[@frankiethefrog1752]

@@zigzag942 Curry 2nd all time with his 0 FMVP’s 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Come on now...when he leads a finals series for both teams in point, assists, rebounds, blocks,steals or wins FMVP. Without Kyrie and love getting hurt in 2015 and KD joining after they blew a 3-1 lead in 2016 to make it completely mismatched = 0 rings. But hey the salary cap bump that year and the 🐍 colluded just right for him to grab 2 rings after his 1st, beating a team missing their second and third best players. It is what it is though, he’s a champ but nowhere near 2nd greatest all time.

[@plex4144]

[@219sciguy]

They weren't really evenly matched, practically everyone had the warriors winning. It took a truly great 3 games to win, and it probably wouldn't have happened again. Durant just removed Cleveland Victory from the realm of possible outcomes.

[@JSSTyger]

@@219sciguy Agreed. I gave up on the Cavs after Game 2. The matchups were horribly in Golden State's favor. Draymond Green's absence in Game 5 really killed the Warriors in that game. It was the final 3 games where LeBron and Kyrie became the Justice League and went superhero on their asses.

[@gtcover7870]

@Issa Latar Dude Love was not even useful in that entire series like seriously I didnt even know he was there and seriously smith?, The Cavs were a 2-man team. When those 2 are not on the floor, the Cavs would turn into a lottery team for just a moment.

Almost all of the time, the saying "losing hurts more than winning feels good" is accurate. But not this time. LeBron and the Cavs giving Cleveland a title after 52 years was greater than the three losses. Obviously not historically, but just in the manner in how they did it. That Warriors team is a top 10 all time team even without a title, like the 2007 Patriots. But they lost to a team of destiny.

[@dusk6159]

What's even crazier is that the greatness and destiny of this Finals tied and succeeded the 2013 Finals-the motion of Bosh's rebound to Ray Allen's all time biggest shot already. This also greatly goes to the Spurs and Warriors' testament, I don't know how they could beat such top all time teams like those two. Two very similar but especially top all time Finals.

Yo I was in a bar in downtown Cleveland when this all went down. It was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Alot of people were crying and hugging (especially fathers and sons seeing their first championship together). Everyone went out into the streets and celebrated, You could hear the entire city roaring in adulation when you went outside. total strangers hugging and high fiving, playing music out of there cars and dancing in the streets. It was just an overwhelming positive vibe. What a night.

0:56-1:06 - You know it's over for GSW when KLOVE defends Curry like this brah

[@OrgasmicFailure]

If only everyone defended him like that the whole season, he wouldn't have had such a crazy season. It doesn't matter who you are you should always defend like that every game. Goes to show how little effort 90% of the players put in on defense in the regular season. Just saying. Curry was just part of a 5 man crew when it came to the finals because the cav's D actually know how to defend and guard. Also, a bit off topic but people have to stop giving full credit to James.. it's a 5 man team and everyone did their equal part. Calling him a king is ignorance at its finest.

[@HaoUDoin-fd4mn]

Kotov A lot of guys tried to defend Curry like that but it's hard when GSW gets away with illegal screens. And they did it all season. Curry maybe a skilled shooter but it's devastating for anyone to lose him via moving screens. Thank God the playoffs are a lil different especially the finals.

[@OrgasmicFailure]

Yoran E. Jit Playoff refs are no better than regular season when it comes to corruption, but you're right too. I'm not discrediting Curry or James but their team mates did equally as much work. Curry hit some pretty good shots but it's no coincidence it didn't happen in the finals.

He is the best all-around player ever in the NBA and he has so earned everything he’s accomplished. What a career. Congrates LeBron!

This was probably bigger than the 2004 BoSox championship or the 2016 Cubs win. The whole city went without ever winning a championship, and suffered heartbreak after heartbreak.

[@Dexter.BoyGenius]

I came back here after seeing Klay talk about this game on All The Smoke. I ended up watching the whole video and tearing up all over again when I saw those moments after the final buzzer. There's just something poetic about seeing Bron break down on the court in tears, surrounded by teammates, loved ones, cameras, reporters, etc. and then Ty Lue sitting alone on the bench, sobbing into a towel. Two men who had been doubted by the media so much, especially that year against the 73-9 Warriors, had just gone to war together and WON, against all odds. It was an incredible finals--not just for Cavs fans, but for fans of the NBA.

[@slylancey]

1:48 In another timeline, Lebron makes this dunk over Draymond which silences the entire arena. The Cavs winning this Finals was already gonna be a legendary moment because of the 3-1 deficit, their near-century long drought, and Lebron's promise to Cleveland. That dunk would've been just as iconic as MJ's final shot as a Chicago Bull imo
