If LeBron would've gotten that dunk on Draymond that would've been the highlight play of LeBrons career instead of that block.

That score remained 89-89 with 4:40 left all the way until 0:53 left. The most intense minutes in NBA history.

LeBron with The Block. Kyrie with The Shot. Kevin with The Lock.

The 2015-16 season was the best season in NBA history. GSW's 73 wins, Kobe Bryant's retirement, LaVine and Gordon's greatest dunk contest of all time, and the 2016 NBA Finals were great games.

Irving had one of the most clutch moments in finals history

I know that Kyrie’s shot and LeBron’s block are the moments that get talked about the most in this game, but LeBron’s three free throws to cut the lead down to 1 and the following it up with a 3 to put them up 2 really gave them the momentum and confidence they needed to attack and win this game.

"Iguodala to Curry, back to Iguodala, up to the rim...OH BLOCKED BY JAMES!!!!!!" Still gives me goosebumps ! Astonishing moment in the NBA history What a block and what a commentary!

nobody talks about how Lebron’s dunk at 8:19 would’ve been the greatest finals posterizer of all time if it happened

The best finals ever! The rivalry, the comeback, the drama, the iconic block, the dagger shot, the final countdown. Just fire. 🔥

One of the best finals in history 🔥🔥

This finals was the peak of the NBA’s history in my opinion. So much went into this game

Big shoutout to Kevin Love!! Thats one of the best and biggest stops in NBA History!! Not just Finals!! HISTORY!! Now in 2023 ppl been calling him washed up but he back in the playoffs, killed the Bucks and all over the Knicks!! Give that Man his Respect!!

I loved every single thing about this finals series the 3-1 comeback LeBron's block on Andre and everything else the Kyrie 3 pointer and LeBron's back-to-back 40 point games.

7:46 That closeout by Kevin Love was the 3rd best play in Cavs history behind LeBrons block and Kyries 3

Most clutch lebron did in his career. Clutch 3, cluth free throws and that massive block.

I rewatch the whole game every year before the playoffs finals. It was just incredible meaning all the background and context. The best final game ever.

AND STILL the best Finals game of the modern era

I’ll never forget being in downtown Cleveland watching it outside of the Cavs arena on a big ass projector screen surrounding by at least a thousand people, minimum and seeing kyrie hit that 3😭 one of the best feelings that I’ll never forget 🔥 needless to say we tore the streets up 😂

Best championship of any sport. The day LeBron broke the curse. Legendary. Thank you for creating memories!

I’m not from Cleveland but my dad lives there for work and I was visiting during the 2016 finals and I’ll never forget how the city of Cleveland felt after this game. It was electric

Wish I could relive that summer this series was basketball in its purest form my favorite all time series Celtics/Lakers up there too

I’ve watched the NBA since 1993 and this is the most memorable series I’ve ever seen

8:19 This would have been the GREATEST dunk in nba history, hands down

Best finals of all time, blessed to have watched it.

LeClutch and Kyrie with some of the best plays to close out a Finals game 7 ever. Craziest comeback in NBA history! 🔥🏀

6:24, LeBron's block is one of the greatest plays not only in NBA history, but in the history of ALL American professional sports. WOW! A great call by Mike Breen too.

Still the best finals series ever love that cavs team🔥

Before the shot & before the Block, Bron hit that fade 3 on Festus to tie it 89, I'll always feel like that shot was the one that permanently swung the series for the Cavs 🔥

The greatest game 7 of all time. Without a doubt.

It’s crazy with kyrie and lebron being on the same court as the 73-9 warriors this game was deadlocked at 89 for a WHILE

2016 will always hold a special place in my heart 🥹🥹🥹

6:23 this still gives me goosebumps. So athletic wtf.

i come back and watch this every year

The only nba finals that will be remembered forever in our hearts.

still makes my heart race 8 years later. Greatest finals ever

I still tear up in right before the buzzer man One day I’ll never forget My favorite cavs team Best game EVER

I'll never forget this day as a Cleveland fan for the rest of my life.

