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.
Bill Russell KD is the 2nd best player in the NBA add him to any team with talent and they could reach the finals or atleast the conference finals, add him to a team who were already the best in the league and you get an unstoppable force.
Yeah but that just shows how much they needed another superstar to take down lebron and kyrie lol. So that's like 5 allstars and a deep bench vs lebron and kyrie and a shitty bench?? lol. They better had demolish them.
@@chonder6580 how that same team was down 3-1 to okc to get to the finals and went 7 games with cavs also that’s not the best team ever 2 series going 7 games
LeBron with the block Kyrie with the shot Love with the clutch defense When it came down to the final moments of this game the Big 3 stepped up and delivered.
Ryan Riley and don’t forget Lebron’s final clutch free throw to seal the game. The 4 point deficit made it almost impossible for Golden State to think they had a chance.
Yea but it was Kyrie that came up clutch. That block came before Kyrie's 3...... Kyrie doesn't get enough credit!!! Had it not been for that shot the drought would still exist!!
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.
If 2015 love kyrie healthy they would have won bc it still went game 6 just lebron and this season he’s going to win with the lakers so we would be Sitting on 5 rings and if didn’t choke would have won 1 more which would put him with 6 but I still think he’s the goat
@@tjjohal3375 Nope. He Cant be the Goat after teaming up with Dwayne Wade, Bosh, Ray, Kyrie, K love, AD, and Boogie Cousins. kareem has 6, mj has 6, they didnt choke any finals
FIU Student so u are saying u can’t be the goat if u have good teammates??? That means MJ is automatically eliminated from the goat conversation because he has Scottie Pippen
@@dagod6361 No cause MJ had 1 really good teammate (Pippen) in that 1st 3peat. And btw he actually 3peated (twice). Lbj has had all the players i already stated above and has won half of that despite playing more seasons, and having fewer injuries, choosing where he goes
FIU Student Dude the Bulls don't 3 peat the 2nd time if it weren't for HOF Dennis Rodman. They couldn't even beat Orlando the previous year because Horace Grant owned their ass & they had no answer for him till they got the Worm.. You act like a man has to go out there & literally play with bums. Every single team that has won championships has had 2-4 elite players... How would you like it if you had to play entire seasons with trash ass players & you were the only good 1 out there? Wouldn't feel so good now would it? Stop all of that lame ass hating.
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.
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
@Bisco Who what I liked about it is that we won it on Golden State’s court the year after Golden State came to Cleveland and beat us on our home court in Game 6 to capture the championship
Best season ever. Kobe farewell tour Warriors 73-9 Toronto All Star Weekend (Thompson 3P, Lavine-Gordon Dunk, Kobe ASG) Finals Game 7 Comback from 3-1 Lebron finally wins it for Cleveland
@@hehans4279 I'm not overly concerned with where KD went or how he interfered with the rival. I'm Christian. I was more bummed that he didn't continue in OKC. They were so close. He was clearly better than Kawhi. I thought he could've beat LeBron in the Finals. Real was coming back to the NBA and he was next up out west. Should be CLE vs OKC the past 2 years
As a warriors fan after the 2017 series I wanted him gone because we already new who was gonna win and I wanted it to be like 2016 but that may never happen again
it was stupid choker job by curry. he wanted a switch on love cus he thought it was a mismatch when he already had kyrie guarding him.. it turns out he cant get a shot of cus of love's height LOL. love basically never gave him the 3 and allowed the drive. but curry was not taking the drive cus he knew they need a 3. thats why kyries shot was so big cus he forced the gsw to make a 3 back
Hi Bida The thing was that they didn’t actually need a 3. Kyrie hit that shot above 50 seconds mark. Had the warriors settled for 2 and played defense, make or miss they would still have gotten the ball back without needing to foul with so much seconds left to work with. But curry got greedy and cocky and wanted to respond immediately to kyrie’s 3.
Knowing that your one minute away from winning or losing the nba finals with your entire life’s hard work on the line has to feel insane. Hats off to the cavs.
We’ve had 5 finals since then and none of them have come close to how I felt watching this live. Summer 2016 was one of the best times of my life. Bucks vs Suns was good, but this final was unreal. I still get chills watching this game. Never get bored.
