It's tradition to watch this every once in a while
Amen
Facts💪🏽
Fax
Ikr
Facts
It’s crazy how no one appreciates LeBron for doing the impossible: putting on a shirt without taking off his cap
I just noticed that!!!😂😂😂
Tim M. 😭😭
The fuck kinda sorcery is that
A true legend
Ahahaha
I don’t know why it took me 7 years to notice but the last 3 minutes were BRICK CITY! Thank God Kyrie hit the dagger! 🙏🏼
Championship defense and the players were gassed
hello GSE haha
Thank God Lebron had the block and thank God James hit a free throw to ice the Finals.
This is was the most historic thing ive ever seen
Kyrie's shot was badass.
1. The Block by James, 2. The Shot by Kyrie, and 3. The Defence by Love. Some crazy shit🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The block, the shot and the stop
The holy trinity of clevland
The big three all contributed.
The Block. The Shot . The Stop.
The three things that lead the cavs to a title
1. OHHH BLOCKED BY JAMES
2. Irving on Curry one on one
3. Love’s lockdown defence
fr Loves defence was really good on curry and underrated
Big 3 finally came through for cavs
And a free throw ;) 🌟
Free throw was nice but imagine lbj hits that dunk
Nah, Curry actually shook Kevin Love, but unfortunately, he missed the shot.
Kevin Love for 10 second transformed into the defensive player of the yesr
Adrenaline rush ahahaha
FAX
His legs were shaking you knew he was gonna put some hall of fame defense lmao
FR tho, he absolutely locked up Steph on that possession
Sadly
Imagine if Bron had that dunk over Green. Imagine how crazy Quicken Loans Arena would’ve been.
prob the biggest what if moment of all time
I’d argue that might’ve been the best dunk in nba history
God decided the series was glorious enough already
That would have actually affected Lebron’s legacy because he’d be the unanimous GOAT
@@CarlosLopez-vp5kt no way you think that, they would’ve won the game either way.
That Love defense against Curry is legendary.
Kind of defense that will win you championship. 👌👌
#1 play on his NBA career resume
Was not talked about enough
That's the word: "Legendary".
It’s absolutely incredible. As career defining as “the rebound” by Bosh.
Kevin Love became DPOY for a few minutes in this game
Legit
lmaooooo i was just about to comment this shit. never seen anyone move like that and he’s a big man 😂
Curry caught no heat for gettin locked by love
To
@Yung Dani frrrr like people never want to give him credit but always want to give him the blame
More like seconds
Remember: there was only 4 points scored in this entire video
Nerves and good defense
Wow
@@NikolaJokic23 and fatigue
Just IMAGINE the pressure they all felt
And 3 of them came from kyrie
“It’s over it’s over Cleveland is a city of champions once again, the cavaliers are nba champions” such a iconic moment
“Iguadala to curry, back to iguadala, up for the layup, oh blocked by James!” Maybe the most iconic play by play call of all time
Once again?
Man that one line had me in tears!... 😢
@@nrx_plays1004yeah, cuz they’ve won championships in other sports. I’m sure the commentator was aware they never won a nba trophy before but I hope this clears ur confusion
I broke down crying watching this live…my Dad teared up. My Sister (RIP) watched it from work and called me. I’m just happy my Dad and my Sister got to see this. My Sister passed unexpectedly a month later, and I lost my Dad in April of last year to cancer. I tear up when I see this still because my Dad and I watched it together, I miss him and my Sis so much. But they got to see this. I wish my Grandpa had got to see it but he passed the last day of 2008.
So sorry for your loss. That's a lovely memory you got to share
Sorry for your loss, brother, my prayers are with you. What a great moment to share.
I'm sorry for your loss. Glad you have that memory to reflect on.
