St. Vincent-St. Mary: NBA Finals Game 7, Cleveland Cavaliers v. Golden State Warriors

LeBron James' alma mater watches the final moments of the game that ended a 52-year championship drought for Northeast Ohio

[@navin4984]

This is the people and the place that built that man who everyone these days call King James. I love this story.

[@samalexander6729]

Im watching from 2020, still have the chills.

[@zekekasichiro-smith4725]

Same same. After 2016 finals. All finals til the 2019 one was not exciting and heartbeat to watch.

[@aqeelj1585]

And now Brons About to win his 4th!

[@jdelgado5443]

To have a whole state behind you is an amazing thing

drdizzly so watching the Cavs in Cleveland on a projector means you're not a bandwagon?

[@unfriggenbelievable]

Hey no, celebrating in LBJ's school, he was a star at the school in his freshmen year.

[@1godchild811]

Congratulations Cleveland Cavaliers, Akron, State of Ohio and fan base across the world!!! You are all are the 2016 NBA World Champions!! Enjoy!!!

[@kevinzelaya2068]

Glad to see Cleveland ended it's horrific championship drought. I imagined 50 plus years without a title for Cleveland. Finally, people of NE Ohio celebrate a major sports championship. People celebrated in LeBron James' Catholic School in Akron that the wait is over. Everybody is so excited that the Cavs finally win the 2015-16 NBA championship after trailing 3 to 1 in the finals. I think that the 2016 NBA Finals will be the greatest NBA Finals of all time.

[@amirb2753]

I get chills every time!

[@BasicBodThor]

If Bron had made that dunk....damn man that would have been insane

[@jojowhite9041]

I've watched dozens upon dozens of these fan reaction videos because I've waited so long to finally see a championship for the 'land but this one was sooooooo cool. The King's high school gym and the high school pep band playing. This was a special video and thanks for sharing.

[@MakoyS20]

Do you know the name of the song / music theyre playing?

[@mnewby82]

Wow, that was great story book ending. LeBron's old high school watching and rejoicing. I'm a Bulls fan but The Cavs won deserved that championship win. Came back from being down 3-1 to win the series That franchise came a loooooonnnnnngggg way. The camera has been on LeBron since his days at that school playing basketball and football as a wide receiver (and that football workout discipline has really paid off). That game reminded me of Game 6 of 2013 Finals between The Heat and The Spurs. Instant classic! The city of Cleveland are a very loyal die hard fanbase and deserved that win.

[@jaygeezy1021]

This video gave me chills fr to see inside the gym where it all started and how much they love Lebron actually put a big smile on my face

[@thanrl]

This is the greatest video I have ever seen.

[@granthatcher]

Man I'm not even a big Lebron fan but this brought some tears to the eyes lol The energy in there was amazing

[@mikefm4]

6 years later I still get a tear to my eye. What a magical year

[@jescorpizo7614]

4 years later and that "CLEVELAND!" rings different knowing that this is heard from inside the gym that made him King

[@ryanbeckham8109]

That was the night the world finally realized how overrated Stephanie Curry truly is. I'm so glad Cur-sanity is over with. LONG LIVE THE KING #23

[@billklaven7093]

Im a guy who would take Jordan over Lebron, but I at least think lebron deserves to be in the conversation of all time greats because he has earned it over a long period of time. Yet people were in a hurry to crown the guard who couldn't play defense, score in the paint, or play well under pressure. Overall bandwagoners are just annoying

[@jojowhite9041]

For me, there's only one #23...and we call him "THE KING"!

[@flipballer3475]

Ryan Beckham he was not over rated, he really is so good but that night , lady luck smiled for the cavs so it happened

[@ladyj28]

Flip Baller Yes Curry is good, but JAMES is GREAT. A complete player that can play all positions. Curry can't do that. #KING23

[@flipballer3475]

Lady J no argument in that. I'm a lebron fan. Lebron cam play all positions but he can't be good in all those positions. He can play point but not in the caliber of Paul, Irving, etc.. he can play center but will be overwhelmed by bigger and taller centers. The only positions he can dominate are 2,3 and maybe 4. In today's NBA he can play multiple positions but in the 90's era or MJ era he can't do that specially that Shaq was the most domineering center and a lot of 7 foot centers like Hakeem, ewing, Robinson etc, are so dominant. Pg's are much wiser too. And then there was Mj too

[@Vhalskie]

Watching it from OCTOBER of 2020 and it still gave me chills..it felt like it happened just yesterday🤯

[@bubbagames6196]

I'm watching in 2024 and still have tears and chills. The GOAT!!!!

[@seyahtan24]

LeBron really had a great basketball narrative. From ohio. High school star. Number 1 pick by the cavs and played like an mvp every season. Went to miami. Hated by everyone. Won ring 2 rings. Came back to the cavs and ended the 50 year drought for the city of cleveland. Damn.
