Final  

It's tradition to watch this every once in a while

The three things that lead the cavs to a title 1. OHHH BLOCKED BY JAMES 2. Irving on Curry one on one 3. Love’s lockdown defence

I don’t know why it took me 7 years to notice but the last 3 minutes were BRICK CITY! Thank God Kyrie hit the dagger! 🙏🏼

Imagine if Bron had that dunk over Green. Imagine how crazy Quicken Loans Arena would’ve been.

when both were tied at 89 and none of them could score, I know everyone's nerves were at its peak. that 2 minutes & 36 seconds would give anyone an anxiety attack. WHAT AN INCREDIBLE SERIES.

It’s crazy how no one appreciates LeBron for doing the impossible: putting on a shirt without taking off his cap

1. The Block by James, 2. The Shot by Kyrie, and 3. The Defence by Love. Some crazy shit🔥

That Love defense against Curry is legendary.

Kevin Love became DPOY for a few minutes in this game

Kevin Love for 10 second transformed into the defensive player of the yesr

“It’s over it’s over Cleveland is a city of champions once again, the cavaliers are nba champions” such a iconic moment

I broke down crying watching this live…my Dad teared up. My Sister (RIP) watched it from work and called me. I’m just happy my Dad and my Sister got to see this. My Sister passed unexpectedly a month later, and I lost my Dad in April of last year to cancer. I tear up when I see this still because my Dad and I watched it together, I miss him and my Sis so much. But they got to see this. I wish my Grandpa had got to see it but he passed the last day of 2008.

I still wish to this day he made that dunk, literally would’ve been a top 5 dunk of all time

K-Love's shutdown of Curry is so underrated. Steph couldn't shake him. Hell of an ending to a game.

As we watch the 2023 NBA finals, I can’t help but think this is the greatest NBA finals comeback of all time. Down 3-1 to the greatest regular season team of all time, winning the last 2 games in Oakland, just absolutely incredible. I don’t know if there will ever be a greater NBA finals comeback.

I miss 2016…time goes by too fast and lately I’ve felt like life has been punching me in the mouth. I like to return to this, remember better times, and watch every so often to stay motivated.

Remember: there was only 4 points scored in this entire video

*In a parallel universe, LeBron finished that dunk over Draymond and it is remembered as the greatest play in NBA Finals history*

easily the greatest finals of all time, I find myself to come back and watch this every once in a while and it always gives me chills, the beauty of sports is indescribable you simply have to experience it

this is literally the best championship ever in NBA history everyone is on their prime making crazy plays

When Lebron helped curry up in the last minutes That’s true sportsmanship and people still hate him

5:40 “Irving finds love” Good for him

Something about that Bron and Curry moment at 50 seconds in… two dudes, all time greats, Game 7 head to head in a match up for the ages. They both know one of them is going to be a Champion in 2:50, but they try to help each other up and Bron gives Curry the love tap after the foul. I don’t know why but I get chills from it every time.

I'll never forget this night, after the buzzer I was literally on my forearms and knees overcome with emotion, and after a while I looked up at the TV to see LeBron in the EXACT same place as me... I kept repeating one thing, the phrase of the night was "They f'n did it!"

Watching this live was one of the greatest privileges of my entire life. Greatest feeling ever.

The Cavs big three really showed up in the final minutes Lebron's block on iggy Love's defence on curry And then kyries big 3 pointer

blocked by james will forever give me chills no matter how many times i come back to this

People might not like Kyrie nowadays, but man, that might’ve been the coldest shot in NBA history. Game 7 on the road and if you miss the momentum shifts to the Warriors and crowd erupts. Obviously the block was amazing too, arguably the best chase down block in history as well but that shot was something different

Probably the best nba finales of this generation hands down

73-9 and 3-1 lead made this game one of the most memorable finals ever.

No matter where I am in life, I always find a way to come back to this video

The block by James & the shot by Irving..still giving me chills everytym I watch this 2016 NBA finals...

who else saw this live on tv

If only this was done on the Cavs home court, the crowd would’ve went insane

Imagine going down 3-1 in the NBA finals, teams being 0-32 at the time, against arguably the best team in NBA history, and making one of the greatest comebacks ever and winning a championship for a city that hasn’t seen a team win one in 52 years…greatness

Hands down the best major sports championship series of all time.

that Chase down block is historic af, can't stop watching it

I'm still mad to this day that Lebron didn't end Green's career with that dunk

I have revisit this atleast twice a year.

Not sure we can ever fathom how hard these dudes where playing. The level of work these guys put in through these series will never be forgotten. Glad I got to see history

Gotta watch this a least once a month

Are we gonna ignore the fact that Kevin Love had Steph on solitary confinement?

