Back when lebron is starting its always lebron chasing jordan now the new generation is like who will be the next lebron james most dominant player in nba.
I’m a grown ass man and cried when this happened. As a huge LeBron fan I was just so overcome with emotion. Coming back down 3-1 to beat a 73-9 team. This man is incredible.
While Thompson and Curry went to the locker room, Draymond Green stayed to congratulate lebron. By far the highest level of respect and class ive ever seen from him.
I know that when they win lebron will definitely be emotional, what i didn't know is that i too will be emotional tears really came out if you been a lebron fan you will know what he had to go through to get that ring for his home team..
As much as people say dirk earned his title bla bla bla LeBron sorta did too ...he won with the team that drafted him...for his 3rd ring...I like dirk but he hurt his legacy by staying in Dallas so long..1 playoff series win besides 2011 since 2006...think about that ...that finals almost ruined his legacy cause if he never had the 2011 run man he would be known as a choker with only 9 play off series wins...dudes 13-15 in playoff series regardless
Everyone can debate whether he's better than MJ and all that stuff all they want, but i'm not gonna get into that. But I will say, this has to be the single greatest achievement in basketball. Down 3-1 to a 73-9 team with the greatest shooter in NBA history, and storming back with back to back 40 point games, triple doubles left and right, leading all players in basically every statistical category? I am a Kobe fan and a Laker fan, but I will not deny greatness. So congrats to Lebron, and thank you for saving the NBA from Curry, the Nutcracker, and their bandwagon nation. If nothing else, Lebron and the Cavs should at least be appreciated for that.
Warrior are gonna pursue Kevin Durant. It's reported that Kevin Durant is interested of joining the Golden State Warriors. lol, Bangwagon still gets another chance.
Not to mention he did all of what u said with a sub par supporting cast. Kevin Love basically a no show all finals. JR smith got hot occasionally for 1 or 2 quarters. And everyone else just passed to Lebron lol only him and Kyrie showed up. So it was 2 on 8 basically.
This is forever my favorite finals. You guys just don't understand how amazing this title was for Cleveland to had pulled it out... -In the regular season, Cavs lost to this team on Christmas day, and the Warriors blew them out the water in the second game. If you remember, Golden State started the season like 25-0 or something, sorry I can't remember and the Cavs throughout the whole season were struggling to manage a balance and had their ups and downs. -I loved this postseason so much because it forever proves that regular season does not matter, at all. The only thing that really matters is seeding. -The odds on Cavs winning this series was so not in their favor. If I can remember correctly, it was like a 20% to 30% chance of winning. -Cleveland hasn't had a title in 52 years. -The Warriors have the best regular season in NBA history, second best home court, coach of the year, unanimous MVP who made 400 threes in a season, record for most 3s in a season. -Cavs were the severe underdogs, everybody was saying Warriors in 5, Warriors in 6 etc. Me personally I predicted a finals rematch but in the beginning of the season I said GS in 6, but then i think a few months later I changed it to Cavs in 6 becuase I just knew LeBron was gonna somehow get his revenge I didn't know how they would do it though. -The Cavs LOSE the first 2 games, and both of them were pretty much blowouts, most people had Cavs getting swept, except for me. -Cavs win game 3, but in game 4 LeBron didn't play his best and was apparently the "cause" of Green's suspension, and almost everybody hated LeBron after game 4. -I was praying to God for the Cavs to win game 5 somehow someway because I wanted all the haters to shut up. Thompson started talking shit, Green talked shit, and the world hated LeBron so for the Cavs to win game 5 never have I been so happy. Game 5 to me was more of an impressive win than game 7, just my opinion. I still can't believe they won game 5. -BTW MOST people had Golden State closing out the series whether it was game 5, 6 or 7, they didn't care, everyone doubted the Cavs. -LeBron comes back again with another 40 point game in game 6. His confidence level just skyrocketed out of nowhere and nobody could stop him in the last 3 games. -And lastly, game 7, people don't realize that Golden State coming back from 3-1 wasn't really that impressive since all they had to do was win their 2 home games and then just win 1 on the road like they should had already. The Cavs however, had to win 2 games on the road in a row, and 1 at home. They freaking shut Curry down this series too. With about 3 minutes to go it was anybody's game and for the Cavs to had been able to pull of off still is impressive. -Finally, LeBron has forever been put in the top 5 greatest players of all time just because of this finals. And has always been the best player in the world. -I still can't believe the Cavs won this series. They had all the odds against them, but they did it.
The Cavs have never been to the NBA Finals before LeBron James came to that organization, let alone win a title.The Cavs owner Dan Gilbert should be extremely thankful that LeBron came back to that organization and he owes him the deepest of apologies for how he treated LeBron when he left for Miami.
Why do people like you not look at both sides equally? LeBron bolted Cleveland in just about the most unprofessional manner possible. LEBRON disgraced the team that night by keeping it a secret and making into a show on national TV. I am a Cavs fan for over 20 years now and Dan Gilbert spoke exactly what everyone in Cleveland was thinking. LeBron showed ZERO respect for what he left behind. Why shouldn't Dan Gilbert be mad? He catered to LeBron James. The only thing you know is what happened after the show.
+JSSTyger I agree that Lebron handled it poorly. Big Dan wouldn't have ripped Lebron if Lebron held a press conference in Cleveland and was honest about how he felt. +Mikki Farmer That said, Lebron should also be thankful that Big Dan welcomed him back with open arms.
Mach68 I mean, look at how Pat Riley has had to completely bite his tongue to avoid being a hypocrite. LeBron did things that simply made him irate. I was told LeBron would request the Miami team spend the night in Cleveland when they played there. Spoelstra would tell Riley and Riley would explode. It was like catering to a newborn. LeBron is one of the greatest athletes ever, but has the emotional state of a child.
You are pulling that 'staying in Cleveland' incident completely out of context. Lebron only offered to have the team stay over in Cleveland on 2013 Thanksgiving, where he invited the WHOLE TEAM to stay one night for Thanksgiving dinner, otherwise the team would have to spend Thanksgiving in a Toronto hotel. Seems like a decent reason to me. Sources: theundefeated.com/features/lebron-james-and-the-battle-with-two-presidents/ www.cbssports.com/nba/news/maverick-carter-takes-issue-with-phil-jacksons-comments-about-lebron-james/ And I would have no problem with Lebron disgracing/insulting/degrading the Cavaliers organization. It is pretty clear to me that before Lebron came back, the Cavs were COMPLETELY dysfunctional. After Lebron left, they went from a 61 win team to 19 wins. Even by the 13.14, they still only had 30-ish wins. They even drafted Anthony Bennett 1st overall. Kyrie was a no-brainer, and that draft pick was the only thing that they did right. Lebron practically runs the entire organization for Gilbert now, effectively rebuilding the team by making the Shumpert/J. R. Smith go through and also attracting Love to sign with the Cavs. He also installed a new culture within the organization At least 90% of their recent success is the results of his work. On the other hand, Gilbert has done nothing significant to contribute to the team. Why would anyone defend such an incompetent manager?
wow, props to the guy clapping in the background wearing the Warriors jersey at 5:42 who stuck around to see LeBron get his trophy and congratulate him. that's a classy move in a sea of unclassy fans.
i mean you have to, even if he hate lebron, coming back 3-1 to the greatest team possibly ever to bring a chip back home to cleveland?? like that's a fucking disney channel sports movie from the 90's lol
Ryan Chen when the warriors won in 2015 that was their first championship in 43 years. The real fans from Oakland know how LeBron feels that’s why they gave him a standing ovation.
I love hearing Mike Breen's call when the final buzzer sounded. He seemed genuinely happy for the Cavs and the fans of Cleveland finally got a chance to experience a championship after a 52-year drought, and also see a team make history by overcoming a 3-1 deficit in The Finals.
Lmfao like they need anything though they have Curry, KD, Klay, one-sided refs and a voodoo doll that injures the best players on the most threatening teams to them, but this is still hilarious
50 years from now, it’ll still be one of the most amazing finals ever! I don’t know if we’ll ever have this many narratives in one year again. 73-9 team, 3-1, unanimous MVP, 52 year drought, lost the year before, Lebron coming back to his hometown team to deliver a title. It’s like a movie, except this shit was too good to possibly make up!
That gray in LeBron's beard is the truest testament to the weight he's carried for the city of Cleveland. You don't get gray hairs at the age of 31, without some real pressure. Similar to how many Presidents are almost completely-grayed by the end of their stressful presidency, LeBron's carried his administration, if you will, for a long time. Since he was 17 years old, when you think about it. Can you imagine that? Carry an entire city's expectations for over 13 years, all your adult life. Perhaps even longer, since some in Cleveland watched him grow up as a prodigy in school, waiting for his growth with longing eyes.
By the way, while it's certainly easy to dismiss most GSW fans as "bandwagon," and probably to a large degree they are, but some of those folks simply aren't. GSW has had a loyal fan base before the swollen numbers and heightened interest surrounding Golden State. You have to account for some of them being true-blue longtime fans who themselves likewise experienced decades-long drought in sports before last year, and some just being folks who respect what greatness these Warriors have proven themselves to be. Because the Warriors lost, not because they're not great, but because they got a bit too comfortable being great and greatly underestimated other greatness. That's sorta' a good problem to have, moving forward. They can fix that problem, and losing takes care of half if it. Losing taught them respect. Losing will mature this Warriors team for the better, I think. Also, I'll point out that even among the general crowd, bandwagon fans or not, there were quite a number of folks in GSW jerseys giving LeBron and the Cavs a hand, as a show of sportsmanship. Sometimes, one just has to respect greatness when they see it.--esp. in such historical fashion. You wouldn't see that kind of behavior in, say, Madison Square Garden. I also liked seeing the number of GSW fans greeting their team after the loss. They know the Warriors are still a formidable team, and true fans are born through how you support your team during loss (esp. one as huge as this one). Even the Warriors didn't seem to take the loss as hard as you'd think, probably because it hadn't sank in yet at that point, but also probably in part because they know they'll see next year, with humbled but hungry again, and fans will be ready to support them. I rooted for the Cavs, and I congratulate them. But I just wanted to give a bit of respect to GSW and their fan base, just for showing some sportsmanship about their loss. I look forward to another great season of NBA basketball--one probably even more exciting than this year.
