Basketball was different back then. Takeaways watching retrospectively: Draymond was on fire and did NOT want to loose, Kyrie was cookin n that tough OFF REB/Putback he had didnt notice b4, Lebron was speacial, and 19:58 Kevin love on his toes for 7/8 seconds deseveres more credit 💪😂
The best NBA finals! 73-9 record without a ring is nothing.
Kyrie Irving was a huge factor in 3rd quarter, difficult shots made in this game, absolutely clutch winning basket, Kyrie got the switch folks and Steph couldn't close fast enough!❤❤❤
Rigged as fock
That shit's rigged AF. How much did the Cavs owner paid the refs?
"CLEVELAND, THIS IS FOR YOU"

Just imagine if this would have happened Iguodala to Curry back to Iguodala up for the layout ohhh blocked by James LeBron James with the rejection wait a minute they call goaltending on LeBron James Warriors go up 2
Greatest game oat I'm sorry
The block. The shot. The stop. All equally impressive, this was insane to watch as a basketball fan
Kyrie saved LeBron's Legacy with that Dagger 3 pointer. Otherwise they would've lost against The Warriors 4 straight years in the Finals with the addition of Kevin Durant.
This was such amazing basketball…. I miss this version of the nba.
This is one of the best nba finals I've ever seen cause cav's came back from a 3-1 and won the championship…… You Feel Me 💯
I get goosebumps watching this, I can't believe it's been 10 years
Good game, but orchestrated outcome.
I LOVE THIS GAME MOMENT 👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤💪💪💪💪

Still the greatest finals in NBA history.
Everyone forgets that LeBron put up 11 of the Cavs 18 during the 4th. The Warriors scored 13 in that quarter, and the only shot that Kyrie didn't miss was the one shot everyone on the Cavs needed him to make. I will never forgive Durant for ruining what would have been the best rivalry since Magic and Bird. 2015 and 2016 felt like a new age of basketball, where both the Warriors or Cavs could have won both of those years. We might not see something like that again for a very very long time.
Why post this right now should’ve done it 10 years ago😂. Absolute cinema game and one of my favs all time who else follows Cleveland⬇️
Thank you KD … For running a rivalry 😆
They came back from 1-3 balled out came back and then went up 3-1 again balling out w/ game 7 at home and lost. I don't want to hear the excuses none of those things were bought up when they were killing mfs. It was a great series they lost, that's it that's all. Lol
12 seconds left… 4 qtr… Game 7… The Finals… If James woulda finished that… Omg. #TheBlock #TheDagger that would've been #TheExclamationPoint
Kyrie Irving played his MFIN ass off… Lay-up package is ridiculous
3:14 top 5 greatest defenders of all time apparently? Getting cooked by jr smith 😂😂
If you're from Cleveland…Kyrie 3 greatest shot of all time.
Lmao man I remember watching this game. I forgot Draymond was going off. Greatest (NBA) championship game ever.
Best NBA game of all time hands down, it's got it all: close game, dunks, elite defense, 3 pointers, great plays/schemes, role players doing their jobs and stars beings stars what's not to love
and then kd came and it was all over
The warriors had to get KD after this because they thought like everyone else Kyrie was staying in Cleveland and the warriors wasn’t gonna beat that team without KD
Uncle drew 🔥
GOAT FINALS & Game 7 🐐
I used to be one of the fans who disliked LeBron James after ‘The Decision’ and rooted for Dallas when they faced him in the Finals. However, I became a fan after this championship, and consider him the GOAT.
Chills son
One of the greatest comeback in NBA finals history
🔥🔥🔥
73-9 in the regular season but 15-9 in the playoffs with no championship trophy..
This was on Father's Day wasn't it?
Green would have been finals MVP had they won.
