1000%. Never seen a duo both locked in at the highest of levels. Didn’t matter who the other three players were on the court that night, they were not losing
100%. 82 points between the two of them. The rest of the team combined for 30 points. Their other starters underperformed. Kevin Love had 2 points in Game 5.
@@Owatupcuz I was talking when he came in the league I witnessed it for my self the man dropped 30 plus on us to get the win with a weak Timberwolves team
I still cry watching this moment.. this is the greatest comeback in nba history. The only one greatest of all time games. Imagine a 73-9 team and blew a 3-1 lead
This is the most anime and most awesome basketball get. Joins home team, loved by people, leaves home team, made villain by people, comes back to get the home team a championship, becomes a hero, becomes the goat
In hindsight it's such a bad look for the warriors. They got reverse swept and literally said "Alright we gotta bring in a cheat code or the Cavs are gonna give us hell for years." So they signed KD for 2 years to split em up. I thought it would've been fire if the Cavs got a ring the year D.Wade joined. Would've been a duo who won 2 rings on 2 separate teams together.
i wish i could watch the entire series for the first time again. Even all these years later i stil remember these plays like yesterday. still brings a tear to my eyes.
LeBron and Kyrie should've been co-MVPs for this series. The skill and degree of difficulty on the shots made by Kyrie was unreal, nobody else could've done it.
yeah Kyrie was out of his mind. Kyrie was the life of that championship. He never got the respect he deserved and would never get it playing alongside lebron and he knew that.
@@seriustraco that's a lie and deceptive. Kyrie was improving year by year and his natural progression continues through the lebron years. Then went to Boston and was put in shackles playing in Steven's system trying to be more of a point guard... until he went to BK now we see Kyrie in his natural form again with his natural progression. Im from Cleveland so I knew Kyries game from his 1st day in the league... nothing u can tell me. He just become a thing to u when lebron came back home. U didn't even give him any thought or probably thought he was "overrated" if u even had an opinion of him
Blame David Griffin. He tried to execute a 3-team-deal that would’ve shipped Kyrie to PHX in return for PG and Bledsoe. After that trade fell though, Kyrie requested out.
@@pericopinero1035 Damn. Kyrie was beloved in Cleveland and was gonna be his team cuz Bron said its his team now. WTH was Griffen thinking trying to dump Kyrie like that for. If anything he should've tried to move Love and got solid roll pcs that weren't at the end of their primes.
@@samuelgainey8336 david griffin was a dum9@$$ !d!ot, he didn't know what he was doing back then, he should've been fired by gilbert after knowing what he did before ky leaves. that 2018 cavs with kyrie could've beaten the warriors in 7 games
It's so dope, crazy they were only able to get one ring together but that championship was the best I've ever seen be earned, so much hard work and dedication & skill. One of the best duos EVER!!
This series is why Kyrie is my top 3 pg all time. Hate the media makes him look bad but I will always support and stick with him💯🙌🏼he really is a gifted baller
Are u serious...Imma born n raised Clevelander, so obviously I have appreciation for what Ky contributed to that chip. But c'mon bruh....I'll just thro some names out there...Isiah Thomas, Oscar Robertson, Steph, Magic, Tony Parker, Jason Kidd...I could go on but ky is a helluva player no doubt but, the aforementioned pgs actually CARRIED franchises. Didn't even mention Chris Paul or Steve Nash
@@216standonit4 no way dude kyrie is a great scorer nothing else great players aren't a disaster in several teams like kyrie has been and kyrie not a top 5 all time point guard period stop it
After game 6, I knew cavs would pull away with the series. Losing 2 games back to back crushes the spirit of the other team. Their mental energy had been drained
Best finals I’ve ever seen an I was so hyped when Bron came back to Cleveland a year before he came back I turned into a Kyrie fan an it ain’t changed 2 of my favorite players
52 years came back home mission accomplished ladies and gents Kyrie was masterful together could have gotten more chips but small picture won over the bigger picture. And destroyed a chance to surpass Jordan and pip
this was an amazing playoffs on the west especially, spurs thunder going 7 and then the thunder going up 3-1 on the warriors only to lose. this finals series was a great cap off to a crazy entertaining playoffs
Just a moment no one will forget even though Cleveland was down 3-1 I had a feeling they will come back and win the series in the championship I saw they had the momentum during the series
Is there any series that MJ carried his Bulls with these statistical all round numbers like King James 2016 Finals against GSW 29 points 11 rebounds 9 assist shooting 50% from the field coming from 3-1 deficit to win it all
MJ 1991 finals are better than that,he averaged:31.2pts/6.6reb/11.4ast/2.8stl/1.4blk on 55.8%FG,50%3pts and 84.8Ft(12 more percent than LeBron)and less turnovers than LeBron too.The 1993 finals where he average 41pts per game on 50.8%FG and 40%3pts.And the 1992 finals of MJ too.
I remember when Kyrie said he wanted to leave Cleveland after the 2017 season. I couldn't understand it and I thought he'd regret it. He hasn't been in the Finals since then.
@@jareljones3911 That's the wrong mindset. It's a team victory. Everyone knows Kyrie hit the winning shot in game 7. Isn't the whole goal the NBA championship, not individual glory?
Lebron brought out best in kyrie, he made him perform at all time high because lebron is brings that out. Sad inagine what kyrie and lebron could have done together.
These fools really went at it 4 years in a row. This was my Celtics-lakers but damn I wish the cavs were able to match the warriors again when they got KD smh
This is the series Kyrie became my favorite player to do what he did on that defense with Klay as his primary defender best on ball defender in the league at the time just crazy then iggy Livingston Green so many long good defensive players just sliced and diced through that team love Kyrie man never seen anything quite like him in the nba and I’ve been watching for 30 years
Kyrie played terrible actually until Game 3 where he activated GOD mode. Lebron-Kyrie one of the nastiest duo of all-time too bad Kyrie was immature back then and their tag team didn’t last long.
Kyrie was immature for leaving a team that was already trying to get rid of him? David Griffin was planning on shipping him to PHX in a 3-team trade in return for PG and Bledsoe. Kyrie didn’t request a trade until AFTER the deal fell through.. Google is free.
@@pericopinero1035 Kyrie called Lebron the year after that and apologized because he realized how tough it is to be the team leader. He even said in ESPN that he always knew he would leave CLE someday and it's time for him to grow as a professional so Dan Gilbert has nothing to do with that. He failed though. Nice try though. Google is free.
2015 Curry was a beast. In one season he solidified himself as the greatest living shooter in NBA history. They had to change how the game was played just to stop this guy. NBA will never be the same.
Must say I appreciate how Cleveland best players during that stretch were ones they drafted. Wish the Wiz could’ve accomplished something like this smh. Best finals performance by two teammates I’ve ever seen. Need to look up Shaq and Kobe’s numbers but from what I can remember this was it

I believe
Lebron was still on the Heat in 2014. Kyrie and Love were hurt the same 2015 playoffs and Lebron still nearly won it all by himself.