so true bro this my first time seeing lebron with grey hair it's weird bt I'm glad he got his for his city the guy has been under so much pressure for years I mean even as a 17 yr old kid this man is truly great I hope now that he got his chip his stress level can go down and he can play truly free that's gonna b exciting to watch he also has most of these guys returning next can we think repeat
That's respectable, I can give props to TRUE Warriors fans, it's the band wagoners who just wanted to see Lebron lose that I was tap dancing on their heads when the Cavs won and loved every minute of it xD
I said that earlier this week on facebook, I got them going for 2 in a row, let Golden State lose with Durant on the squad & they'll be a laughing stock LMAOOO
This season we've witnessed 3 historical teams: Best regular season team ever (Warriors) Best regular season home team ever (Spurs) First team to overcome a 3-1 deficit in the Finals (Cavs) Forget the hatred and be thankful for what we've lived this year.
As a Clevelander, this was the greatest day of my life as a sports fan. You can tell how much this meant that you could hear the emotion in Doris Burke's voice just waiting to get that first answer out of James, seeing him hugging Irving with tears in his eyes. She was trying to hold it back too.
Yep a smart analyst would understand that rings are ultimately TEAM accomplishments. A great individual player can win no rings but still have a spectacular career.
+ChauNyan Kevin Durant is a soft ass bitch lookin for the easy way for a ring since his sorry ass couldn't do it with Westbrook whooping his ass night in and night out
Rest in peace Nick Gilbert. Watching you celebrate made Cleveland proud. So happy that the Cavs won while you were able to enjoy it also. Condolences to his mom dad sister and brothers.
LeBron James Led Both Teams In Points Rebounds Assists Steals and Blocks And Became The First Player To Do it in a 7 Game Series and First To Do it in a 7 Game Series in NBA Finals History.
The man beat the 73-9 Warriors that everyone was saying was THE greatest team ever. He took them to 7, had a triple double and beat them. He has the right to say he feels like he’s the greatest player ever, you don’t have to agree with him but he has earned the right to say it. I was born in 1980 so I grew up with watching Michael and I still believe Michael is better than EVERYONE but even I have to acknowledge the greatness of LeBron James.
I was born in 1988 so I grew up with the Jordan-Pippen era in my early childhood and the Shaq-Kobe era in my teens. So MJ is my number 1 and Kobe is number 2 but watching this a couple years back I respect Lebron alot more that chasedown block sealed everything 💯
Warriors didn't have Bogut and Draymond for 2 of their losses, you could also say. The only real reason the cavs won is because of the hunger for revenge. Which is why I advise bandwagons to stay spurs and warriors fans, both teams have a job to do that was supposed to happen this year. They coming
Bogut hardly played any minutes LOL. Also they had draymond in games 6 and 7 and they still didn't pull it off. They also had a chance in game 5, the game was super close even though Green was suspended but they still couldn't do it. Face it the warriors lost to a better team.
It was only the fckn haters that wanted to picture LBJ as a villain. This is the sweetest victory in the history of CLE, & Cavs Mgt will never be able to pay him enough for what he sacrificed to do for this city that he loves so much !!!
The Chosen One King James became the first player in NBA history to lead the Finals in points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks. Obvious G.O.A.T. LeBron is the most clutch player of all time and Curry is the biggest choke artist of all time. LeBron had the greatest finals of all time and Curry had the worst finals of all time. LeBron blocked Curry again in game 7 and LeBron was talking that shit getting into Curry's head. LeBron made Curry his bitch. James outplayed the entire Warriors team and Kyrie outplayed Curry.
NBA history making year for the 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers! Being live to witness greatness with my own eyes will forever be one of my best memories in my lifetime!
I don’t want to hear shit about Bogut being injured. Last year Golden State didn’t have to face one starting point guard through the entire playoffs. The one game they did, they gave up 22 points to a hobbled Mike Conley. Also, in the finals against Cleveland, it took them six ‘CLOSE’ games to beat one man (Lebron). If Golden State gets full credit for last year’s championship without any negative caveats, then don’t throw shade at Cleveland for their victory.
I am a LeBron fan. When he was in Miami, I moved to miami with him and when he came to cleveland, I bolted from miami. LeBron is great and I am happy he's done it again without the help of any big players. He changed an entire team just like he did in miami, This is Epic and I am proud to be a lebron fan(cavs)
And you "Heat fans" wondered why we all called you the worst bandwagon fan base ever. If Lebron went back to Miami would you be #HeatNation again? Lmfao
73-9 up 3-1 ...lose game 5 and 7 at home and lose game 7 by 4 without scoring for 4 minutes as the best offense ever only team to lose a 3-1 lead in the finals... and the cavs didnt score either for 4 minutes besides 1 shot lol...essentially because lebron and kyrie killed you lol....the cavs team sucked most of this series and they had no bench lol...jr smith tristain thompson old slow richard jefferson lebron kyrie and iman shumpert and half of kevin love beat the best team ever lol...what a joke....7 guys 3 of whom cant shoot beat a 73 win team lol...and lebron didnt even shoot well...you still lost at home lol
Nah. Completely different things. 49 was a play that seemed wide open but Malcolm Butler, who didn't exist before that game btw, made a historic play to shut it down. Golden State just got exposed in the last 14 games of the postseason.
One had to live in Cleveland to understand the magnitude of this win. 52 years without winning a championship in any pro-sports team can be very frustrating. Not to mention humiliating.
Kyrie deserved special shout out for this championship too...Management always mention James but Irving has been terrific for this historic comeback....
I watched this entire game and I was on the edge of my seat at the end. Lebron finally did what nobody since Jim Brown could do: bring a championship to the city of Cleveland. Well deserved and what a series that was!
Who's here after the Lakers won the chip... This one right here vs The Warriors was the best title to me. Just look at the emotions. I still tear up everytime I watch his interview with Doris Burke. I still tear up seeing him collapse on the ground full of emotion.
Kara Sashanna Signar I do too. one day i want it to be me up there on that stage. i was born and raised in cleveland and ive been a cavs fan all my life. it ment so much to me that we won and i hope to do it again next year.
Shock _Games It will happen, keep the faith. I'm sure Lebron, Kyrie and the rest of the Cavs will use this year's loss as a motivation and they will bounce back stronger and better. 👊🏆
*I've Missed more than 9,000 Shots in my career.* *I've Lost 300 Games* *26 Times I've Been Trusted to take The Game-Winning Shot and Missed* *I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.* *- Michael Jordan* *Congratulation Lebron You finally did it !!!* *At long last The King Finally Regained his Throne*
I'm from the Akron, OH area and the same age as him, and I remember in high school people were already freaking out about how great he was going to be. Northeast Ohio will never forget the pride and happiness he brought to us, even if he leaves the Cavs again (which I hope he does not!).
I won't be surprise if they make a movie about Lebron some day... The most hyped up HS kid ever... SI naming him the Chosen One as a teenager. Saying he will be the next big thing. Grew up with no father, by a single mother. Odds were stacked against him... To actually come in the NBA from day 1, and never took time off on wrecking the league. left the city to win titles somewhere else, then just to come back after and promised that he will bring a title to Cleveland that noone has done in more than 50+ years... To actually do it and deliver it... Man what a story!
+LDBrock 729 all you niggas who say dumb shit about him being arrogant I bet you still think Jordan bird and magic are great right? All those players and many more were 100 times more arrogant than James. LeBron is confident, not arrogant, he knows he's the best player in the league and has been for 13 years. He has the right to be confident.
+Karanvir Gosal you know MJ and Kobe were 100x more arrogant and cocky than LeBron will ever be. Who gives a fuck about attitude when you winning rings
I'm a Miami Heat fan, I liked LeBron when he was on the team, but when he left I hated him. I honestly hoped he never won a title in Cleveland, but this year as I saw the Warriors dominate, and the Cavs were pushed through obstacles and looked to have no chance, but I saw LeBron through that, I started to hate him less and like him more and more. When he went down 3-1 I saw the passion in his eyes, he's not MJ, Kobe, or Kareem, but he's a god damn legend, he's driven to do the impossible, and he did the impossible. He came back 3-1 to the greatest regular season team ever while playing on a Cleveland sports team. He just moved into the top 3 all time right behind MJ and Kobe.
i use to hate lebron but after wat he did coming back down from 3-1 i cant do nothing but give him props (no im not a Cleveland now)but much respect to him and congratulations
Anastacio Calimag Jr better at basketball and is gonna beat him this year he shoots better from 3, mid and ft, and is a much better defender and is 2-1 against him
Just watching this gives me chills I was 16 watching this in the living room explaining to my grandma what had just happened historical nostalgic moment
I know right!? I was born and raised in Tampa, Florida and I'll always respect Lebron for 2 championships and 4 Finals appearances in my home state, and damn it feels good to see him bring one to his home.
Oh wow what a diehard fan you are lmao. Further proof #HeatNation didn't exist before 2011 and only lasted till Lebron went back to Cleveland. You bandwagoners make me sick.
That shit made me emotional and that's cause I don't like Lebron when he left to Miami. You can tell this championship means the most to him. Glad he finally accomplished what he set out since coming in the league.
Much love to the 2016 champs. Great team, well coached. Lead by one of the GREATEST LeBron James. I love the young man drive and heart. One of the top 5 GREATEST players.
once in a lifetime type of player, there will never be another LeBron james. appreciate him while u can, we are all witnesses.
Zion Williamson joined na group.
@@sirpowsalud3616 then he left nigga ain't Lebron

