The 2016 Christmas game was the best NBA Christmas game of the 2010s ever. Both teams had very gorgeous rosters, and it was fun with a heated battle that reminded me of the 2016 NBA Finals.
Richard Jefferson with those two monster dunks on the last stretch of the game was so unexpected 😂 The Cavs x Warriors games during this time are all classics
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.
This gives me so much memories. The rivalry with the cavs and GSW was so fun to watch. All of those years, I had cried once when the lost to the cavs, there were a lot of fun moments back then.
To think that two of the Greatest NBA players in Bron & KD had not matched up again until recently is insane! 5 years smh. What an INCREDIBLE basketball game! Nostalgia 💯💪🏽
The greatest Christmas game by far I was at this game this felt like a finals game easily the energy in the arena , the history between the two nothing better. Just so blessed to be able to have been there and witnessed it in person.
Kinda was the best basketball possible lol. To this day, have not seen a better time of basketball playing than that stretch between 2015-2018 and it was mostly because of these 2 teams.
I can’t believe this is considered a classic now. I was still in high school and I missed the game Christmas day didn’t even know who won, next day I go to a pizza joint and watch it at the bar restaurant empty just me and my girl at the time. Great childhood hoops memory
My first NBA game! It was an unforgettable experience watching it with my family on Christmas. Since I’m from Europe, I don’t often get the chance to watch the games, so I’ll always cherish this classic.
@@Guy_drew I bet you're one of them flamboyant Bronsexuals aren't you. 💅 Or are you a K-D'rider? Wouldn't surprise me in the least if you're from San Francisco. Don't be late to your pride parade, queen.
For those of you reading this comment, it's okay, it's normal to feel lonely sometimes, if you're going through tough times, keep trying, but never give up,
I remember watching this on TV with my dad. The rest of our family was catching up on sleep from staying up too late on Christmas Eve the night before. We both went crazy when 'Bron dunked on Draymond. I was home for winter break during my sophomore year of college. Simpler times.
This game had some of the greatest dunks in a Christmas day game of all time LeBrons 2 handed over draymond Richard's Dunks KD's insane sequence dunk Love that kind of basketball
The trust LeBron had with Kyrie is something special. I wished what happened did not happen, it hurts as a Cavs fan. I miss those two together. Could've done more together. I miss Kyrie in Cavs jersey.
Kyrie hit that game winner on a 6 foot 7 inch Klay Thompson in his prime before the injury, whe he was considered one of or if not the best two way player in the game, and Kyrie finessed the shit out of him for another game winner for the second time in a row to beat the warriors even with Kevin Durant in his prime, Kyrie is a top 3 clutch NBA player of all time in my knowledgeable opinion, and he has been the most clutch player in the NBA ever since that legendary 2016 series to beat the 73-9 warriors.
WOW! Watched this again! That Duo of LEBRON AND KYRIE was so deadly. If it wasn't for kyrie's pride, the cavs would have won several championships, 3peats, Back to back
Probably the best regular season game in the 2010's, also Thunder vs Warriors Steph from the logo (Curry from way downtown bang, bang) the previous season.
I don't care what team you're on... 1:28:32 - 1:28:44 puts the fattest smile on my face. I know teammates celebrate all the time as they should, but it just hit different.
Could be my favourite game of all time. Godamm greatness under so much pressure. Craig sager about to die watching maybe the best game of his storied career adds a layer too. “Thanks a lot for entertaining me” Fucking magical stuff
Kevin love such a smart leveled headed player. Most guys that get dunked on get all pissed off or try to argue. This man grabs the ball chucks it full court for two like screw ur celebrating. Bigger man than me id wanna fight after that

Peak basketball! Great intensity, amazing defense, unselfish team play and individual greatness.
AGREED.The passing by both teams was GREAT.Rarely see 2 teams passing so GOOD.
Hell no. This was when KD ruined basketball. Everyone was clearly outmatched. The fact the Cavs won shows how great Bron and Kyrie are.
Compared to now 😂 bro this wasn’t a great era.
@@powerbadpowerbad you probably refering to other nba games?
@@robnduhcutI hope your talking about after KD joined the warriors because before that was a really good era of basketball, bad take
The 2016 Christmas game was the best NBA Christmas game of the 2010s ever.
Both teams had very gorgeous rosters, and it was fun with a heated battle that reminded me of the 2016 NBA Finals.
lkok
jerseys were iconic too
Bruh Deandre liggins was a starter for the Cavs!!! 🤣🤣🤣 that’s ANYTHING BUT gorgeous as far as rosters go
It’s the best Christmas game not just the 2010s
both teams? baha
One of the best games ever

I remember watching this game live. The tickets were so expensive and we had horrible seats. 😂 Still best game I ever been to
I don’t care if I was in the nose bleeds what a game too be at!! NBA classic right here.
It doesn’t matter where your seat is at. To be in this room is such a memory. You watched one of historical teams match up in live.
Some of the best basketball i’ve ever seen live