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.
3 reasons why this finals are historical: 1. LeBron James' chasedown block on Andre Iguodala. 2. Kyrie Irving’s 3 pointer over Curry. 3. Kevin Love's amazing defense on Curry.
NO ONE talks about the defense of Kevin Love on Steph in the ensuing play after the Kyrie 3....he was switched onto Steph and just locked him down, forced him to give up the ball, he got it back, locked him down again and forced him into a wild 3. Amazing
He put the clamps on Steph he was dancing on k love and he really didn't bite on any of the p fakes and he was watching Steph lower body waist feet you know c ause u can tell when a player is gonna pull up by his lower body movement s. That's exactly how defense is supposed to be played it was so fundamentaly sound
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.
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.
i remember exactly where I was watching this in a cheap resturaunt in downtown boston. tons of people mostly teens literally just started walking in too watch and everyone started freaking out when they won and it wasnt even in cleveland. will always remember that day brings back memories dude
yeah... but that spot was saved for the monster block to Iguodala...I'm not American, but still is the only thing it comes to mind when they ask me about this match
@Lionel Avila And that foul on Draymond should have been a Flagrant One Foul. He made absolutely no effort whatsoever to go for the ball and used excessive force to try to hurt LeBron. Draymond is a thug and I am glad we beat them that night and that year.
@Lionel Avila Exactly. We had Love and Kyrie out for the 2015 Finals. In 2017 and 2018, instead of being a man and facing a challenge, Durant takes the pussy way out and joins the Warriors. I think if Kyrie and LeBron had stayed, we could have taken them this year and msybe even last year. They're vulberable this year.
Duwang Is Unbreakable oh trust me if he had his back with him he would have slammed it no doubt (back injury)... have u ever seen him go for a weak ass lay up like that ever again?
That defence be Kevin love on Steph curry was textbook. He recognized the switch early, shuffled his feet and kept his hands off him. What an underrated play in this game
@@nitticahani6634 yea if you would have told anyone that it comes down to k love defending curry 1v1 they be like "yea thats either a 3, 3 free throws or a 4 point play". luckily k love was great and curry shrinks in big games.
One of the greatest NBA finals ever. Lebron James "the chosen one" comes back to Cleveland and promises to lead them to the championship, thus ending a 53 year winless drought. The city of Cleveland has never won a championship on any major sports team in this 53 year time period. The Golden State Warriors also had the best regular season record in history, and were up 3-1 in the finals. At that point, no team had ever come back from that kind of deficit. But despite all odds, Cleveland found a way to win, thus ending the 53 year drought and Lebron James kep his promise of leading them to a championship. And this is why the 2016 finals will go down as one of the greatest in NBA history.
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!
This is it be4theFirE what lucy/him, her did with adam n eve eventually lead to worlds first twins Cain n Able, thus we are all born in a cainable world wearing Lucy suit as skin Checkout Cory Barbee TH-cam channel we, are all Angelos
How does this make you want to cry he left his city because he couldn’t win so he joined a team that would almost guarantee a ring then he came back to his city and won and he’s crying this makes no sense
If you look at LeBron's left hand during that play, it was on the other side of the basket. This was to block Iguodala if he had went for the reverse layup. In the heat of the moment in a fast-paced game, a critical moment at that, LeBron had the basketball IQ to think of this. This is what impressed me the most.
I WAS AT THE GAME: I’m from Cleveland. There were maybe only 300 Cleveland fans in the whole arena. Why? 4 reasons…1) There were only connecting flights from Cleveland to Oakland/San Francisco (no direct flights). 2) Tickets were INSANELY expensive. 3) If they lost, it would be a VERY depressing flight home…with a connector. 4) They are playing Game 7 in Golden State…the team that had the best record in NBA history. That said, it was a very high risk, high reward scenario. I spent $3,000 for an 18th row ticket. My heart raced the entire game. Didn’t eat and maybe took a sip of water all 48 minutes (severe dry mouth). Fast forward to when Kyrie hit the go-ahead 3 pointer (5:03)…this 65 year old woman, only fan near me, from Cleveland (I never met before) literally pulled an Elaine Benes and pushed me so hard and starting shaking me with complete and utter shock…”Holy sh*t…we may actually win this thing.”…and sure enough….I took a $3000 risk on the greatest NBA game of all time. 😊 PS: My profile pic is me at the game wearing the CLE shirt.