Back when lebron is starting its always lebron chasing jordan now the new generation is like who will be the next lebron james most dominant player in nba.

I’m a grown ass man and cried when this happened. As a huge LeBron fan I was just so overcome with emotion. Coming back down 3-1 to beat a 73-9 team. This man is incredible.
I was one of the happiest man on earth when this happened, greatest birthday gift ever plus the money I won on bet!
That was the best moment I have ever experienced as a LeBron fan 🫡🤝 he’s the goat 🐐
Lebron is the goat 🐐 true legend
While Thompson and Curry went to the locker room, Draymond Green stayed to congratulate lebron. By far the highest level of respect and class ive ever seen from him.
I was mistaken, Curry did congratulate Kyrie, but still got a lot of respect for Draymond for that move.
Guess Klay got his feelings hurt.
Draymond and bron are boys
Draymond is the man you love to hate. Can’t deny his relentless passion
Draymond was the best for GSW
"the Man above don't put you in situation that you can't
handle"..
well deserved championship.. Don't hate and just appreciate greatness..
Ella lotzgesell
Who else cried? I wanna know I'm not alone! Not even a Cavs fan but it was so emotional seeing LeBron finally bring a chip to his city
Check out my most recent video
my cousin made fun of me for tearing up, you're not alone bud
I did.... seeing how LeBron cried so hard choke me up!
I know that when they win lebron will definitely be emotional, what i didn't know is that i too will be emotional tears really came out if you been a lebron fan you will know what he had to go through to get that ring for his home team..
I cried..., when I saw all those fine looking warrior ladies weeping😭😭😭
I'm happy for LeBron and Cleveland, they waited so long
Me too. I'm not happy for Dan Gilbert though.
#GenerationButtHurt guy right here