Im very sorry for your loss, my prayers are with you and your family
🙏🏿
When Lebron helped curry up in the last minutes
That’s true sportsmanship and people still hate him
I saw a vid where Scottie Pippen smacked Kukoc's hand for offering to help someone up. Just a different mentality back then
GroundBeefTaco yeah shaq told the story of fouling MJ because he knew he would t hear the end of it if MJ dunked on him, Jordan told Shaq good foul, but don’t help me up
he's a phony. he was yelling at steph like he was stephs father in the previous game. so pick one r u a hero or a villain. that's why people hate lebron. he wants to be this all american class act but then he's so petty and manipulative.
vvvvvvvvv ha ur mad
@@trrxyy1656 im speaking facts. i respect his greatness as a player but he's a phony point blank period. be a class act like duncan or dirk or be a dick like kobe or westbrook stay true to yourself don't try to be something youre not. you heard his comments on china. he be doing stupid shit like this.
I'm still mad to this day that Lebron didn't end Green's career with that dunk
SAME
Same man
Greatest dunk ever if completed
Green would definitely be working for ESPN right now if LeBron hit that
Mans got fouled mid air
As we watch the 2023 NBA finals, I can’t help but think this is the greatest NBA finals comeback of all time. Down 3-1 to the greatest regular season team of all time, winning the last 2 games in Oakland, just absolutely incredible. I don’t know if there will ever be a greater NBA finals comeback.
There will never be a greater NBA Finals Championship comeback. Even if a Reverse Sweep happens, this was against a 73-9 Golden State Warriors.
@@Zoot004yeah you can’t top that
@zhyon8273 fax this was literally the best record if all time and the Cavs beat them in a comeback
@@Zoot004 fr like unanimous mvp curry and dpoy dray and splash god klay in his prime- the team was scary good
lmao no draymond was suspended 1 game stop it@@Zoot004
I miss 2016…time goes by too fast and lately I’ve felt like life has been punching me in the mouth. I like to return to this, remember better times, and watch every so often to stay motivated.
Same here, bro
2016 was a amazing year for my, the best year in my life ❤
Hang in there bro. Life is all about ups and downs. Good things will come.
Keep your head up! It might feel like you’re down 3-1 in life, but you WILL bounce back!!
I hope you get out of this rutt you're in. Use these memories as a reminder that you're gonna keep making more. We don't always know in the moment which ones are part of the good ol days and which ones aren't, and I find myself nostalgic of things I never would've guessed while I was living it.
never forget Kevin Love locked down Curry
HailToTheVictor503 Lol
HailToTheVictor503 didn't lock him up tho
HailToTheVictor503 and Lebron icing the game with a freethrow
Steph Curry The G.O.A.T what are you talking about he caused a bad shot and curry couldn't get past him
AngelSurge SSX nah he beat that bum off the dribble then pulled back cause he saw LeBron in the paint watch
*In a parallel universe, LeBron finished that dunk over Draymond and it is remembered as the greatest play in NBA Finals history*
If he woulda got that one..maaaaaaaaaaaan
I wish he made the dunk and broke the backboard too lol
But that block was way better by lebron
He makes that dunk and building would’ve melted. Definition of nuclear.
*sports
this is literally the best championship ever in NBA history everyone is on their prime making crazy plays
except curry who disappeared
@@Someone-hi1nt that's true man's been missing 3's all night long 😅 but that's probably because of the tight defense
@@einsleyharriot1294 nah curry choked the whole series, he just played worse than he usually does as well as still recovering from an injury, however no excuse, and probably the greatest comeback in nba history
@@Someone-hi1ntCurmickey mouse💀
not really haha watch the basketball being played here, very ugly and a lot of bricks
easily the greatest finals of all time, I find myself to come back and watch this every once in a while and it always gives me chills, the beauty of sports is indescribable you simply have to experience it
Comments like these show who actually watched the series vs who watched the highlights of Game 7 lol.
This series overall sucked, every game was a blowout. The only exciting game was this one
@@Nono0618 ok if u are talking about individual games than to me 2013 was the most exciting, however you can't just take them in a vacuum you got to remember the hype behind every game, the rivalry, the backstory people wondering if lebron could actually come back
@@luciddoggo5094 There was no hype until Game 7
2013 still my Fav, But 2016 have the GOAT Game 7 Basketball Game
@@Nono0618there was hype during game 6
LeBron with "The Block"
Kyrie with "The Shot"
K Love with "The Stop"
The entire big 3 showed up in these last minutes of this game
Kevin Love played defense like he was on drugs that play wth....