Watch every moment of this finals definitely the best final of all time

This victory in the final 6mins was about: 1. Cavs successfully going around GS screens 2. Cavs defensive rotations while disciplined and staying with Klay & Steph everytime along the way 3. The Greatness of LeBron James 4. The brilliant 3pt shooting ability of Kyrie Irving 5. The coaching brilliance of Tyrone Lue with a big timeout @7:08 after 5 consecutive bad offensive plays by The Cavs with no resulting basket 6. The individual brilliant defensive 1v1 match-ups by the Cavs without fouling GS 7. Steph Curry's costly turnover

not enough people talk about how amazing Kevin Love's defense on Curry was at the end of that stretch to solidify that 3 point lead.

BEST NBA SEASON EVER WITH THE BEST FINAL GAME

Tears of joy seeing this again

rewatching this game is like watching your favorite movie again for an nba fan. there was so much drama down the stretch. you could feel the tension, see the players gassed from trying to get every stop that they couldnt reserve enough energy on the offensive side to get a basket to save their season until kyrie shoots the dagger. hands down the greatest game perhaps in nba history with what was at stake, how it played out, and all the history between the teams.

I remember watching this game with my dad and brother. I was 7 at the time, my brother was 9 at the time and fast forward 7 years later I'm 14 and hes 16. Fun times 2016 was. :(

Best nba finals till date ...still very enjoyable to watch this game 7

"CLEVELAND, THIS IS FOR YOUUU!"❤😭

One of the best final in history of NBA 2016

I grew up in Cleveland and was a lifelong Cavs fan. In 2016, I was living in Oakland. I remember hugging/crying in a strangers arms after the 3-1 comeback win for this game haha. He was a warriors fan and understood. Never will forget that season and rivalry.

Being a Warriors fan I’ve finally come to terms with this loss hats off to Cleveland man 😂

Thanks KD for ruining what could have been an incredible rivalry.

Still never forget this day. Cemented in history

This one will be always in my memory and heart. The Block, The Shot and never forget about The Stop. ❤🎉

Love having clutch d always brings a smile to my face

shutting out what is arguably the most explosive offense in NBA history for nearly 5 minutes might be the most impressive in game feat the cavs achieved all season. its insane. Love espeically. the way he clamped up curry on the possesion after kyrie's 3 was unbelievable.

Cleveland's defense in this final couple minutes is a masterclass. It shows what it takes to win, to really win at this level. Amazing to watch.

The Block by Lebron 6:24 The Shot by Irving 7:22 The Stop by Love 7:46 as a cavs fan this was the most intense and emotional sporting event i've ever watched (OSU/Alabama sugar bowl in '15 a close 2nd) this was peak NBA for me

2016 was peak NBA and also...poor Brooks, wont be going back to the Grizzlies next season..wonder who will pick him up!

Damn Nba bringing back all the Lebron and curry memories back

As a NON LeBron James fan, I can say as great as Bron has been for the majority of his career and possibly the greatest player of his era, this was the last time LeBron carried any team. He literally brought them back down 1-3 against the GS Warriors. Kyrie was huge with that 3 but it was cause of Bron willed them back to win and ultimately overcome a unrealistic deficit. This was 7 years ago and I saw this in real time. I lost a bet but I was happy for LeBron James and the city of Cleveland at this time they had gone 52 years without a title and ended that horrific drought.

Irrespective of what sport you like!! The story of this Cavs vs Warriors , will always be remembered in history ~~ I feel blessed to witnes this and lived it myself, cuz it was nothing short of a miracle ♡♡

Miss the Ximo Pierto times. One of the best finals ever....

You can see the nerves of every single player on the court just by the shot results. After Klays layup, 3:17 - Not quite a brick 3:26 - way off even though he’s open 3:50 - air ball on a pretty good look 4:38 - short and off 5:00 - point blank range miss, but he was fouled 5:08 - an absolute clank 5:28 - way short 5:49 - wide open miss 6:18 - misses rim entirely 6:48 - like a foot and a half short on a 6 foot shot😂 7:00 - complete brick 7:20 - breaks the spell with one of the biggest shots ever What an entertaining and ugly rock fight this was with everyone affected by nerves.