As much as people say dirk earned his title bla bla bla LeBron sorta did too ...he won with the team that drafted him...for his 3rd ring...I like dirk but he hurt his legacy by staying in Dallas so long..1 playoff series win besides 2011 since 2006...think about that ...that finals almost ruined his legacy cause if he never had the 2011 run man he would be known as a choker with only 9 play off series wins...dudes 13-15 in playoff series regardless
Agree, imagine winning a championship for the city you were born, What an achievement!
LeBron James just fulfilled his promise.
+farhanking7861 yup

+farhanking7861 the title is too long it would be better if it's just "I Promise" or "I'm Coming Home"
yeah but he failed his promise in miami
I like draymond showing respect to the cavs
Yeah at least he showed class and respect unlike Klay Thompson. I guess he just got his feelings hurt.
Everyone can debate whether he's better than MJ and all that stuff all they want, but i'm not gonna get into that. But I will say, this has to be the single greatest achievement in basketball. Down 3-1 to a 73-9 team with the greatest shooter in NBA history, and storming back with back to back 40 point games, triple doubles left and right, leading all players in basically every statistical category? I am a Kobe fan and a Laker fan, but I will not deny greatness. So congrats to Lebron, and thank you for saving the NBA from Curry, the Nutcracker, and their bandwagon nation. If nothing else, Lebron and the Cavs should at least be appreciated for that.
Warrior are gonna pursue Kevin Durant. It's reported that Kevin Durant is interested of joining the Golden State Warriors. lol, Bangwagon still gets another chance.
I hope they lose Klay Thompson and Iguodala among a few others...I just can't imagine Green, Durant, Curry and Thompson all sharing the ball happily.
Not to mention he did all of what u said with a sub par supporting cast. Kevin Love basically a no show all finals. JR smith got hot occasionally for 1 or 2 quarters. And everyone else just passed to Lebron lol only him and Kyrie showed up. So it was 2 on 8 basically.
+Mr.Calculus KD is not leaving, he said it earlier so it's over for the Warriors. I'm just glad LeBron saved the NBA from all these bandwagons
nice comments
This is forever my favorite finals.
You guys just don't understand how amazing this title was for Cleveland to had pulled it out...
-In the regular season, Cavs lost to this team on Christmas day, and the Warriors blew them out the water in the second game. If you remember, Golden State started the season like 25-0 or something, sorry I can't remember and the Cavs throughout the whole season were struggling to manage a balance and had their ups and downs.
-I loved this postseason so much because it forever proves that regular season does not matter, at all. The only thing that really matters is seeding.
-The odds on Cavs winning this series was so not in their favor. If I can remember correctly, it was like a 20% to 30% chance of winning.
-Cleveland hasn't had a title in 52 years.
-The Warriors have the best regular season in NBA history, second best home court, coach of the year, unanimous MVP who made 400 threes in a season, record for most 3s in a season.
-Cavs were the severe underdogs, everybody was saying Warriors in 5, Warriors in 6 etc. Me personally I predicted a finals rematch but in the beginning of the season I said GS in 6, but then i think a few months later I changed it to Cavs in 6 becuase I just knew LeBron was gonna somehow get his revenge I didn't know how they would do it though.
-The Cavs LOSE the first 2 games, and both of them were pretty much blowouts, most people had Cavs getting swept, except for me.
-Cavs win game 3, but in game 4 LeBron didn't play his best and was apparently the "cause" of Green's suspension, and almost everybody hated LeBron after game 4.
-I was praying to God for the Cavs to win game 5 somehow someway because I wanted all the haters to shut up. Thompson started talking shit, Green talked shit, and the world hated LeBron so for the Cavs to win game 5 never have I been so happy. Game 5 to me was more of an impressive win than game 7, just my opinion. I still can't believe they won game 5.
-BTW MOST people had Golden State closing out the series whether it was game 5, 6 or 7, they didn't care, everyone doubted the Cavs.
-LeBron comes back again with another 40 point game in game 6. His confidence level just skyrocketed out of nowhere and nobody could stop him in the last 3 games.
-And lastly, game 7, people don't realize that Golden State coming back from 3-1 wasn't really that impressive since all they had to do was win their 2 home games and then just win 1 on the road like they should had already.