And Curry with "The Brick"
And Curry had two of the worst 3 point attempts I’ve ever seen in a finals game
Love played defense like his life depended on it
Refs/NBA with "The Rig"
I still wish to this day he made that dunk, literally would’ve been a top 5 dunk of all time
he got his revenge on the christmas game!
Time stamp?
@@itzaspxct8154 6.10
That would’ve been the greatest Dunk of all time
I was just talkin about tht to my coach. Tht woulda been a crazy dunk
Something about that Bron and Curry moment at 50 seconds in… two dudes, all time greats, Game 7 head to head in a match up for the ages. They both know one of them is going to be a Champion in 2:50, but they try to help each other up and Bron gives Curry the love tap after the foul. I don’t know why but I get chills from it every time.
Dude I was Just thinking this!!!
Same lol
Why lie
ruclips.net/video/py0-l1M_870/видео.html this moments better
@@johnkim6153 ????
People might not like Kyrie nowadays, but man, that might’ve been the coldest shot in NBA history. Game 7 on the road and if you miss the momentum shifts to the Warriors and crowd erupts. Obviously the block was amazing too, arguably the best chase down block in history as well but that shot was something different
Chill, Ray Allen Game 6
@@miamidadescratchnwin7656 respectfully disagree. The heat still had to go and win game 7 and game 6 of this series was epic too. No team has ever came back down 3-1 in the finals…
He almost tricked it off twice after that shot
@@miamidadescratchnwin7656 the ray allen shot was in a game 6 first off, was at home, wasn’t to win the series after being down 3-1 which no team has ever done, and they weren’t going against a team that just set the all time win record in a season. It was still a great shot but in comparison to Kyries it wasn’t as good
@@brentonbogan7326yeah but 1. It's a much tougher shot. 2. If kyrie missed it the game still goes on cavs might win or they might not, if Allen missed that it's over and spurs win the chip. Every shot were you are behind in score just adds more pressure
5:40
“Irving finds love”
Good for him
Good comment but the quote isn’t correct
@@torinoconnor4296 I know I was trying to shorten it cuz the commentator was saying a lot of words and I don’t want to spend five minutes on a comment
@@MrDonut-ys6bf Ok then don’t put quotes
@@torinoconnor4296 OMG u serious?
@@MrDonut-ys6bf Yeah lol
Are we gonna ignore the fact that Kevin Love had Steph on solitary confinement?
Fr some of the best defense I’v ever seen him do
Clamped him.
Three huge plays from the big 3. The shot by Kyrie, block by lebron and Love clamping curry
Elite defense... but thats more on Steph than Love honestly.
@@taeheekim8314 that don't make sense when steph can make any other defender dance.
I'll never forget this night, after the buzzer I was literally on my forearms and knees overcome with emotion, and after a while I looked up at the TV to see LeBron in the EXACT same place as me... I kept repeating one thing, the phrase of the night was "They f'n did it!"
This is identical to what I did!!!
so homo lol
You must be from ohio
SAME bro
No matter where I am in life, I always find a way to come back to this video
Probably the best nba finales of this generation hands down
This is easily the best finals series ever
The only competition this has from this generation was 2011 mavs or 2010 lakers. The 2014 Spurs was probably the most beautiful offence of all time
@@Lante216 1998 finals were the greatest ever this a close second tho
this is the best game 7 of this generation, but the others 6 games were double-digit wins... imo 2013 Heat vs. Spurs the games were a lot closer plus you have the ray allen shot and lebron game 7 triple double..
💯💯💯
K-Love's shutdown of Curry is so underrated. Steph couldn't shake him. Hell of an ending to a game.
It's underrated cause K-love wasn't doing much that game. Except for that one play.
@@WinterFrostx 9 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and then that stop on defense. But yeah he didn't do anything that game.
@@mikehatton583 For someone at Klove's stature that isn't really anything
For an average player sure
@@WinterFrostx same with Curry..
@@marksman4599 It's common knowledge and widely accepted that Curry disappeared in that game.
The block by James & the shot by Irving..still giving me chills everytym I watch this 2016 NBA finals...
