British Soccer fan reacts to Basketball - 2016 NBA Finals Mini Movie Cavs Defeat Warriors Part 2

[@toxygeneification]

The dude that interviewed Lebron (@10:28) was Craig Sager, an absolute legend who covered the NBA since the early '80s. This was Craig's first game back after going through treatment for leukemia which was unfortunately not successful and he died about six months after this game. I was fortunate to have worked for him for a while and got to know him a little. He took a few of us to a Hawks game once and it was one of the coolest experiences of my life. Like being a part of a royal family or something. Anyway, RIP Craig.

I'm glad you commented on Craig Sager very important to the lore of the NBA rip to an absolute legend

[@ValensBellator]

Just checking the comments a second ago to see if anyone provided this context, and I’m glad to see you did. It was so moving to see him manage to show up for the finals, and from what I recall the networks worked together to make that happen as he was a TNT guy.

The rest between games can vary from 2 to 4 days. 2019 finals Game 1: May 30 2019 Game 2: June 2, 2019 Game 3: June 5 , 2019 Game 4: June 7, 2019 ***Please watch "How the warriors built a superteam"

[@lwmarts]

10:56 the Golden State Warriors were located in Oakland, therefore, it was not a neutral site 12:46 game 7 isnt that common, but at the same time, it isnt that rare either 13:43 the Cavaliers had a 52-30 record (I believe?) and the Warriors had an NBA-record 73-9 season, (record that still stands) so the Warriors had the home-court advantage for the series (home-court advantage is determined by which team has the better win-loss record) 17:23 not only was it the Cavaliers' first NBA title in their 52-year history, but it was also the first pro sports championship for any of the teams in the city of Cleveland (Browns in the NFL, Indians in the MLB, Cavaliers in the NBA) in 50-plus years! 20:38 an NBA finals series, or any NBA playoff series would take about at minimum 1 week and a max of about 2 weeks.

[@lukem5396]

A few things to say for context: 1. Draymond Green wasn’t hurt during game 5, he was suspended automatically because he got a technical in game 4 and went over the allowed limit. 2. The reporter Lebron was talking after game 6 is Craig Sager, who was battling cancer and unfortunately passed away. 3. Curry was ejected in game 6 after he fouled out and he threw his mouthpiece in frustration. Crowd went crazy, not sure why they didn’t show that but you might want to look it up.

[@FroJo3]

Bcuz telling the truth of what happened slanders the narrative of this Cavs team being so "great". Makes a less compelling story. LeBron played great but the warriors blew this series more than the Cavs won it

One interesting side note is that Cleveland's head coach, Tyronn Lue, was a rookie. Can you imagine how amazing it was for him to lead his team to a championship in his first season as an NBA coach?

[@tinameadows462]

Love your videos! It’s pretty cool to see the perspective people have of American sports outside of America, and you are very respectful to the sports that you’re reacting to which is great! I think it would be interesting if you reacted to a comedy skit once a week or something too :) Bill Burr and Dave Chapelle would be great ones to start with, both are hilarious!

[@Odysseus1999]

Game 7 is the final battle, the D-Day of basketball. Nothing is more intense, and it’s where legends are made.

[@a00141799]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍Great reaction video. I can see you finally connect all the dots into what makes the NBA such a great sport to watch. The video captures all of the drama as it builds leading up to the final game. The producer of this video did a great job and it is really fun to see Luka experience the pinnacle of basketball it for the first time. This sport will someday be as popular as soccer. (Well maybe not..) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@ValensBellator]

Your comment about trading blowouts before a tight game 7 reminds me of the 2012-2013 Heat-Spurs series. Games 1-5 were all utter blowouts, but 6 went to overtime and 7 went to the last seconds. It is just so damn hard to close out a great team, and when you have two of them those clincher scenarios seem to go down to the wire.

[@WTDProductions]

The Warriors were located in Oakland, but the nickname for California is the Golden State. They just this season moved just across the bridge to San Francisco.

[@caleboconnors1919]

Alicia Kaffen the Indians series itself was nutty even though we lost

[@Chitownbullz21]

For your baseball reactions you should watch the 2016 Cubs vs Indians world series. Like the Cavs the Cubs were down 3 games to 1 and managed to comeback and win the world series in one of best game 7s in baseball history. Also until the cubs 2016 season, they havnt won a world series in 108 years being "the" longest winless title drought by a team in sports history

[@81ELDIN]

Now react to the 2006 finals between the Mavs with Dirk Nowitzki vs Miami w/ LeBron , Wade , & Bosh . WE NEED THIS FOR THE CULTURE !