“The best”
this rivalry was amazing to see.
it was a rivalry until KD wanted to get a piece as well. he ruined a pure rivalry... the chances were never even after he joined the warriors
@@kristofkovacs9834 cry, if it was the other way around y’all would’ve justified the move
@@slenderman9396 Even if KD join Cle, people would have still said the same thing. It's clear that your Warriors fan.
@@slenderman9396 you’re just a Warriors fan, KD going to Golden State ruined quite possibly a great rivalry in the NBA
@@slenderman9396 that was a puss.y move and you know it. where has he been since then? exactly.
December 25, 2024 anyone?
Am here after the masterclass of Curry vs Bron again yesterday my friend 💥💥🔥🔥🔥
Of course

Steel watch this 💪🏻
Had to come back for bron’s bday
Richard Jefferson with those two monster dunks on the last stretch of the game was so unexpected 😂 The Cavs x Warriors games during this time are all classics
I see why Kyrie left. That man eas definitely the best player on that team but no one gave him his respect.
Not that MLK game. That one was pretty bad
@@JuliusTurner-hm6ff That's a strange take considering he's never won anything on his own.

Kyrie saved Cleveland twice
he has his own fault in that tho. he has extremely controversial opinions and turns ppl against him
@@briansu6493ele não é obrigado a seguir todo mundo irmao, as pessoas precisam respeitar isso
I love the cleveland cavaliers because of Lebron james. He's a legend!!!!!
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.

The best game of basketball I’ve ever seen.
My wife got me tickets to this for Christmas - that was the first day I told her I loved her.
That's true love ❤

This was peak basketball .. generational talents collide
Facts basketball nowadays is just does not have that aura
It's a tradition to come back and watch the greatest Christmas game.
The greatest Christmas game by far I was at this game this felt like a finals game easily the energy in the arena , the history between the two nothing better. Just so blessed to be able to have been there and witnessed it in person.
These teams playing against each other felt like watching 2 teams playing the best basketball possible. The intensity was insane
Kinda was the best basketball possible lol. To this day, have not seen a better time of basketball playing than that stretch between 2015-2018 and it was mostly because of these 2 teams.
We all knew when watching this back then it would be a classic....as always

What a game. Still remember this NBA X-mas 2016 classic
Highest level of basketball! Huge energy, incredible defense, generous team collaboration and impressive individual skills.💪🏽💪🏽

I remember watching this live this is one of the best Christmas games ever.
This the best Christmas game ever
The jersey, the rivalry, the stars, this is peak regular season baby

I became an NBA fan around midway through last season. Diehard fan now. Watching this, which I’ve never seen before is just amazing.
Sucks for you. You missed out on a lot of classics
@@holdmyweight3597ur a bitch lmao, u acting like he can’t go back n watch them like he did with this one, clown ass response by you
@@holdmyweight3597Still plenty available to discover
As a Warriors fan even tho we lost this is the greatest Christmas game ever played in any sport
Bruh Iggy and Kd both fouled at the end 🤦♂️
Gsw were trying to see how many turnovers they can give away 😂
I was like this is a weird video and then I realized the NBA TH-cam streams live games like NBAtv. Pretty awesome.
14:06 still one of the greatest sequences in NBA history