Yeah because Lebron Blocked the ball that gave them the chance to Actually Win.....
Don't forget the defense love played on curry in the finals minutes.
And the defense by Love!!!
Steph couldn’t get that shot off 😂 my boy was applying PRESSURE!!!
Imagine going down 3-1 in the NBA finals, teams being 0-32 at the time, against arguably the best team in NBA history, and making one of the greatest comebacks ever and winning a championship for a city that hasn’t seen a team win one in 52 years…greatness
Against all ODDS ( best record in NBA HISTORY, FIRST UNANIMOUS MVP in STEPH, Warriors hadn’t lost 3 in a row all SEASON!, He out did all 20 players on both teams in every category , gave two 40 pieces back to back and wrapped it up with THE BLOCK and a TRIPLE DOUBLE. JORDAN WOULDVE GOTTEN WASHED BY THESE WARRIORS
😂😂😂
@rottenrholl5202 Bulls in 5 easy .
Man....If Lebron would've made that dunk
Ron27 OKC#Thunderup it would've ended Draymond's career
Ron27 OKC#Thunderup he would have ended Draymond Green career.
what career?
In loving memory of Draymond Jamal Green, June 19 2016. Cause of death: LeBron James posterize
Ron27 OKC#Thunderup why would he retire lol?!! he is good at defense and good passer
when both were tied at 89 and none of them could score, I know everyone's nerves were at its peak. that 2 minutes & 36 seconds would give anyone an anxiety attack. WHAT AN INCREDIBLE SERIES.
Classic
That 3 from Irvin was iced cold

To hear Doris fighting tears while interviewing LeBron lets you know how long she’s been covering LeBron. All the locker room experience. All his worse and best moments. She genuinely felt how much this meant to him and It gets me every time. We as fans are happy for him too, but imagine being Doris in that moment is al I’m saying.
It’s perfect:
•Lebron James block
•Kyrie Irving triple
•Kevin Love perfect defense
The Big 3 balance is simply perfect.
If 2015 love kyrie healthy they would have won bc it still went game 6 just lebron and this season he’s going to win with the lakers so we would be Sitting on 5 rings and if didn’t choke would have won 1 more which would put him with 6 but I still think he’s the goat
@@tjjohal3375 Nope. He Cant be the Goat after teaming up with Dwayne Wade, Bosh, Ray, Kyrie, K love, AD, and Boogie Cousins. kareem has 6, mj has 6, they didnt choke any finals
FIU Student so u are saying u can’t be the goat if u have good teammates??? That means MJ is automatically eliminated from the goat conversation because he has Scottie Pippen
@@dagod6361 No cause MJ had 1 really good teammate (Pippen) in that 1st 3peat. And btw he actually 3peated (twice). Lbj has had all the players i already stated above and has won half of that despite playing more seasons, and having fewer injuries, choosing where he goes
FIU Student Dude the Bulls don't 3 peat the 2nd time if it weren't for HOF Dennis Rodman. They couldn't even beat Orlando the previous year because Horace Grant owned their ass & they had no answer for him till they got the Worm.. You act like a man has to go out there & literally play with bums. Every single team that has won championships has had 2-4 elite players... How would you like it if you had to play entire seasons with trash ass players & you were the only good 1 out there? Wouldn't feel so good now would it? Stop all of that lame ass hating.
Man I wish LeBron would’ve finished that dunk on Draymond 😂😂
Shawn Williams that would have been his best dunk ever
that was my one wish for this game i wish he slammed it on that nigga lmao
Would’ve been the greatest dunk in nba history
Shawn Williams man i swear i screamed BITCHHHHHH... then he missed it 😂😂😂
A poster dagger on the most hated warrior would’ve been special
Most tense game 7 ever. As LeBron fan this still bring tears in my eyes
Not sure we can ever fathom how hard these dudes where playing. The level of work these guys put in through these series will never be forgotten. Glad I got to see history
curry himself said that he never seen 2 guys play at that level
warriors with all the bricks also helped, pretty bad basketball on display here
The Cavs big three really showed up in the final minutes
Lebron's block on iggy
Love's defence on curry
And then kyries big 3 pointer
unlike the warriors at game 6 (except for Klay and curry)
Skillex25 lmao that one defensive play was all love did lmaooo 😂😂 he didn’t do shit. Kyrie got bailed out cuz Curry was injured, and Lebron was just Lebron, what more cud u expect? But still... Cavs hella lucky lmao
@@deluxebasketballanalysis2198 Keep Crying 73-9 blew 3-1 finals lead.
