Warriors vs Cavaliers EPIC Finals Rematch On Christmas Day | NBA Classic Game

With another clutch shot, Kyrie Irving took the Warriors on a trip down memory lane. Irving dropped a short, turnaround jumper over Klay Thompson with 3.4 seconds left as the Cleveland Cavaliers rallied just the way they did in June's NBA Finals to defeat Golden State 109-108 in a marquee Christmas matchup that more than lived up to the hype.

This cavs team is my favourite team of all time. The cavs basketball was so fun to watch with kyrie and bron. Other players on the roster was also hella talented. It was so amazing to see them work together. Kyrie has been my favourite player and he is still my favourite player now. But people nowadays seem to forget who Kyrie is with what the media shows them. He still make amazing plays but medias dont post them anymore. All the good things kyrie do off the court are never shown to the public either. The media could really do something to our society.

if he thought about what he was saying, maybe people wouldn't hagte him so much, its like will smith, he is a great actor but makes stupid decisions that impact the way ppl look at him. I think he is an awesome basketball player and deeply respect him, but he can't make controversial statements like the ones that he did because that is all ppl look at, I think he does many good things tho.

As sick as I was back then of seeing these two teams, I have to admit I took for granted not only the unique uniforms that were worn every Christmas, but the competitive nature and willingness of nba stars to play games and put on a show when everyone was looking forward to it. Now on Christmas it’s never Lebron KD and Steph in a game, playing hard, instead it’s just Amir Coffey and Damion Lee in a regular season game that doesn’t mean much