-I still can't believe the Cavs won this series. They had all the odds against them, but they did it.
well they should have won last year so....lebrosn team isnt really an underdog...they have lebron and kyrie...as it should be...i mean damn..
So true greatest game i ever watched
Christian Johnson tbh it was very “Cleveland” like being born and raised and still live Cleveland..it’s one the of happiest days of my life still
The Cavs have never been to the NBA Finals before LeBron James came to that organization, let alone win a title.The Cavs owner Dan Gilbert should be extremely thankful that LeBron came back to that organization and he owes him the deepest of apologies for how he treated LeBron when he left for Miami.
What do you expect? Big Dan is a 1% crony wall street snake oil salesman with too much of an ego. I never liked him as an owner and as a person.

+Mikki Farmer That said, Lebron should also be thankful that Big Dan welcomed him back with open arms.
Mach68 I mean, look at how Pat Riley has had to completely bite his tongue to avoid being a hypocrite. LeBron did things that simply made him irate. I was told LeBron would request the Miami team spend the night in Cleveland when they played there. Spoelstra would tell Riley and Riley would explode. It was like catering to a newborn. LeBron is one of the greatest athletes ever, but has the emotional state of a child.
You are pulling that 'staying in Cleveland' incident completely out of context. Lebron only offered to have the team stay over in Cleveland on 2013 Thanksgiving, where he invited the WHOLE TEAM to stay one night for Thanksgiving dinner, otherwise the team would have to spend Thanksgiving in a Toronto hotel. Seems like a decent reason to me.

And I would have no problem with Lebron disgracing/insulting/degrading the Cavaliers organization. It is pretty clear to me that before Lebron came back, the Cavs were COMPLETELY dysfunctional. After Lebron left, they went from a 61 win team to 19 wins. Even by the 13.14, they still only had 30-ish wins. They even drafted Anthony Bennett 1st overall. Kyrie was a no-brainer, and that draft pick was the only thing that they did right.
Lebron practically runs the entire organization for Gilbert now, effectively rebuilding the team by making the Shumpert/J. R. Smith go through and also attracting Love to sign with the Cavs. He also installed a new culture within the organization At least 90% of their recent success is the results of his work. On the other hand, Gilbert has done nothing significant to contribute to the team. Why would anyone defend such an incompetent manager?
wow, props to the guy clapping in the background wearing the Warriors jersey at 5:42 who stuck around to see LeBron get his trophy and congratulate him. that's a classy move in a sea of unclassy fans.
YUP YUP GREAT BAY AREA FANS
@@randybrown1225 great fanbase too bad im a lakers fan now i will still watch warriors now and then
i mean you have to, even if he hate lebron, coming back 3-1 to the greatest team possibly ever to bring a chip back home to cleveland?? like that's a fucking disney channel sports movie from the 90's lol
Klay left for the locker room instead of congratulating the champs like his teammates, I guess he got his feelings hurt...
Those words he said came back and bit him in the ass.
1 Garoto 2 Mundos you came out here just to hate🤣

overused.

Ryan Chen and nobody likes the cavaliers bandwagons
Ryan Chen when the warriors won in 2015 that was their first championship in 43 years. The real fans from Oakland know how LeBron feels that’s why they gave him a standing ovation.

@1 Garoto 2 Mundos but klay doesn't show up and gets carried,plus a ring without no finals mvp ha 😂
GG gg steph curry isn’t a nba finals mvp I think
I love hearing Mike Breen's call when the final buzzer sounded. He seemed genuinely happy for the Cavs and the fans of Cleveland finally got a chance to experience a championship after a 52-year drought, and also see a team make history by overcoming a 3-1 deficit in The Finals.
LeBron played like a true MVP. Kyrie also deserve a lot of praise for being an excellent second leading scorer. Great Job LeBron and Kyrie,
LeGoat!