@@deluxebasketballanalysis2198 well if you want to play the lucky game then we can also say that the 2015 warriors were lucky due to 2 allstar cavs players injured in the finals which would then change the whole narrative of lebrons legacy.
@@deluxebasketballanalysis2198 It's never "lucky" when you come back from a 3-1 deficit. Lol Tf?
This will forever be my favorite NBA finals. It can't get any more bad ass than Kyrie Irving and Lebron James taking down a 73-9 team from a 3-1 deficit.
Ross Hughes Best championship ever
This and the 2013 finals vs the heat and spurs were so legendary and LeGoat James was in both
Same. Unbelievable. Pay homage to the bulls, ain't no best season without a title
How old are you? 12?
2010 lakers vs Celtics was the best
Seven years ago today. I remember it like it was yesterday. It is, without question, the greatest moment in sports history. The Miracle on Ice has nothing compared to this. As someone who has spent their entire life in Northeast Ohio, I remember yelling around my house that hell had frozen over, and texting my mom’s friends (I was 12 and didn’t have a phone then). This was a day all of Cleveland and NE Ohio had been waiting for for over half a century. It’s easily the best day of my life
This was unreal to watch live. As a cleveland fan for such a long time, this was the greatest sports moment of my life. Have to come back and watch it every year to relive the greatness
If only this was done on the Cavs home court, the crowd would’ve went insane
Makes it a little bit sweeter that they did it in "the hardest building to win in as the away team", though. Don't you think?
They would've screamed like fucking banshees
It would be just like game 7 in Toronto

@6:16 if lebron would've dunk that 😳
God still to this day I can’t believe the Cavs won. I was born and raised in Cleveland Ohio and rooted for the Cavs before these finals and I root for them still till this day. This is one of those games that you remember exactly where you were at, I was at my grandmas house and my eyes were glued to the tv while I sat in front of it on the floor . I remember being so nervous and scared that the Cavs were going to lose again because when they lost in 2015 I was devastated so I knew this year we had to win. I and everyone else watching witnessed history live, but as someone who actually is from Cleveland and suffered the lost throughout the years, seeing them finally win our first championship in any sport since 1964 was amazing. I remember the block, the shot, Kevin Loves defense on Curry, LeBron’s free throw and the sound of the buzzer going off better than the back of my hand. When LeBron had that iconic block on Iguodala I screamed of joy and when Kyrie hit that game winning 3 I started to celebrate but I was still terrified, until we were up by 4 points with 10.6 seconds left of the game. The Warriors had the ball with 10.6 seconds left of the the game and Cleveland was up by 4 it was at that moment I knew the Cavs won their first ever NBA championship. The Cavs were the underdogs and they were going against a 73-9 team, no one though they could’ve came back from a 3-1 lead but as a Cavs fan I knew that the could do it and I believed in them. This game was more than just basketball. This game was history, the first team in NBA history to comeback from a 3-1 lead in the finals, the Cavs first ever NBA championship, Cleveland’s first championship in 52 years and it was the best night of my life. I remember when the clock ran out and the buzzer went off I started to celebrate and jump around, I poured water and beer on me just because how happy I was and I didn’t know what to do. I remember the day after I had to check my phone and see if the Cavs actually won and I was so happy that it wasn’t a dream. To me as a Cavs fan this made LeBron the Goat, he did something no one else ever did. He came back after 4 years and told Ohio that he was going to give us a championship and he sure did. This game made me respect LeBron as a player and person forever and he will always be the GOAT in my eyes. When LeBron left Cleveland in 2018 I wasn’t mad because he gave us a championship like he said he was going to do. In fact when LeBron left I was a big LeBron fan by then and I told my self wherever LeBron goes I go and rooted for him ever since despite he’s not on Cleveland anymore. When Kyrie left Cleveland in 2017 I wasn’t mad because I was great full for what he did for the Cavs and the city and state of Cleveland, Ohio. I also have too much respect for Kyrie and I root for him and his team to this day. Kevin Love is amazing and I will always support him as well. Also I have to thank the Warriors for choking and blowing a 3-1 lead, seriously I really appreciate that. And in wise words of LeBron James “CLEVELAND THIS IS FOR YOU!”