Why doesn't this comment have more likes??? Dude I'm so jealous of you, it's been 6 years and June 19, 2016 is still like the greatest day of my life and I do weird anniversary shit every June 19 haha I've always wanted to hear background stories from Cleveland fans about this championship and more especially from people that grew up in Cleveland and really understand the 52 year curse and lived through it because I'm sure the Believeland documentary doesn't do it justice. ^Elaine Benes that's hilarious!!! 😂 Man what did you do after the game?? Find some of those 300 Cleveland fans and celebrate with them at a bar or something?? I have so many more questions too 😂
Who else could've blocked that shot? Only LeBron I don't see Jr nor Kevin blocking that shot, If that shot went in gsw would've gained momentum which is a big contribution to winning games
Dynamics that would’ve been the greatest play in NBA history imo. That dunk would’ve secured a 3-1 comeback against the first ever unanimous MVP and the team with the best record in NBA history.
Man I still remember everything around this night, and these last few minutes while watching with my family. I was only alive for the LeBron teams, the awful seasons the Browns had, and the chokejobs from the Indians in the postseason, but my dad had been witness of all the horrible luck to Cleveland, to the point that he thought we’d never win something. My grandpa died a month before this game, and he was the most loyal Cleveland sports fan I have ever known. No matter how bad a team played, or how much he hated how they sucked, he watched every minute of every Browns game, every inning of Indians ball, and almost every minute of Cavalier basketball. When LeBron hit the free throw, and my family was jumping around, because we knew they finally ended the curse, the first thing I thought of, was that my grandpa was up in heaven smiling, because they won, or cracking a joke that they couldn’t let him be alive for the title. This will forever be my favorite NBA Game and moment ever. The finals after this were absolute garbage because Kevin Durant ruined the league, and Kyrie became a prima donna, so this would be my “series finale” of the NBA, the underdogs toppled the evil empire with all odds against them, so millions of people could rejoice.
Joshua R even LeBron admit that moved of durant to warriors... you just Bronsexual fans keep crying for losing to the warriors...take this big L... Loser!
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.
Ok buddy what happenend after that block resulted in a missed Lebron play the next very next possession so he didn’t affect anything then Kyrie said stop calm down Little bron and let me win your ass a ring. Then two possessions after the blocked Lebron TWO possessions, by which both were Lebron failing to score then Kyrie made the Dagger that 3 that Won KYRIE
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
Not sure how anyone can hate this man. Sure he’s not undefeated in the finals like mj. But he had to face the same juggernaut of a team every time he got there and took them down once. This is seriously one of the greatest moments in all of sports history. One of those moments where you never forget where you were when it happened. One of those moments where we were all witnesses to a king taking the crown
Was a great moment in sports history and don't let anybody fool you about losing in the finals it's an honor Jerry west lost nine times in the finals and they use him as the logo but nobody says anything about that so just ignore anything about losing the finals because it's like getting a silver medal in the Olympics there's people that didn't even get a medal and Jordan didn't get to the finals many times so his record is worse than LeBron's in actuality don't ever forget that
They are mocking him for losing in the final but that s why it s a fucking final, because you play against the other best fucking team. There are some players who on so many people eyes are so good but they never had a ring or even played in a final.
the same people who grew up fantasizing a fairy tale story. a flawless story. that you have to be perfect. majority of them are fans of basketball by cosmetic aspect. as soon as they saw bron doesn't move like mj, he's been hated. true basketball fans appreciate all aspects of basketball and if you are one, you appreciate greatness in lebron. despite the levels of scrutiny on this man since day 1, he still delivered. whatever you do tho, the haters will always be there and it's just the sad reality of life.

