The story of this game was not JR Smith. It was not the Warriors winning. It was LeBron James turning in possibly the greatest single-game, individual performance in NBA history. This was 51 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists against Durant, Curry, Green, Thompson, etc. This was on the road in a place where almost no one has won in the postseason over the past four years. This was on the heels of 46-11-9 in Game 6 and 35-15-9 on 48 minutes in Game 7 of the ECF. This was so insanely unprecedented and unforgettable. I hope it's not wasted on history, because it was rare, rare brilliance.

[@sakibi.6458]

Real talk. One of the greatest performances I've witnessed in sports history. Hope they document it in his documentary

[@SmittySmith-ev8fo]

@@sakibi.6458 you must be young , its was good but over exaggerated I've seen better,. And he lost by double digits , also the absent in overtime. It's about how you finish. It still was a good performance.

[@sakibi.6458]

@@SmittySmith-ev8fo Cavs were clearly shaken. The Cavs as a team lost in OT flat out LeBron was disheartened even after trying to call a timeout on that rebound. I could go back and say LeBron should of could of etc what happened is that even with the superteam of the Warriors, he played sensational. Keep in mind no one else has done this ever in the NBA, and esp with the culmination of JR and the previous over turned call to blocking foul. I've been watching for 20 years not too young. Vince Carter was my fav growing up

キリト Kirito So you're not gonna say about hill missing a FREE THROW at the end, and jr running away like an idiot?

[@gsin1228]

R3aL J Capslock already summed that up. And if the refs didn't reverse the call, George Hill probably wouldn't have to shoot the free throws because the Warriors would be forced to foul at that point, as they are down. Remember that call gave Golden State 2 free points, so Cleveland would have been up by 1.

[@TheKanesi]

I feel sick watching those highlights. But tonight I definitely , surely saw the GOAT, no other player could’ve done what LeThanos did tonight. IDC if he lost but he’s just beyond great, no one expected Cleveland to be this competitive and it’s purely because of the greatest player the game has ever seen. 51 POINTS and clutch shot after clutch shot, refused to die in the 4th. I feel for him but he can comeback angry or dejected, and I’m hoping he gives us another Game 6 2012 ECF Dark LeBron performances after one of the greatest finals performances ever.

Most painful NBA Finals for me. 2014 and 2017 didn't hurt as much as this 😭

Incredible performance that won’t be forgotten. This is most memorable game from that series

[@quavezlester5792]

Look at this team ! He have carried multiple team that had no business in the playoffs there!!!

[@jaylynsacrez4450]

The best performance in finals. Obviously. But look at that cavs team. I cant even believed that team made it to the nba finals. It really is lebron vs 73-9(best in history) plus KD. Damn, have mercy.

[@f.m.3307]

1 vs 4 all-stars. Ridiculous

[@aivygile3569]

It's been 4 years, and this is the first time I clicked this video finally.. I didn't watch this clip because my heart breaks everytime I remember this game.. They were so close to win this game, but then the overturn call of the refs and JR's stupidity happened .. Bron tried so hard.. Very hard, just to be wasted in the air..

[@kingjamesfmvp]

He could drive, lay, and shoot however he wanted. Absolute brilliance.

[@lebronjamesbandwagon5970]

i feel like offensively, this was LeBrons absolute peak and he was at his apex here

Meh lebron played the whole game basically so ofc he would be tired at OT, he saw the L coming after jr smith's fuck up

[@mindyabizniz]

breaks my heart. every single time. wish i could watch his greatest game ever without that happening. if i feel this way i can't imagine how he felt. and i can't imagine the strength he's got to get over it and beast the way he's been this season. really hopes he gets a redemption chip or 2 in LA

Greatest performance in NBA history

[@MaxadBarre]

As a life long LeBron hater, this very game made me a fan. He was the ultimate underdog, and against all odds, he came out short in the most demoralizing way. His coach had a time out and didn't react, and so the rest was history. Truly a sad game that set the tone for the rest of the series.

[@merrillkitchens]

Refs super human preformance

[@kal11897]

NBA is pathetic. Refs vs Lebron. Its basically 1 on 8. 9 including JR. If you arent going to admit any fault in the games outcomes, at least open some sort of investigation into the refs. I have a feeling either theyre getting rich under the table or the NBA itself is just setting these games up.

[@alifitness9115]

Best finals performance ever

[@MrDvfdsv]

just feel so bad for the goat, delivered like the legend that he is but still couldnt win it...team mates played real solid but still not good enough ..and im partially blaming the refs here for the loss....i think they did a good job overall but three calls against LeBron towards the end....haters stop saying the nba is rigged for the King....youre stupid

[@bretmaverick9434]

Tank Evans goat = pass at the end of regulation to your bum point guard and score no baskets in OT

[@qazsmith113]

Get some better refs to rig the game, it was too obvious tonight NBA

[@ppheann]

A stack Mavs team, a well oil machine in the Spurs, and the high power Warriors team. Idk anybody that have to face such competition in the finals.

Hurts to watch this knowing how the game ends, but with Bron finally slowing down and thinking about retirement, its games like this i like to go back to remember that this dude was so great i actually thought he could beat that GSW team with that Cleveland team