Hahahahahaahaha
Lmfao like they need anything though they have Curry, KD, Klay, one-sided refs and a voodoo doll that injures the best players on the most threatening teams to them, but this is still hilarious
Abdul Ali 😭
6 years later. Still one of the most amazing finals ever!
50 years from now, it’ll still be one of the most amazing finals ever! I don’t know if we’ll ever have this many narratives in one year again. 73-9 team, 3-1, unanimous MVP, 52 year drought, lost the year before, Lebron coming back to his hometown team to deliver a title. It’s like a movie, except this shit was too good to possibly make up!
@@Notfluffedfr. I HATE the fact that Kevin Durant messed the potential of this rivalry cuz it could’ve been even greater.
@@dezz8598agreed bro, it was clearly a mismatch when Durant joined. I still hate that snake for joining the team that defeated him in the WCF🤣
You ain't never lied game 7 championship that's a championship game
That gray in LeBron's beard is the truest testament to the weight he's carried for the city of Cleveland. You don't get gray hairs at the age of 31, without some real pressure.
Similar to how many Presidents are almost completely-grayed by the end of their stressful presidency, LeBron's carried his administration, if you will, for a long time.
Since he was 17 years old, when you think about it. Can you imagine that? Carry an entire city's expectations for over 13 years, all your adult life.
Perhaps even longer, since some in Cleveland watched him grow up as a prodigy in school, waiting for his growth with longing eyes.
By the way, while it's certainly easy to dismiss most GSW fans as "bandwagon," and probably to a large degree they are, but some of those folks simply aren't. GSW has had a loyal fan base before the swollen numbers and heightened interest surrounding Golden State.
You have to account for some of them being true-blue longtime fans who themselves likewise experienced decades-long drought in sports before last year, and some just being folks who respect what greatness these Warriors have proven themselves to be.
Because the Warriors lost, not because they're not great, but because they got a bit too comfortable being great and greatly underestimated other greatness. That's sorta' a good problem to have, moving forward. They can fix that problem, and losing takes care of half if it. Losing taught them respect. Losing will mature this Warriors team for the better, I think.
Also, I'll point out that even among the general crowd, bandwagon fans or not, there were quite a number of folks in GSW jerseys giving LeBron and the Cavs a hand, as a show of sportsmanship. Sometimes, one just has to respect greatness when they see it.--esp. in such historical fashion. You wouldn't see that kind of behavior in, say, Madison Square Garden.
I also liked seeing the number of GSW fans greeting their team after the loss. They know the Warriors are still a formidable team, and true fans are born through how you support your team during loss (esp. one as huge as this one).
Even the Warriors didn't seem to take the loss as hard as you'd think, probably because it hadn't sank in yet at that point, but also probably in part because they know they'll see next year, with humbled but hungry again, and fans will be ready to support them.
I rooted for the Cavs, and I congratulate them. But I just wanted to give a bit of respect to GSW and their fan base, just for showing some sportsmanship about their loss. I look forward to another great season of NBA basketball--one probably even more exciting than this year.
so true bro this my first time seeing lebron with grey hair it's weird bt I'm glad he got his for his city the guy has been under so much pressure for years I mean even as a 17 yr old kid this man is truly great I hope now that he got his chip his stress level can go down and he can play truly free that's gonna b exciting to watch he also has most of these guys returning next can we think repeat
That's respectable, I can give props to TRUE Warriors fans, it's the band wagoners who just wanted to see Lebron lose that I was tap dancing on their heads when the Cavs won and loved every minute of it xD
I said that earlier this week on facebook, I got them going for 2 in a row, let Golden State lose with Durant on the squad & they'll be a laughing stock LMAOOO
+SithLordNefaar022 It was the TRUE Warriors fans that hung around during the championship ceremony.
The rest of them pulled a "Klay Thompson".
This season we've witnessed 3 historical teams:
Best regular season team ever (Warriors)
Best regular season home team ever (Spurs)
First team to overcome a 3-1 deficit in the Finals (Cavs)
Forget the hatred and be thankful for what we've lived this year.
nah every game was a blow out expect game 7
even better than the 95-96 season (imho)
+BaraKuda _ HAHAHA
Agreed, I don't know why everyone has to hate so much. This was a historical season, and we should be happy as fans to have seen it.
Lol what a year
As a Clevelander, this was the greatest day of my life as a sports fan. You can tell how much this meant that you could hear the emotion in Doris Burke's voice just waiting to get that first answer out of James, seeing him hugging Irving with tears in his eyes. She was trying to hold it back too.
I love the hug between LeBron and Kyrie, so sweet still to this day
i cried when the clock is 0 because finally he fulfilled his promise...even when they down 3-1 they can make a comeback and win the championship...
Me and all my friends have been waiting forever for a title in Cleveland I also cried when the final buzzer rang
+ArifehC In Shaa Allah he can do much more
I was so happy too!!! #allin216
me too
I cried to
even before this i already put lebron as top 3
Same here. Great accomplishment, But rings don't mean much to me when ranking players.
Yep a smart analyst would understand that rings are ultimately TEAM accomplishments. A great individual player can win no rings but still have a spectacular career.
Kevin Durant second best player lol.
+ChauNyan Kevin Durant is a soft ass bitch lookin for the easy way for a ring since his sorry ass couldn't do it with Westbrook whooping his ass night in and night out
+King Cheese It was sarcasm. People considered him to be the best, but in reality, he is just an old man who will never win a championship.
If this Finals was a movie, this would be the perfect ending. Best Game 7 EVER!
YUP
Rest in peace Nick Gilbert. Watching you celebrate made Cleveland proud. So happy that the Cavs won while you were able to enjoy it also. Condolences to his mom dad sister and brothers.
didnt even know he died.,
I told y'all that Kevin Love was gonna have big game on game 7. Although not big on the points, but rebounding and defensive stats were amazing!!
no u didn't tell us
lol hahaha but yup Kevin Love Did Great On Defense
What are you talking about? Kevin Love played good defense this game
+Vlito Corleone what r u talking about? He played great defense today. Even shut down curry on a crucial possesion
+Vlito Corleone he's a pf garding gaurds
LeBron James Led Both Teams In Points Rebounds Assists Steals and Blocks And Became The First Player To Do it in a 7 Game Series and First To Do it in a 7 Game Series in NBA Finals History.
Absolutely legendary
The man beat the 73-9 Warriors that everyone was saying was THE greatest team ever. He took them to 7, had a triple double and beat them. He has the right to say he feels like he’s the greatest player ever, you don’t have to agree with him but he has earned the right to say it.
I was born in 1980 so I grew up with watching Michael and I still believe Michael is better than EVERYONE but even I have to acknowledge the greatness of LeBron James.
The Cavs beat the 73-9 warriors
AmargaVida stop giving him all the credit
I was born in 1988 so I grew up with the Jordan-Pippen era in my early childhood and the Shaq-Kobe era in my teens. So MJ is my number 1 and Kobe is number 2 but watching this a couple years back I respect Lebron alot more that chasedown block sealed everything 💯
Jordan NEVER BEAT A 73-9 TEAM
Than averages a 34 point triple double against a 73-9 team with kd on it and people still find a way to hate
Kd can win 10 championships but will never have a moment like this
how about KD back to thunder and get a champ?
..nah, i will still hate KD
にぱ! Yeah honestly don’t care if he gets a ring with the thunder or any other team after he went to golden state
Atleast he won in his real team rather than kd traded in the championship team
@@harry5384 it is better to kd to go back to thunder and give the tittle..or champion like he did it to LeBron to Cavs...
@@junixnaive6213 yeah true but he most likely won’t

One of the greatest stories ever told! No city deserved it more than the LAND!
LeBron's emotion is so strong and so real that it made me cry too over a year later. God I love LeBron James!
Who’s here after gsw got bounced in 6 games and lost all 3 home games
Me
Yep
right here
Present!
“Most dominant home court in the last two years” not this year bitch!
So I guess people were
right when they said warriors only won because cavs didn't have love and kyrie
Warriors didn't have Bogut and Draymond for 2 of their losses, you could also say. The only real reason the cavs won is because of the hunger for revenge. Which is why I advise bandwagons to stay spurs and warriors fans, both teams have a job to do that was supposed to happen this year. They coming
Bogut hardly played any minutes LOL. Also they had draymond in games 6 and 7 and they still didn't pull it off. They also had a chance in game 5, the game was super close even though Green was suspended but they still couldn't do it. Face it the warriors lost to a better team.