@@tjjohal3375 Nope. He Cant be the Goat after teaming up with Dwayne Wade, Bosh, Ray, Kyrie, K love, AD, and Boogie Cousins. kareem has 6, mj has 6, they didnt choke any finals
FIU Student so u are saying u can’t be the goat if u have good teammates??? That means MJ is automatically eliminated from the goat conversation because he has Scottie Pippen
@@dagod6361 No cause MJ had 1 really good teammate (Pippen) in that 1st 3peat. And btw he actually 3peated (twice). Lbj has had all the players i already stated above and has won half of that despite playing more seasons, and having fewer injuries, choosing where he goes
FIU Student Dude the Bulls don't 3 peat the 2nd time if it weren't for HOF Dennis Rodman. They couldn't even beat Orlando the previous year because Horace Grant owned their ass & they had no answer for him till they got the Worm.. You act like a man has to go out there & literally play with bums. Every single team that has won championships has had 2-4 elite players... How would you like it if you had to play entire seasons with trash ass players & you were the only good 1 out there? Wouldn't feel so good now would it? Stop all of that lame ass hating.

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.
Rip Aaron🙏

Damn I’m sorry about your brother man
Rest In Peace Aaron
RIP Aaron🙏🏾
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
If only this was done on the Cavs home court, the crowd would’ve went insane
Makes it a little bit sweeter that they did it in "the hardest building to win in as the away team", though. Don't you think?
They would've screamed like fucking banshees
It would be just like game 7 in Toronto

Clamped him.
Three huge plays from the big 3. The shot by Kyrie, block by lebron and Love clamping curry

@@hehans4279 I'm not overly concerned with where KD went or how he interfered with the rival. I'm Christian.
I was more bummed that he didn't continue in OKC. They were so close. He was clearly better than Kawhi. I thought he could've beat LeBron in the Finals.
Real was coming back to the NBA and he was next up out west. Should be CLE vs OKC the past 2 years
The most underrated play in the finals history is kevin love's lockdown D on curry to prevent the 3
I swear he clamped him up
Or James on Thompson
Yes he had that crack head defense
Axel Guzman what? Lol
The thing that makes me like love is that when he was trash at offensive the whole series he makes up for it at the end

omm!!!!!
it was stupid choker job by curry. he wanted a switch on love cus he thought it was a mismatch when he already had kyrie guarding him.. it turns out he cant get a shot of cus of love's height LOL. love basically never gave him the 3 and allowed the drive. but curry was not taking the drive cus he knew they need a 3. thats why kyries shot was so big cus he forced the gsw to make a 3 back
javier García I've never seen Kevin move so quickly
Hi Bida The thing was that they didn’t actually need a 3. Kyrie hit that shot above 50 seconds mark. Had the warriors settled for 2 and played defense, make or miss they would still have gotten the ball back without needing to foul with so much seconds left to work with. But curry got greedy and cocky and wanted to respond immediately to kyrie’s 3.
never forget Kevin Love locked down Curry
HailToTheVictor503 Lol
HailToTheVictor503 didn't lock him up tho
HailToTheVictor503 and Lebron icing the game with a freethrow
Steph Curry The G.O.A.T what are you talking about he caused a bad shot and curry couldn't get past him
AngelSurge SSX nah he beat that bum off the dribble then pulled back cause he saw LeBron in the paint watch
Knowing that your one minute away from winning or losing the nba finals with your entire life’s hard work on the line has to feel insane. Hats off to the cavs.

Ojitos hechiseros
He put the clamps on Steph he was dancing on k love and he really didn't bite on any of the p fakes and he was watching Steph lower body waist feet you know c ause u can tell when a player is gonna pull up by his lower body movement s.

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.

@Lionel Avila And that foul on Draymond should have been a Flagrant One Foul. He made absolutely no effort whatsoever to go for the ball and used excessive force to try to hurt LeBron. Draymond is a thug and I am glad we beat them that night and that year.
@Lionel Avila Exactly. We had Love and Kyrie out for the 2015 Finals. In 2017 and 2018, instead of being a man and facing a challenge, Durant takes the pussy way out and joins the Warriors.
I think if Kyrie and LeBron had stayed, we could have taken them this year and msybe even last year. They're vulberable this year.

