Lebron took over in the fourth and forced a record game 7. The best Finals performance I've ever seen.
Smith had some beautiful oops in this game. The timing was crazy on some of those. This was the best Finals ever in my humble opinion. The intensity , the speed, the history, the drama... Craig Sagar .... Yeah. Never gonna get better.
LeBron: Completely destroys Curry & calls him great.
savage
+Ration - Rocket League ironic ain't it
I dont think he would have said that if he lost, bron is always salty when it comes to curry beating him. Facts.
true legend status
yep. that's what mature players do
Whose ready for game 7!
me
I thought you'd never ask! #Letsdoit #GAME7
Oh boy can't wait...!!!!
obviously Stephen A Smith is lol.
hell yeah
It's gr8 to watch such a multi-faceted player take over like that as opposed to watchin a little beige dude run around jackin up shots
Shiiiiiit some little beige dude, I love it lmao
He's Biracial Bitch , Get over it
+Eric Kennedy Lol, how suprising, a white suburban curry fanboy, gtfo your mancrush isn't as versatile as lebron lmfao
+Titan actually I live in the city bro , plus I'm not a fan of either team , I have no dog in this fight
Eric Kennedy Ok, but im just sayin, curry aint as versatile
This game shows lebrons total package as a player he threw two pocket passes in this game only a handful of players that ever played can make and he made it look easy, and that going alongside with his athleticism is unmatched.. hes the best player to ever play no doubt.
rip Craig sager ):
I love the last interview between Lebron n Sager..
He was blatantly complementing curry and the Warriors. But the warriors fans still have hated his guts for the last 8 months.
Because they're not fans but just bandwagons that hate when their superstar team doesn't win everything like they think they should
Rdg 110 yes we do and now China. Who would of thought
jchristopher83 bandwagon
Most Warriors fans aren't Warriors fans. They're just bandwagons that are currently Lakers fans.
Before KD ruined the league
I come here all the time and watch this randomly it’s so satisfying
bro i literally watch the whole 2016 finals series every time i feel down and depressed. It never failed to put a smile on my face and be inspired every time.
Everything about this series is legendary
That 31-9 in the first quarter was hella impressive them boys saw Red.
You gotta come back once a year to watch this master piece 👀☠️
Now you'll never know why I have so many likes.
MUAHAHAHHAA
Lmao Hahaha🤣🤣🤣
Lmmfao
L James can not talk trash to curry
Underrated joke
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😁😁😁😁😁😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
the team with the highest score will win the game on sunday. MARK MY WORDS
holy shit that was deep
why did the Warriors I think it was going to have
I see Steph Curry having a bad game
L
rip cavs
Who keeps on watching....man damn, that was a great finals to witness
Greatest Comeback ever in Sports!!
THIS GAME & SERIES WAS INCREDIBLE

RIP CRAIG

Will forever be the best Crowd I’ve ever seen. GAME 6 2016 FINALS. CLEVELANDDDDD
i remember me watching this highlights everyday for a month
It only felt like yesterday I was watching this game live. I loved every moment of this game. There are actual people that leave LeBron out of the top 5 after this finals series smh.
Tristan Thompson was huge in this game. I loved how hyped he was after every play he made.
The nba will never be the same :(
RIP Craig.. 7:50
Pankskie Panks iw
Pankskie Panks w
I just can’t get over how great this damn game is
This was definitely AT LEAST Top 3 Greatest NBA Finals series ever!
The fans really did stand ALL GAME LONG. Wow
Easily the most hyped Ohio sports event ever and of course its biggest star played like the greatest to ever do it.
Rewatching this right now that crowd was so hot. Cavs run from 2014-2018 was so fun.
The Kardashian curse killed this Tristan Thompson. The guy never played the same again.
Joseph Leon he’s playing great now
2015-2016 was probably one of the greatest NBA seasons ever!
Sithene
Kobe’s last season
Raptor’s first conference finals appearance
Tim Duncan’s last season
Warriors winning 73 games
Steph winning unanimous MVP, averaging a 50-40-90, leading the league in steals and scoring
Cav’s first title
Hell of a season for sure.
Where's the fuckers that laughed at me when I said this is going to a game 7? And the Cavs will win game 7??? Anyone???
never doubt the power of the nba to take it to g7
just good business..gsw set to win b to b
+NunommS lmao LeBron playing 2 40+ games in a row is the NBAs doing? you warrior fans amaze me
Lmao you Warriors "fans" do nothing but complain about refs when you're losing.
How did they win game 7 when they haven't even played it yet?
What a fantastic fathers day present, from growing up in Cleveland and seing this, Awesom