Dan Gilbert is so trash
Supreme Gucci Dan Gilbert should have LeBron and kyrie on a silver platter
Nothing is impossible to win. Congrats Cavs and Lebron, you finally bring a championship to Cleveland.
compare lebron lifting this finals mvp to his miami days. he's not arrogant at all now
he was not arrogant then either.
MOMMARAE HOLMES exactly he never was
It was only the fckn haters that wanted to picture LBJ as a villain. This is the sweetest victory in the history of CLE, & Cavs Mgt will never be able to pay him enough for what he sacrificed to do for this city that he loves so much !!!
because this one meant much more
Bryan Jacob mo Williams fucked up by taking the trophy from Bron I got mad at him
73-9 is good but 72-10 has a better ring to it😝😝😝
Copied but still good
The game ended like 3 hours ago and ive seen this over 5 times
You steal other comments too?
Don't mean a thing without a ring
yup thats what im saying
The Chosen One King James became the first player in NBA history to lead the Finals in points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks. Obvious G.O.A.T. LeBron is the most clutch player of all time and Curry is the biggest choke artist of all time. LeBron had the greatest finals of all time and Curry had the worst finals of all time. LeBron blocked Curry again in game 7 and LeBron was talking that shit getting into Curry's head. LeBron made Curry his bitch. James outplayed the entire Warriors team and Kyrie outplayed Curry.
he'll Yea lol
W of the Week. and its only Sunday.
Greatness
FUCK YEAH!!!!!
+Slightly Biased Warriors Fan #73-9 #ChefCurry bruh your team gets an L for losing when y'all was up 3-1

+Nicholas Cusick thanks I hate those asshole warrior bandwagon fans that switch to a different team....I feel bad for real Cleveland fans

+GS ShoTz Yeah, believe it or not, I actually am a Cavs fan, and I really don't want those motherfuckin bandwagoners coming to cheer for my home team
NBA history making year for the 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers! Being live to witness greatness with my own eyes will forever be one of my best memories in my lifetime!
I don’t want to hear shit about Bogut being injured.
Last year Golden State didn’t have to face one starting point guard through the entire playoffs. The one game they did, they gave up 22 points to a hobbled Mike Conley. Also, in the finals against Cleveland, it took them six ‘CLOSE’ games to beat one man (Lebron).
If Golden State gets full credit for last year’s championship without any negative caveats, then don’t throw shade at Cleveland for their victory.
Exactly. In my opinion last year's championship was a fluke, I mean, look at the teams they played!
Injured players on EVERY SINGLE TEAM.
mozgov
factsss
The injured west teams were still better than the eastern conference teams. Lebron played injured struck teams in the east also.
I'm not a fan of either team, but at least GSW never cried to the refs to get an opposing star suspended.
This is why Doris is beloved by these players. She is not shy to show her emotions when the situation calls for it.
this still gives me chills
Michael Stojanovic i hated Lebron up until this!! I mean man I hated him!!! But this here is something special!!!!!! With a fuckin triple double!!!!!!
73-9 don't mean shit without a championship.
Still breaks the old record though.

Dont ever compare james to jordan u just disrespected the king!
he sure is..
Micheal Jordan is the Lebron James of his era
@@christianlimpiado 🤣🤣 yeah, he just disrespected the king of the turnovers.
Best comeback in sports history after a 3-1lead with a team 73-9 four super stars "cleveland this is for you"
even the Warriors fans were showing love!
Jorel Byssainthe after not winning the title for 43 years i’m pretty sure they know how it feels to be like the cavs
That’s because there not toxic like the raptors fans
I'm a fan of the Warriors but one thing I miss is this Cleveland team with Kyrie
I am a LeBron fan. When he was in Miami, I moved to miami with him and when he came to cleveland, I bolted from miami. LeBron is great and I am happy he's done it again without the help of any big players. He changed an entire team just like he did in miami, This is Epic and I am proud to be a lebron fan(cavs)
Y'all the worst lmao.
No they do have big players but the caves just needed someone to lead them to it
And you "Heat fans" wondered why we all called you the worst bandwagon fan base ever. If Lebron went back to Miami would you be #HeatNation again? Lmfao
+DunkJam77 same i been with the heat since 2008-2009 season
At least you admitted to being a bandwagon thats cool.
I will never forget that moment absolutely incredible go cavs
You have to respect LeBron. 👍
73-9 and lost in the NBA Finals .. this is as bad as the interception from the 1 yard line from Super Bowl 49 ..
Still can't believe the Seahawks didn't run the ball....
73-9 up 3-1 ...lose game 5 and 7 at home and lose game 7 by 4 without scoring for 4 minutes as the best offense ever only team to lose a 3-1 lead in the finals... and the cavs didnt score either for 4 minutes besides 1 shot lol...essentially because lebron and kyrie killed you lol....the cavs team sucked most of this series and they had no bench lol...jr smith tristain thompson old slow richard jefferson lebron kyrie and iman shumpert and half of kevin love beat the best team ever lol...what a joke....7 guys 3 of whom cant shoot beat a 73 win team lol...and lebron didnt even shoot well...you still lost at home lol
naw its worse because that was one play in one game. Warriors lost 3 straight 2 at home lmfao
Nah. Completely different things. 49 was a play that seemed wide open but Malcolm Butler, who didn't exist before that game btw, made a historic play to shut it down. Golden State just got exposed in the last 14 games of the postseason.
Actually, it reminds me of the 18-0 Patriots squad that lost Super Bowl XLII.
no one in the entire world thought mo buckets was going to hit that shot lol
It didn't matter if he made it
Noahcg 10 was he not behind the line?
Cleveland was up by 4
I'm an idiot
No you are not you just have to pay attention
One had to live in Cleveland to understand the magnitude of this win. 52 years without winning a championship in any pro-sports team can be very frustrating. Not to mention humiliating.
the cavs win their 2 in a row if kryrie played last year
Patrick Peench not maybe, undoubtedly
@Inigo Bantok nah. LeBron himself took it to 6 games in 2016. If he had Kyrie or love they would have won for sure.
in my opinion this put LBJ right behind MJ at the number 2 spot of all time.
No

no
Dan Gilbert def did hear Dorris... he's just not a man to admit that he hated lebron when he left and then kissed his ass when he signed back
Kyrie deserved special shout out for this championship too...Management always mention James but Irving has been terrific for this historic comeback....
I watched this entire game and I was on the edge of my seat at the end. Lebron finally did what nobody since Jim Brown could do: bring a championship to the city of Cleveland. Well deserved and what a series that was!
Who's here after the Lakers won the chip... This one right here vs The Warriors was the best title to me. Just look at the emotions. I still tear up everytime I watch his interview with Doris Burke. I still tear up seeing him collapse on the ground full of emotion.
Who else came back to come watch this after the 2017 finals?
Shock _Games I just did. I still love this team and Lebron! ❤❤❤ This was way way more emotional and heartfelt...
Kara Sashanna Signar I do too. one day i want it to be me up there on that stage. i was born and raised in cleveland and ive been a cavs fan all my life. it ment so much to me that we won and i hope to do it again next year.
Shock _Games It will happen, keep the faith. I'm sure Lebron, Kyrie and the rest of the Cavs will use this year's loss as a motivation and they will bounce back stronger and better. 👊🏆