That’s what I was bouta say. LeBron said it in the parade speech but it just sunk in how huge that was.
One of the greatest NBA finals ever.
Lebron James "the chosen one" comes back to Cleveland and promises to lead them to the championship, thus ending a 53 year winless drought. The city of Cleveland has never won a championship on any major sports team in this 53 year time period. The Golden State Warriors also had the best regular season record in history, and were up 3-1 in the finals. At that point, no team had ever come back from that kind of deficit.
But despite all odds, Cleveland found a way to win, thus ending the 53 year drought and Lebron James kep his promise of leading them to a championship.
And this is why the 2016 finals will go down as one of the greatest in NBA history.
Gives me tears even watching now 😭
Maybe one of the greatest finals on sport history ever

I WAS AT THE GAME: I’m from Cleveland. There were maybe only 300 Cleveland fans in the whole arena. Why? 4 reasons…1) There were only connecting flights from Cleveland to Oakland/San Francisco (no direct flights). 2) Tickets were INSANELY expensive. 3) If they lost, it would be a VERY depressing flight home…with a connector. 4) They are playing Game 7 in Golden State…the team that had the best record in NBA history. That said, it was a very high risk, high reward scenario. I spent $3,000 for an 18th row ticket. My heart raced the entire game. Didn’t eat and maybe took a sip of water all 48 minutes (severe dry mouth). Fast forward to when Kyrie hit the go-ahead 3 pointer (5:03)…this 65 year old woman, only fan near me, from Cleveland (I never met before) literally pulled an Elaine Benes and pushed me so hard and starting shaking me with complete and utter shock…”Holy sh*t…we may actually win this thing.”…and sure enough….I took a $3000 risk on the greatest NBA game of all time. 😊 PS: My profile pic is me at the game wearing the CLE shirt.
That trumps my story. I spent $600 on Game 6 tickets in 2008 and my date didn't give me any. Least I got to see the win 🤣
Wow! amazing story. I bet your connecting flight back was the best ever.

Find some of those 300 Cleveland fans and celebrate with them at a bar or something?? I have so many more questions too 😂

Man I still remember everything around this night, and these last few minutes while watching with my family. I was only alive for the LeBron teams, the awful seasons the Browns had, and the chokejobs from the Indians in the postseason, but my dad had been witness of all the horrible luck to Cleveland, to the point that he thought we’d never win something. My grandpa died a month before this game, and he was the most loyal Cleveland sports fan I have ever known. No matter how bad a team played, or how much he hated how they sucked, he watched every minute of every Browns game, every inning of Indians ball, and almost every minute of Cavalier basketball. When LeBron hit the free throw, and my family was jumping around, because we knew they finally ended the curse, the first thing I thought of, was that my grandpa was up in heaven smiling, because they won, or cracking a joke that they couldn’t let him be alive for the title. This will forever be my favorite NBA Game and moment ever. The finals after this were absolute garbage because Kevin Durant ruined the league, and Kyrie became a prima donna, so this would be my “series finale” of the NBA, the underdogs toppled the evil empire with all odds against them, so millions of people could rejoice.

This is seriously one of the greatest moments in all of sports history. One of those moments where you never forget where you were when it happened. One of those moments where we were all witnesses to a king taking the crown
Was a great moment in sports history and don't let anybody fool you about losing in the finals it's an honor Jerry west lost nine times in the finals and they use him as the logo but nobody says anything about that so just ignore anything about losing the finals because it's like getting a silver medal in the Olympics there's people that didn't even get a medal and Jordan didn't get to the finals many times so his record is worse than LeBron's in actuality don't ever forget that
Shiiit true bro I'll never forget where I was when this happened
They are mocking him for losing in the final but that s why it s a fucking final, because you play against the other best fucking team. There are some players who on so many people eyes are so good but they never had a ring or even played in a final.
the same people who grew up fantasizing a fairy tale story. a flawless story. that you have to be perfect. majority of them are fans of basketball by cosmetic aspect. as soon as they saw bron doesn't move like mj, he's been hated. true basketball fans appreciate all aspects of basketball and if you are one, you appreciate greatness in lebron. despite the levels of scrutiny on this man since day 1, he still delivered. whatever you do tho, the haters will always be there and it's just the sad reality of life.
MJ also often got stymied hard when he doesn't make it to the finals too. It's either he's in the finals or he doesn't even make it.