that Chase down block is historic af, can't stop watching it
well they were chased down by warriors by literally demolishing them to a 4-1 loss
max power LK
Bill Russell KD is the 2nd best player in the NBA add him to any team with talent and they could reach the finals or atleast the conference finals, add him to a team who were already the best in the league and you get an unstoppable force.
max power i
Yeah but that just shows how much they needed another superstar to take down lebron and kyrie lol. So that's like 5 allstars and a deep bench vs lebron and kyrie and a shitty bench?? lol. They better had demolish them.
Hard to believe Golden State didn’t score a single point in this span.
It was only 3 minutes worth of game time, but I feel you

Yea but it was Kyrie that came up clutch. That block came before Kyrie's 3...... Kyrie doesn't get enough credit!!! Had it not been for that shot the drought would still exist!!
Dre Mckinney : The block worth 2 pts plus LBJ hit the free throw otherwise kyrie’s 3 makes it only a 1 pt game who knows what happens next.
LeBron's a Chasedown Artist. He gets after those blocks down court
Lebron James with the rejection
We won't see a single game as good as this one ever again. This was the absolute peak of sports
2010 nba finals game 7 was very good
0:51 game 7, everything on the line, and the 2 biggest players Lebron and Curry both help each other up after the foul. Great sportsmanship is always my favorite thing to see. Love it. Especially in such an intense moment as the last 3 minutes of a game 7 in the NBA finals. Awesome stuff
This is the nbas way of saying the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead

Jo Salgado fuck you
leenster TRIGGERED lmao
Calvin Odom TRIGGERED lmao
Jo Salgado how
Lebron chase down block with barely any stamina left was probably the best defensive finals play of all time.
Best play in NBA history
@@dmo490 chill
@@myskrillaa it’s gotta be up there I’m prob biased lmao but it’s gotta be one of the most iconic for sure
@@lingardinho1915 yes one of the most iconic but not best play in nba history
@@myskrillaa yeah I can agree with that
If LeBron made that dunk, it would have taken every drop of oxygen out of Oracle Arena
The most underrated play in the finals history is kevin love's lockdown D on curry to prevent the 3
I swear he clamped him up
Or James on Thompson
Yes he had that crack head defense
Axel Guzman what? Lol
The thing that makes me like love is that when he was trash at offensive the whole series he makes up for it at the end
Watching this live was one of the greatest privileges of my entire life. Greatest feeling ever.
FACTS
u a Dubs fan then?? or are you one of the few Cavs fan in Oracle?
@@katsu_papi Nah I was a Cavs fan that game. I've always hated the Warriors but I watched with a friend in one of the boxes, who was a Dubs fan
Facts
I'm 35 years old and it's one of the best feelings I had.. It was just amazing..
You arent human if that ending and interview doesnt choke you up. Best finals in nba history
I remember watching this game. I was 14. To this day when I watch , I still shed a tear.
The sheer passion, determination, and resilience the cavs showed throughout this series is such a motivating and inspiring phenomenon.

@@alex337x2 Yes sir. 21 now haha
who else saw this live on tv
Gabriel Rojas I didn't see it on TV because I was at the game
Gabriel Rojas everyone
Gabriel Rojas me
Everyone especially the warriors bandwagons.
I was at the movies with a friend and came home with him. I told him I had my money on the cavs, and him being a bandwagon curry fan, that got him pissed. right as we got to his house the replay of kyrie knocking down tat 3 was showing on tv. I was screaming in his face saying I told him so. Wish I would've watched the whole game though.