This was unreal to watch live. As a cleveland fan for such a long time, this was the greatest sports moment of my life. Have to come back and watch it every year to relive the greatness

Most tense game 7 ever. As LeBron fan this still bring tears in my eyes

Hard to believe Golden State didn’t score a single point in this span.

For me its a holiday to hear “ OH BLOCKED BY JAMES ” every year

0:51 game 7, everything on the line, and the 2 biggest players Lebron and Curry both help each other up after the foul. Great sportsmanship is always my favorite thing to see. Love it. Especially in such an intense moment as the last 3 minutes of a game 7 in the NBA finals. Awesome stuff

To hear Doris fighting tears while interviewing LeBron lets you know how long she’s been covering LeBron. All the locker room experience. All his worse and best moments. She genuinely felt how much this meant to him and It gets me every time. We as fans are happy for him too, but imagine being Doris in that moment is al I’m saying.

This will forever be my favorite NBA finals. It can't get any more bad ass than Kyrie Irving and Lebron James taking down a 73-9 team from a 3-1 deficit.

never forget Kevin Love locked down Curry

Who is watching this in 2024?

That Block That Shot That Defence The 3 Super Stars all playing thier part in the final 2 minutes is a thing of Beauty.

One of the most satisfying wins of NBA finals history

The most underrated play in the finals history is kevin love's lockdown D on curry to prevent the 3

Almost 2024 fun to come back and watch this. Crazy just how many 3's GS missed at the end yikes.

Seven years ago today. I remember it like it was yesterday. It is, without question, the greatest moment in sports history. The Miracle on Ice has nothing compared to this. As someone who has spent their entire life in Northeast Ohio, I remember yelling around my house that hell had frozen over, and texting my mom’s friends (I was 12 and didn’t have a phone then). This was a day all of Cleveland and NE Ohio had been waiting for for over half a century. It’s easily the best day of my life

LeBron with "The Block" Kyrie with "The Shot" K Love with "The Stop" The entire big 3 showed up in these last minutes of this game

It’s perfect: •Lebron James block •Kyrie Irving triple •Kevin Love perfect defense The Big 3 balance is simply perfect.

We won't see a single game as good as this one ever again. This was the absolute peak of sports

I’m not a big NBA fan, I mostly watch European soccer. But i remember being 12 years old watching this game, and being absolutely mesmerized. “BLOCKED BY JAMES” still gives me goosebumps. Just an incredible, hair-raising final few minutes of basketball.

If Lebron had made that dunk on Draymond it would have been historic

Whew!!! I went 2 and a half hours without being reminded that the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead. Thanks NBA!!

God still to this day I can’t believe the Cavs won. I was born and raised in Cleveland Ohio and rooted for the Cavs before these finals and I root for them still till this day. This is one of those games that you remember exactly where you were at, I was at my grandmas house and my eyes were glued to the tv while I sat in front of it on the floor . I remember being so nervous and scared that the Cavs were going to lose again because when they lost in 2015 I was devastated so I knew this year we had to win. I and everyone else watching witnessed history live, but as someone who actually is from Cleveland and suffered the lost throughout the years, seeing them finally win our first championship in any sport since 1964 was amazing. I remember the block, the shot, Kevin Loves defense on Curry, LeBron’s free throw and the sound of the buzzer going off better than the back of my hand. When LeBron had that iconic block on Iguodala I screamed of joy and when Kyrie hit that game winning 3 I started to celebrate but I was still terrified, until we were up by 4 points with 10.6 seconds left of the game. The Warriors had the ball with 10.6 seconds left of the the game and Cleveland was up by 4 it was at that moment I knew the Cavs won their first ever NBA championship. The Cavs were the underdogs and they were going against a 73-9 team, no one though they could’ve came back from a 3-1 lead but as a Cavs fan I knew that the could do it and I believed in them. This game was more than just basketball. This game was history, the first team in NBA history to comeback from a 3-1 lead in the finals, the Cavs first ever NBA championship, Cleveland’s first championship in 52 years and it was the best night of my life. I remember when the clock ran out and the buzzer went off I started to celebrate and jump around, I poured water and beer on me just because how happy I was and I didn’t know what to do. I remember the day after I had to check my phone and see if the Cavs actually won and I was so happy that it wasn’t a dream. To me as a Cavs fan this made LeBron the Goat, he did something no one else ever did. He came back after 4 years and told Ohio that he was going to give us a championship and he sure did. This game made me respect LeBron as a player and person forever and he will always be the GOAT in my eyes. When LeBron left Cleveland in 2018 I wasn’t mad because he gave us a championship like he said he was going to do. In fact when LeBron left I was a big LeBron fan by then and I told my self wherever LeBron goes I go and rooted for him ever since despite he’s not on Cleveland anymore. When Kyrie left Cleveland in 2017 I wasn’t mad because I was great full for what he did for the Cavs and the city and state of Cleveland, Ohio. I also have too much respect for Kyrie and I root for him and his team to this day. Kevin Love is amazing and I will always support him as well. Also I have to thank the Warriors for choking and blowing a 3-1 lead, seriously I really appreciate that. And in wise words of LeBron James “CLEVELAND THIS IS FOR YOU!”