I won't be surprise if they make a movie about Lebron some day... The most hyped up HS kid ever... SI naming him the Chosen One as a teenager. Saying he will be the next big thing. Grew up with no father, by a single mother. Odds were stacked against him... To actually come in the NBA from day 1, and never took time off on wrecking the league. left the city to win titles somewhere else, then just to come back after and promised that he will bring a title to Cleveland that noone has done in more than 50+ years... To actually do it and deliver it... Man what a story!
The best in finals history.... period.
?????? I don't know about that
YUP
Isaiah Hill this was the best finals
Best playoffs dont forget that okc .
I would like to see him win 3 more rings and be tied with Jordan

YOu gotta think though if he somehow won in 2007 he would of never went to miami and the landscape of the nba would be entirely different now.
Still marveling at what LeBron just willed his team to do. Sheer greatness.
Just watched this over a year later and can’t stop crying. Such a beautiful genuine moment when LeBron was crying man. Simply amazing.
Never in the history of the world have so many people around the world said “WE did it” at the same time.
Can we stop disrespecting LeBron and recognize him as the best player in the world. No more Curry talk till he gets to the finals again
He a great player but idk about his attitude
+Karanvir Gosal yeah he's hecka arrogant
+Karanvir Gosal but I can't deny that he's an amazing player
+LDBrock 729 all you niggas who say dumb shit about him being arrogant I bet you still think Jordan bird and magic are great right? All those players and many more were 100 times more arrogant than James. LeBron is confident, not arrogant, he knows he's the best player in the league and has been for 13 years. He has the right to be confident.
+Karanvir Gosal you know MJ and Kobe were 100x more arrogant and cocky than LeBron will ever be. Who gives a fuck about attitude when you winning rings
I'm the only one who loves the fact that they actually congratulate each other, Klay Thompson? I guess his feelings were hurt.
Still get goosebumps watching this.... Amazing!!

King LBJ👑🐐 4th rings NBA CHAMPIONSHIP 2020
King LBJ👑🐐 MVP 2020
Letz go LAKERS
I'm a Miami Heat fan, I liked LeBron when he was on the team, but when he left I hated him. I honestly hoped he never won a title in Cleveland, but this year as I saw the Warriors dominate, and the Cavs were pushed through obstacles and looked to have no chance, but I saw LeBron through that, I started to hate him less and like him more and more. When he went down 3-1 I saw the passion in his eyes, he's not MJ, Kobe, or Kareem, but he's a god damn legend, he's driven to do the impossible, and he did the impossible. He came back 3-1 to the greatest regular season team ever while playing on a Cleveland sports team. He just moved into the top 3 all time right behind MJ and Kobe.
Not above Kareem.
i agree with everything you said until the last word!! KOBE lol
kobe aint top 3...he is not even top 5 brv...call him a 9
Nishan waraich L
kobe aint shit.!!! he is not a top 5 all time!
Nishan waraich L never will be true
"IT'S OVER, IT'S OVER!!!!!"
Music 2 my ears xD
as a Warriors fan, i agree this comeback is probably the greatest moment NOT only in the NBA, but in the HISTORY of sports.
i use to hate lebron but after wat he did coming back down from 3-1 i cant do nothing but give him props (no im not a Cleveland now)but much respect to him and congratulations
lebron is the best player in the league
Kwai is
@Anastacio Calimag Jr explain
Anastacio Calimag Jr LeBron is the GOAT. Don’t ever put that disrespect on his name.
Anastacio Calimag Jr kawhi’s better
Anastacio Calimag Jr better at basketball and is gonna beat him this year he shoots better from 3, mid and ft, and is a much better defender and is 2-1 against him
This is when the NBA still excited, also Irving on cavs.
Rich Paul funny as Hell at 4:47 screaming the best ever THE BEST EVER!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just watching this gives me chills I was 16 watching this in the living room explaining to my grandma what had just happened historical nostalgic moment
I was with lebron since the first year he came to the heat when he lost to mavs and it amazing to see him win a ring for Ohio
I know right!? I was born and raised in Tampa, Florida and I'll always respect Lebron for 2 championships and 4 Finals appearances in my home state, and damn it feels good to see him bring one to his home.
+Scott Summers Thats cool. Same here. Iwas born in Tampa. Raised in New York though.
Ya I've been following him since his rookie year I even have the Valentine's Day jersey
Oh wow what a diehard fan you are lmao. Further proof #HeatNation didn't exist before 2011 and only lasted till Lebron went back to Cleveland. You bandwagoners make me sick.
+Teengenerate77 thx and trust me I hate bandwagoners to but the thing is CLE will have a lot more fans next year
Warriors fans will come to CLE
mad respect for draymond green tho
He was one of the few Dubs players that was a good sport.
Mach68 nigga has an attitude though sometimes
reyian451 true dat
yeah reyian451 sometimes winning will get into your head and start trash talking like what lebron did when he went to miami he was cocky
IRVING AND BRON TOGETHER BROUGHT THE TEAM A RING
This vid made me cry.
Cause I know how much Lebron dealt with.
So much hate and etc.
Even after this, still much hate daily.
You earned this Lebron
That shit made me emotional and that's cause I don't like Lebron when he left to Miami. You can tell this championship means the most to him. Glad he finally accomplished what he set out since coming in the league.
Five years ago on this day! Something we Cavaliers fans will never forget.
It's been a tradition to watch this from time to time.
Much love to the 2016 champs. Great team, well coached. Lead by one of the GREATEST LeBron James. I love the young man drive and heart. One of the top 5 GREATEST players.
I followed the Cavs on 2007-2010. And seeing Lebron James and Mo Williams win a chip together as Cavaliers made me cry 😢
Same I wish Dan Gilbert invested in lebron right after he got drafted they could’ve won another ring if they traded for a star
72-10 has a better ring to it
Ngl that was a good one
Seeing the Warriors fan clap in front of LeBron @ around 5:45 or :50 or so, when LeBron put the 👌🏾sign -- that was really nice.
Good sportsmanship
Or they instantly became fans like they did with Golden State
+jjkillerization or that Lol
One of the 10 greatest sports stories in history.
As an Warriors fan, That most likely winning 73-9 regular season open-minded reminds us to reach together and forever. Lots of love ❤