Man, that defense of Kevin Love was legendary
Like swear to goddd bruh
omm!!!!!
it was stupid choker job by curry. he wanted a switch on love cus he thought it was a mismatch when he already had kyrie guarding him.. it turns out he cant get a shot of cus of love's height LOL. love basically never gave him the 3 and allowed the drive. but curry was not taking the drive cus he knew they need a 3. thats why kyries shot was so big cus he forced the gsw to make a 3 back
javier García I've never seen Kevin move so quickly
Hi Bida The thing was that they didn’t actually need a 3. Kyrie hit that shot above 50 seconds mark. Had the warriors settled for 2 and played defense, make or miss they would still have gotten the ball back without needing to foul with so much seconds left to work with. But curry got greedy and cocky and wanted to respond immediately to kyrie’s 3.
2016. The greatest season in NBA history.
Still gives me goosebumps and a little tear haha. Meant so much to my city
Lebron promised cleveland a chip and promised LA a chip, he’s a man of his words
Goat shit
And those saying he's not the goat or top 5 of all time, LeBron led in all stats in this finals against a 73 win fuckin team
If
“Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4” ok ill stop I’m not a Lebron hater but that was a bit ridiculous
@@lmao9526 yet he ran away from the opportunity to win the game for Cleveland. I’ve never seen a supposed goat take out the ball in a game 7 to win the series.
Gotta watch this a least once a month
lol how may lebrons are their
Once a week.
Yall are trash shur yo stupid ass up
Stephen Curry if you don’t sit yo light skin ass down
Lebron James Sit yo ass down nigga we finna sweep yall this season
"I set out a goal, 2 years, when I came back to bring a championship to this city. I gave everything that I have. I poured my heart, my blood, my sweat, my tears to this game and... against all odds. Against all odds. I don't know why we wanna take the hardest road. I don't know why the Man above give me the hardest road. But it's nothing - the man above don't put you in situations that you can't handle. And I just kept that same positive attitude, like: instead of saying why me, just saying this is what He want me to do. And uh... CLEVELAND THIS IS FOR YOU. OHH!"
Who is watching this in 2024?
Girl: "What turns you on?"
Me: *Iguodala to Curry, back to Iguodala up for the layu-. OHH BLOCKED BY JAMES*
@Shaquille O'Neal ahahahah
Hahaha
@Shaquille O'Neal you jus mad cause bron and company got 1 for Cleveland
Legend !
@Shaquille O'Neal you d ok nt understand what it means to do something for your city cause your basically a nobody
"Blocked by James" will forever be an iconic moment. ❤
That 3:00 block by James is possibly the aesthetically greatest and most important block in the history of the game
3 things that made this finals incredible and memorable:
1. LeBron James' chasedown block on Andre Iguodala.
2. Kyrie Irving’s 3 pointer over Curry.
3. Kevin Love's amazing defense on Curry.
The block, the shot, the stop
curry choked hard
4.Warriors lost in their homecourt.
5.Cavs came back from a 3-1 deficit.
Tristan locked up Steph too
Love's defense on Curry.
That would've been the poster of the decade
of all time...
too bad
Harry L maybe
Troy Stewart Facts
Yeah I was like holy shit that would've ended the world if it went in.
For anybody reading this, whatever you are going through. All the pain. All the suffering. All of your mistakes. Don’t let the “devil” win. Don’t give up. Don’t lose your composure. We have all been down “3-1.” Now it’s time for all of us to turn this “series” around and make a comeback.

right on time Jay
Its now 2023 im still watching this gives me chills 🫡🫡🫡👑👑👑👑👑👑👑🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Whew!!! I went 2 and a half hours without being reminded that the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead. Thanks NBA!!
Eth D L
😂😂😂😂Take this W and my ring
nba is rigged SALTY!
Definitely ain't rigged. You think a boat load of hood ass niggas in the league are gonna be ok with never getting their shot at being the champ? You think all the moving parts necessary would all be silent? My uncle was involved in a mma league with the name "dog" in it ill say ...big organization ......and they fixed competitions between just 2 guys at a time and it still got out. Then went to bellator and they were fixing shit and it got out quick.Thats with just a few guys let alone teams of guys and thousands of moving parts
Noisey Stooges - what a clear and succinct decimation of conspiracy theories. Way too many people are weak minded. They fail to factor in human emotions and desires, they just think money is powerful enough to keep everyone quiet. Nonsense. Utter nonsense.