Nostalgic! I remember those days where i rushed away from school to home just to know whose the champion, and when I arrived, i jumped for a long time, seeing my fav team, cavs, won and be the NBA champion

This was fathers day, gift was amazing as a Cleveland fan......Thanks Lebron, and Kyre

So, so fascinating 6 years later to see where everyone is now. To be able to look back in time with what you know now and see how people’s lives have changed after this moment!

idk but i feel that 2016 is probably one of the best year in the world in overall aspects of life

That lebron James block, is possibly the most clutch block I have ever seen.

This finals was truly a one in a quadrillion experience. We will never see another team again go 73-9 in the season, enter the finals as the heavy favorites only to squander a 3-1 lead and get mercilessly mocked on the internet. I remember watching this explosive game in my school clinic's TV and a lot of my nervous classmates were peeking from the window, such good times. Absolutely one of the best NBA games of all time.

Never in my life have I seen or felt a next bucket wins situation in basketball with so much time on the clock. Incredible defending and drive. This is what playoff hockey is like for 60 minutes.

Not sure which is crazier, that LeBron went for 27/11/11 in Game 7 of the NBA Finals, or that Draymond Green was the star for Golden State putting up 32/15/9 while shooting 11/15 from the field (including 6/8 from 3).

The back to back possessions where they got Ezeli isolated on LeBron was the biggest sequence of the game.. 6 straight points at a time both teams were struggling to score

this might be the best game of basketball ever played. for sure the best NBA Finals in recent memory.

A historical moment in nba history you remember where you was when they came back for 3-1❤ Greatness.......

I got goosebumps rewatching this epic moment

Best Father’s Day present ever.

I've watched a lot of NBA Finals, and this was one of, if not, my favorite series. Two outstanding teams with two varying styles of play. One is looking to finish off what, statistically speaking, would've been the greatest single season of all time: In a title defense season, to win a league record 73 games and then defend your title against the very team you beat last year, despite them being healthy this time around, after beating OKC 3-1 right before this series in the WCF??? Meanwhile, Cleveland is trying to win the first title in franchise history, being lead by a man who was drafted, left and returned to fulfill his promise to the city he grew up right around the corner from. And to do so after being down 3-1??? The block by James. The shot by Irving. The stop by Love. The fact that the game went 3+ minutes down the stretch without a basket and the score tied only made it even more intense. I'm not a Lebron-stan. I have him 2nd all time behind Michael. But this was easily the most impressive championship between these 2 players and probably the most impressive championship I've seen won of all time.

witnessing it live was crazy

One of my favorite NBA finals I've watched

This whole season and succeeding playoffs is like a movie.

The block, the shot, the stop. Big three did work!

Am borrowing a comment I read in another video: It is a standard practice to review this game once in awhile. Now that I view it again, Kevin Love did a fantastic job closing and guarding, the block and the tension in the arena must be so tense I can feel in front of the monitor lol. Great Win by Cavs back in 2016! I hope Lakers will win Warriors this year as they have successfully stole game 1 now. Very nice!

"OHHHH!! BLOCKED BY JAMES" is still iconic

One of the most iconic moments in Basketball 🏀🥰🙏🏽

still the best moments in nba history

8:21 this could have been the most iconic dunk in nba history

Still got goosebumps bro

Never been so tensed watching a game in my life. Amazing Finals!

This finals, and the Raptors finals are my top favorites. The atmosphere and everything was crazy 💪💪

Can't wait to see these two this series 🔥

One of the greatest nba finals in history, one of the best single game in history, THE BEST BLOCK IN HISTORY

Those were the longest 53 seconds of my life. Still can’t believe it happened, but man I’m glad it did. The greatest moment in sports history. Nothing will ever compare to it

I always come back to this game to cheer up

The Block, The Shot, The D, Cleveland's BIG 3 came up clutch ! Best championship in NBA History.

The Block by James. The Shot by Irving. The Stop by Love. The Choke job by Curry.

Iconic game of basketball

still get chills watching The Block. the greatest single defensive play in nba history

Kevin love defense is underrated.

Best finals of ALL time.

Even with almost a minute left that three felt like such a dagger. Everyone was so gassed and it was an intense defensive battle

I've watch this so many times man. My favorite sports moment EVER