If LeBron made that dunk, it would have taken every drop of oxygen out of Oracle Arena

Putting the ad in right before the LeBron block is criminal.

If kd didn't join the warriors this rivalry would've been better

You arent human if that ending and interview doesnt choke you up. Best finals in nba history

Man I wish LeBron would’ve finished that dunk on Draymond 😂😂

Lebron chase down block with barely any stamina left was probably the best defensive finals play of all time.

I remember watching this game. I was 14. To this day when I watch , I still shed a tear. The sheer passion, determination, and resilience the cavs showed throughout this series is such a motivating and inspiring phenomenon.

Still gives me goosebumps and a little tear haha. Meant so much to my city

Man, that defense of Kevin Love was legendary

That "OHHH blocked by James!" never gets old.

"Blocked by James" will forever be an iconic moment. ❤

That "CLEVELAND! THIS IS FOR YOU!" STILL gives me goosebumps.

That would've been the poster of the decade

This was perhaps the moment in spprts history that impacted me the most. What a champion.

That block isn’t what made him the goat, it was this series.

3 things that made this finals incredible and memorable: 1. LeBron James' chasedown block on Andre Iguodala. 2. Kyrie Irving’s 3 pointer over Curry. 3. Kevin Love's amazing defense on Curry.

This is the nbas way of saying the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead

As a cavs fan during this series, that "warriors" chant was the most haunting sound to hear ... this video gave me chills 8 seconds in. Amazing series & Lebron is the best in the world 🐐

I watched this live now watching it again after years and it stills makes me cry of joy lol . Best finals ever 🔥

My Brother Aaron, 25 years old, died Saturday June 18th, the night before this game, in a tragic motorcycle wreck. Watching this at my cousins house Sunday night, this game and especially the last 3 mins took me out of my extreme grief if only for a moment. I will always owe Lebron James / Kyrie Irving and the Cavs team for that special time. Lebrons speech at the end especially hits home for me as I rewatch this. That is power of sports.

I am watching a replay that happened 7 years and i am feeling the pressure. I cant imagine what was going through Cavalier fans in that Arena that night

For anybody reading this, whatever you are going through. All the pain. All the suffering. All of your mistakes. Don’t let the “devil” win. Don’t give up. Don’t lose your composure. We have all been down “3-1.” Now it’s time for all of us to turn this “series” around and make a comeback.

Crazy how no one could score for 2mins 40secs. The biggest stage, maximum tension, players missing shots they've easily made throughout their careers... What a series!

Man....If Lebron would've made that dunk

For some reason I still get anxious watching this as if it’s Live. 😂😂 You just had to have been there, What an amazing comeback and win By Cleveland. ❤❤ 🙌🏾

Still brings me tears. I cried like a baby when they won.

he nearly ended donkeys career with that last dunk attempt, if he could made that dunk its like probably greatest highlight ever omfg

Why am i so tense even though i know the outcome

Arguably the greatest Finals series post-2000

You don’t understand how many bandwagoning Warriors fans were inside that building. All former Kings fans 😹😹

Girl: "What turns you on?" Me: *Iguodala to Curry, back to Iguodala up for the layu-. OHH BLOCKED BY JAMES*

Looking back on this you can see how serious, cautious, intense, and technical this all was. Everyone was so locked in. Bron didn't even complain when he was fouled on that lay up. He kept it moving because the only thing that mattered was getting a real bucket and playing true championship defense! They left it all out there. All of the emotions and nonsense was nowhere to be seen in this final 3 minutes. From anyone.

This was the first nba game I ever watched and nothing has ever come close to the excitement I felt watching it.

Sitting in my basement watching this game live and I remember hearing my neighborhood screaming so loud I could hear it everywhere. Everyone couldn’t believe we actually came back and won. This is my proudest moment as a Cleveland resident ❤

I was so happy I got to watch this live. The “BLOCKED BY JAMES!” The “Cleveland is a city of champions once again” The “CLEVELAND; THIS IS FOR YOU” The four point play. The 3-1 to 3-4. I remember game seven, it was the most nerve racking game I had ever watched. What a time to be alive.

Imagine if that dunk went in. I get chills just thinking about it.

You can truly feel the nerves and pressure from every single second even years later. What an incredible story