What a rivalry between these two teams and this is coming from someone who is a Warriors fan. To be fair though, the Cavaliers did a good job as well
For those of you reading this comment, it's okay, it's normal to feel lonely sometimes, if you're going through tough times, keep trying, but never give up,
Shut up
I get chills every time I rewatch this.
The world needs Irving ... there is nothing more beautiful than Irving going nuts in a game ..
Maybe the only NBA Christmas game to approach the hype of Shaq/Kobe 2004
When I'm old this rivalry will always get mentioned from me in hoops talk lol
Best xmas game of all time i remeber watching this live when i was 9 years old miss the
Nba like this
I remember watching this on TV with my dad. The rest of our family was catching up on sleep from staying up too late on Christmas Eve the night before. We both went crazy when 'Bron dunked on Draymond. I was home for winter break during my sophomore year of college. Simpler times.
This game had some of the greatest dunks in a Christmas day game of all time
LeBrons 2 handed over draymond
Richard's Dunks
KD's insane sequence dunk
Love that kind of basketball
Watching this again made me back when I love the Cleveland and warriors are fighting
I don’t think this world appreciates Kyrie Irving enough. He is magnificent.
lol he ruined the greatest rivalry of the 2010's and is an anti-semite. I think we're good.
My favorite Christmas day game
Пересматриваю в 23 году... Классный матч, Кайри затащил просто невероятный победный бросок...
Согласен...
SHESHHHHHH I'll be watching these all day
After this loss Jordan Poole was born out of the ashes, like a pheonix egg of revenge.
He stinks tho
The trust LeBron had with Kyrie is something special. I wished what happened did not happen, it hurts as a Cavs fan. I miss those two together. Could've done more together. I miss Kyrie in Cavs jersey.
Kyrie hit that game winner on a 6 foot 7 inch Klay Thompson in his prime before the injury, whe he was considered one of or if not the best two way player in the game, and Kyrie finessed the shit out of him for another game winner for the second time in a row to beat the warriors even with Kevin Durant in his prime, Kyrie is a top 3 clutch NBA player of all time in my knowledgeable opinion, and he has been the most clutch player in the NBA ever since that legendary 2016 series to beat the 73-9 warriors.
hope you guys do this for all star games in February.
Is anybody watching this 2024 on 🎄 Xmas like me because the NBA is so weak now I don’t want to watch the games on? Wow this game is ⚡️🏀
I wanted highlights and y’all gave me the full game ? Nice make me happy make me smile
Miss these daysssss & it was in my city 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
This was such a good game. I remember RJ dunking on KD 😌
This dude kd really went to golden state dawg😭 I’m still baffled
Ruined the best possible rivalry between the Cavs and GSW.
Where should he have gone?
@@olwethusilo7155ANYWHERE ELSE
and LeBron went to different teams just to win championship i'm also baffled 😭
@@akosirhonie6764shut up clown kd is the biggest snake in sports history get his dixk out ya mouth 😭😭
El mejor partido de Navidad de la historia para mi 👌🇩🇴🫂🏀🏆
This was a high level game with great athleticism, sniper shooting skills, and good defensive. This game is a must watch if u never seen it.
One of the Best NBA games for sure
Thank you NBA!
This is best rivalry in this era
I still remember how worried I was about the refa calling a technical foul on 1:28:27. Today’s refs wouldve called it and ruined the game
my fav regular season game I've ever watched live
WOW! Watched this again! That Duo of LEBRON AND KYRIE was so deadly. If it wasn't for kyrie's pride, the cavs would have won several championships, 3peats, Back to back
Best Christmas game of all time.
The good days
This really was a great rivalry before the Warriors had the time needed to develop chemistry with KD and made it very one sided.
Kyrie and Bron great chemistry. Miss Jr Smith in the NBA.
One of the best games still get goosebumps
Lmao Richard Jefferson be dunkin' on everybody..
Best Christmas game…. EVER!!
I wish the Cleveland Cavaliers would get another Christmas home game, because this was an amazing environment.
best christmas game ever ! my dude Kyrie did it again the best PG
I miss this cavs team😢
I remember when lebron said, "CLEVELAND. THIS IS FOR YOU"
W the old days
Damn, what a game! Miss these days
The best reg season game Of all time
The best NBA year ever
That Jefferson dunk had my whole living room lit
easily the best nba game of all time
I mean, it’s up there, but,
Yea no ur prob right
best nba game? no. best christmas game? yes.
@@igerw8519 actually i’m trippen the best game is game 7 of the 2016 finals
Soy latina Ecuatoriana y me encanta la N BA basque booll felcitaciones
Probably the best regular season game in the 2010's, also Thunder vs Warriors Steph from the logo (Curry from way downtown bang, bang) the previous season.
1:34:30 how does Kyrie keep up with these unique hand shakes he has with every teammate?
Best x-mas game ever 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
the greatest Finals cavs vs warrions
This was a great game. Let's go Cavs!
prime curry and lebron great rivals
I’m happy to say I was there this game
I miss those Cavs teams man💔
Let’s go Cavs 🔥🏀
I don't care what team you're on... 1:28:32 - 1:28:44 puts the fattest smile on my face. I know teammates celebrate all the time as they should, but it just hit different.
If you haven't seen this game don't click this time.
If you have seen the game you know what happened right before haha
14:07 was an insane sequence
Jefferson right foot tripped KD, causing him to stumble and it wasn't called.... but monster shot by Kyrie 🔥🔥🔥
Could be my favourite game of all time. Godamm greatness under so much pressure. Craig sager about to die watching maybe the best game of his storied career adds a layer too.
“Thanks a lot for entertaining me”
Fucking magical stuff
History in the making💥rivalry makes the game so much fun&bold to watch specially when techs,ejection to be called🤩🤩🤩
Kevin love such a smart leveled headed player. Most guys that get dunked on get all pissed off or try to argue. This man grabs the ball chucks it full court for two like screw ur celebrating. Bigger man than me id wanna fight after that
Christmas Day Kyrie is somethin else. Real 1s know remember the philly game #Clutch
Boston Kyrie was a mf.
This was the best Christmas game ever
I enjoy those little moments where Lebron helps up curry (example). Just some friendly actions and mutual respect. Thats good for the game