That "OHHH blocked by James!" never gets old.
“Back to Iguodala up for the layup… OHH BLOCKED BY JAMES” instant goosebumps
True. The Block is a classic.
Giannis is better than lebron but jordan ia another lvl that's we called God of basketball
@Roy John Lou Guzon lebron has 4 rings wdym?🤨
@@royjohnlouguzon21 you must be smoking meth hardcore to believe that
Sitting in my basement watching this game live and I remember hearing my neighborhood screaming so loud I could hear it everywhere. Everyone couldn’t believe we actually came back and won. This is my proudest moment as a Cleveland resident ❤
As a cavs fan during this series, that "warriors" chant was the most haunting sound to hear ... this video gave me chills 8 seconds in. Amazing series & Lebron is the best in the world 🐐
Who's Here after Nba Suspended Nba season
ME
Im from korea..I like Lebron~
Lol I gotta watch all the basketball I can
Ced Ric I’m here lol

NO ONE talks about the defense of Kevin Love on Steph in the ensuing play after the Kyrie 3....he was switched onto Steph and just locked him down, forced him to give up the ball, he got it back, locked him down again and forced him into a wild 3. Amazing
Ojitos hechiseros
He put the clamps on Steph he was dancing on k love and he really didn't bite on any of the p fakes and he was watching Steph lower body waist feet you know c ause u can tell when a player is gonna pull up by his lower body movement s. That's exactly how defense is supposed to be played it was so fundamentaly sound
People dont talk about this today at all lol Just LBJs block and how much they think Kyries shot saved him smh lol
He’ll yeah
Jake Johannesen The BLOCK. The SHOT. The STOP
Arguably the greatest Finals series post-2000
It's the greatest finals ever
Literally brings tears
all three of the cavs stars had their moment here
LeBron block
Kyrie shot
Love's switch onto Curry
Ryan Riley and don’t forget Lebron’s final clutch free throw to seal the game. The 4 point deficit made it almost impossible for Golden State to think they had a chance.
No one talks about Love but he made curry put up a terrible shot when no one else in the league could guard the man... clutch
@@JoeyBalgo FACTory!
Right
@Thomas Sankara when they were down 3-2??
That "CLEVELAND! THIS IS FOR YOU!" STILL gives me goosebumps.
“… OWWW!!!” 😂
He should had said Kobe this is for you! During the lakers 2020 championship
@@ardenaudreyarji😭😭 that owww was spicy as hell lol
I felt a little cringe when he said that😂
Super cringe, we all know James did it for JAMES, not Cleveland 😂
This and the 2010 finals I think will always be my favorite finals games it’s hard to top those two
Game 7 2010 Finals was like a 80s game, building brick cities
@@kennn30 thats what happens when two teams have championship level defense
That block isn’t what made him the goat, it was this series.
Who's watching after lebron won his nba championship with the lakers
👇
U know right hahaha
Yea I had to come back to this
You know it 😂
Me 😂
Oh yeah
he nearly ended donkeys career with that last dunk attempt, if he could made that dunk its like probably greatest highlight ever omfg
Yupp
yeah... but that spot was saved for the monster block to Iguodala...I'm not American, but still is the only thing it comes to mind when they ask me about this match
@Lionel Avila And that foul on Draymond should have been a Flagrant One Foul. He made absolutely no effort whatsoever to go for the ball and used excessive force to try to hurt LeBron. Draymond is a thug and I am glad we beat them that night and that year.
@Lionel Avila Exactly. We had Love and Kyrie out for the 2015 Finals. In 2017 and 2018, instead of being a man and facing a challenge, Durant takes the pussy way out and joins the Warriors.
I think if Kyrie and LeBron had stayed, we could have taken them this year and msybe even last year. They're vulberable this year.
Robert Stang warriors were lucky in all their rings
2015:no kyrie and love
2017:zaza injured kawhi
2018:cp3 injured
What makes this so amazing is how the refs just let them play these last minutes straight no calls. Just raw defense and pure offense