[@ecot123]

That was 2011. 2006 was Mavs-Heat too, but with Shaq/Wade on the Heat

[@thereallyst]

The team with the better record during the season gets home game advantage. Golden State got 4 home games and the Cavs got 3.... Finals last about 2 to 3 weeks depending on how many games it takes to win the series. This one went from June 2nd 2016 to June 19th 2016. Also, this was the best Kyrie was and unfortunates will ever be.... RIP Craig Sager. RIP Fred McLeod.

[@shaneadams9131]

Golden State is in Oakland, California. California’s State nickname is the Golden State. The reporter interviewing Lebron when you said that seemed heartfelt had just come back from battling cancer I think.

DAY 9 RAPTORS VS 76ERS GAME 7 HIGHLIGHTS 2019

[@aspieatheist6040]

The Warriors play in Oakland; so game seven was played at the Warriors' home stadium. The Warriors got four home games in the series because they finished with the best record in the regular season. During the NBA Finals, teams usually get a day or two between games to rest.

[@Bedwetter4lyfe]

The guy in the colorful suit is Craig Sager, he passed away from cancer, but in his last year he insisted on still reporting on games, thats why James was very compassionate towards him.

[@fdhtheory7506]

I feel like it should be noted that it’s “52 years for any champion regardless of professional sport”. It was 50 some years between Chicago Cubs championships but the city of Chicago still had championships from the Bears, Bulls, White Sox and Blackhawks in that time. Since 1964, no Cleveland team of any sport had won a championship in 52 years. Coming back from 3-1 was about the most CLE thing that could’ve happened to end a drought like that.

[@bigussmokesus8866]

The team with the most wins in the regular season gets home advantage in game 7, 5, 2, and 1 and the other team gets the their games

[@EvilJif]

You should absolutely watch The biggest curse-ending moment in baseball history demands a deep rewind by SB Nation next. It happened the same year as this (2016) and involved Cleveland in the World Series. Instead they were the ones blowing a 3-1 series lead. Lots of baseball history in that series.

[@BooyaCS]

Some additional context. The Cavs were in the finals in 2007 (lebron's first stint) they lost to San Antonio in 4 games. Lebron left to go to Miami and won 2 titles in Miami (going to the Finals all 4 years losing to Dallas in the first year, winning the next 2 and losing to San Antonio his last season in Miami). He came back to cleveland and due to injuries they lost in 2015. 2016 proved a bit more successful but they couldn't get their stride. Coach Blatt was fired Midseason and Lue took over as Interim coach. The last Cleveland team to win a title (in any of the 3 major sports MLB, NFL, NBA was the Cleveland Browns in 1964. There were so many close moments, the Drive, The Fumble, Jordan's shot over Craig Ehlo, the Indians falling short in the world series in 1995 and 1997 and the Cavs in 2007 and 2015). When we were down 3-1 we had the inevitable feeling. We have been here before and we don't win these types of games let alone championships. Green fouled out and received too many Flagrants and was ejected in G5 and suspended (too many fouls) for G6. Curry got ejected in G6 when he thought a bogus foul was called and threw his mouthpiece in frustration. Then we had the run. Tied it up and went GS tied at 3-3 each. Winner take all. It was a good game but you got the inevitable feeling again when Igudola got the pass from Curry... You should react to the reactions from the Cleveland Fans after finally winning it. For a game not in Cleveland the arena was showing the game on the giant scoreboard. 52 years of frustration. 52 years of failure. 52 years of futility... Gone in 1 game. PS: for those interested in Karma after the stop when Kyrie was dribbling up the court and after he got the ball to Lebron after the foul JR Smith hugged him. In 1 glance JR's number 5, Kyrie's number 2 briefly showed 52. The number of years Cleveland didn't win a title. Similar to when the redsox finally won their world series and Damon and the other outfielder (name escapes me) were celebrating and there's a picture of them looking into the crowd one player wearing 19 the other 18. The last year the red sox won the world series prior to that win.

[@rohanbhagat979]

Golden State finished that season with a 73-9 record in the regular season which is the best record of all time. Also, in the previous round, in the Western Conference Finals (essentially the NBA semifinals), they came back from down 3-1 to Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and the OKC Thunder. That's part of the reason why Durant leaving to join Golden State the next season was so ridiculous, OKC was one game away from the finals just the previous year.

what makes it crazier is the cavs beat a 73-9 team. so the warriors in that season had a record of 73-9. the best record ever in a season, they beat michael jordans bulls team in 96, where they had 72-10 record. so 2016 warriors were the best team ever but got beat by lebron and the cavs.

Aye bro I just subscribed to your channel, love your interest in the nba. I’m a huge basketball fan in general. To answer your question on how long does the finals last. It rarely goes to 7 games unless it’s 2 dominant or a superstar may get injured or maybe just the heart and determination of said team. In the finals they never play back to back because they need rest and they also travel to the next city and they watch film on their opponents so it’s a day between so say game 1 is Monday, they won’t play game 3 until Wednesday if you get it so it’s like a day between
