After his failure in the 2011 finals lebron basically turned into God mode for the rest of his career. I'd argue that the 2011 collapse was a blessing in disguise because it made Lebron confront his weaknesses. He's been great in the regular season but come playoffs he turns into a different animal. If he needs a win, he will get his win (unless his teammates start choking like they did during game 4 of the 2023 WCF or JR smith in 2018).

The 2015-16 Warriors Team that went 73-9 was essentially the same roster from 2013-14 that went 51-31 with Mark Jackson as head coach and then in 2014-15 went 67-15 and won the championship with Steve Kerr as head coach (and the Cavs had them down 2-1 before losing 4-2). The story has evolved since that time to make it seem like the Warriors were already a "super team". They weren't. Steph was just beginning his ascension to what we know him to be now, and Klay was healthy and the second best shooter in the league, and they could just outshoot all of the competition while playing great team defense. Hell, they had Harrison Barnes and Andrew Bogut starting. Their roster top to bottom weren't world beaters, but they had great chemistry. When they added KD to the Splash Bros that was simply too much elite shooting for anyone to overcome. You had three guys on the roster capable of going off for 8+ threes in a game. 2019 was fate breaking up an unbeatable union. Well, fate and Draymond Green. lol

This film is pieced so well together… Appreciate greatness!

[@Zonerzone]

Great video with great tied together details! Took me back to kinda relive the moment and alot of ppl don’t realize how great this Finals was 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@ruslangarr393]

Cavs - Warriors rivalry is one of the best golden decades in basketball. MVPs - Champions going at it 4 straight years. Truly modern day rivalry.

[@8Scorpions]

One of if Not The Best rememberable videos I've ever witnessed, it gave me the same goosebumps as it did when the Cavs won.....Thank You for a perfect video..."THIS ONES FOR YOU CLEVELAND" 💯💯💯

[@nanami-vq5pi]

Klay’s face and his words really made me laugh 😂😂this dude thought they would 100% won with 3-1 but I’m sorry it’s Lebron and Kyrie you are facing lol

[@peepeepoopoo1042]

i never understood why or how people got emotional over sports until wathing the last 5 mins of gam 7,the second the confetti came out and lebron collapsed to the floor i started sobbing, even now watching a guy who came from nothing turn into the greatest player of all time and win a championship for his home team 7 years ago still makes me tear up, Legoat fr

[@serroche]

The best block in the history of the game, thanks so much for the effort of putting this thing together, nicely edited.

[@Willyboi23]

Giving me chills watching this video. That 2016 Finals was one GREAT series! As a Cleveland fan, it was such a monumental moment.

[@rodriquezanderson9256]

that reporter the real goat of this. without his "klay said" we dont witness MAD LEBRON.. greatest damn playoff by one person ive EVER seen

Goosebumps... As Cleveland native, I will always get choked up when I remember this epic 2016 comeback...

[@moneymoney3235]

Only one player ever will perform under the most pressure and lead BOTH FINALS teams in points, assist, steals, blocks, and rebounds. No other player will EVER do as much for his team and have the impact of a full team with 1 player. So insane. If mj or kobe did that we would never hear the end of it. Kobe and mj couldn’t do some shit like that against much weaker competition not the 73-9 team with the best shooters ever we’ve seen 😂😂

[@reemraw9956]

Dope video bro!! I relived it all over again. This was Goat level performance against the best team ever assembled. This cemented Lebron in my eyes 💯

[@michaelmamba1578]

The best finals I have ever seen and thank god I watched it

[@tonix9125]

Man were these great memories as a cavs fan. Still remembering tearing up when bron was hitting the free throws to seal the game and I knew all he needed to do was sink 1 of 2 to win us a chip!

[@jonm9501]

Absolutely tremendous video! Thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Well played sir 👏

[@markdorsey5150]

10:32 hahaha Bron was so locked in. He smelt the kill clear as day.

[@carelesscribo6058]

Not a Bron fan but respect to the compete level.

[@elmalloc]

dont worry nobody curry fan here either

[@funkyfreshkid08]

I loved this rivalry before the KD trade and was so hurt that GS robbed us of such a great rivalry after by adding KD. It just shows you how great GS was bc just what they organically built was great enough to compete and EQUAL with Bron + ky and those cavs teams.

[@lucasmonteiro600]

Me too. Stupid KD tainted both Bron and Steph legacies at the best.

[@shantyousif7338]

Without KD no way in hell GSW can beat LBJ the one that they won the 1st time LBJ was alone vs them full force and he still took them to game 6 🤣

[@hotwhiskey]

Thank you Nick. Very very well done.
