Lebron went into GODMODE and was first and only to EVER lead both finals teams in points, assist, steals, blocks, AND rebounds. 😮 everyone else gets praised for less effort in the finals. People can’t even do this in a video game 😂
Flat out took over the entire series and ppl say he ain't a killer. He got into the entire team head.
Bron ain’t that guy
@@swervo1506 only a few more years, hang in there buddy !
You can easily do that in 2k
@swervo1506 you been saying this for 20 years like the rest of them? Started when he was 18 and still going at 39. Name another killer been doing it for decades?
i love how lebron has torched PG over the years, and PG still has a love for the guy and his game. a true love for the sport right there
My man saw what holding a grudge against bron did to paul pierce
@EdgardoRamirez19493 what did it do? Pierce sent him packing to make a superteam lol
@@kbthegoat824yea meanwhile Paul pierce was on a super team yo argument sucks
He's pumping up Bron to make losing to him repeadly seem less of a bad look for PG
He grew up watching Bron I think players have a different level of respect when that happens
To get on a treadmill to simulate a first quarter before playing is WILD

Before dinner?
“I gotta simulate my first quarter” That man was LOCKED 😂
Bro they need to do a doc on that SERIESSSSS WITH THE QUICKNESS MAN what a time to be alive 😩
the lebron james doc is gonna go crazy
They did it's called BELIEVELAND. I'm waiting on a better produced version though. That one was okay.
They won’t do a thorough doc on that because you will see Steph purposefully throwing the games. He was shooting shots that missed the rim COMPLETELY ..hitting backboard, and throwing behind the back passes…BEHIND THE BACK PASSES…out of bounds.
@@marcelmarshall4240You are delusional.
It’s gone be in brons his shit gone be long asf 😭 and they probably will make a separate cavs doc for 2016
Golden State had no interior defensive presence. I saw it in the 2014-2015 Finals when LeBron put the team on his back and was scoring with ease in the paint. The only problem was Delly put everything he had out there and had to be hospitalized. I'll say it until the day I day: If Kyrie & K Love were healthy the Cavs would've won that Finals as well.
This statement is a contradiction sir 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Correct me if I’m wrong but if Lebron can score at ease cause (as you said no interior defense) then he doesn’t have to carry the team on his back. Please stop acting like kyrie couldn’t score when he wanted to bro averaged 27,3,3 and 3 of those games bro dropped more then 30… stop it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@GA3S_u illiterate, hes saying if kyrie didnt get injured cavs were beating gsw. And u literally just proved him right..
@@GA3S_idiot kyrie didn’t play in those finals due to injury so kyrie wasn’t averaging anything🤣😭🤦🏽♂️
Yeah, people NEVER mention the fact that losing Bogut (one of their only formidable bigs) was a key turning point also. Cleveland just kept attacking the paint.
@@mr.growngamer1369Draymond being out was the beginning of the end of that team…. He was the only enforcer on an already undersized team… they basically gave away 2 games by not having him
Game 6 is my favorite Lebron game ever - he did everything required in a must win game ever. Reminds me of Mike in 1992 Game 7 vs the Knicks
underratted.. following the game 5 double 41 pieces from Ky & Bron.. Game 6 was a solo effort. He staved off GSW with their second half push- he was hitting everything!
@@getTheSchmack people forget trophy is in the building win or go home and he basically says see you Sunday night
51 8 8- was the greatest individual game performance of all time
Steph got kicked out of game 6
@@reeseangle9621 it was towards the end of the game. He was frustrated, but LeBron was the best player on the court, and it wasn’t even close.
One of the best series I've ever watched. Right up there with 2009 bulls vs celtics
Idk man, that 2009 series was very dissapointing to me. Rose was not THAT GUY yet and the Celtics didn't have KG.
I agree it was an intense chess match all the way to the very end
@@PygmaAprilEXACTLY
@@PygmaApril still some of the most intense games I've ever watched in one series, regardless of who was on the court or not. You had 2 games that went to ot, a game winner by Ray Allen, double ot game, and a triple ot game in one series. Probably will never see that again. Big shots back and forth. It was d roses rookie year also can't really hold that against him
Memphis vs okc
Indiana vs heat
Legend says that Jones was still running after that final buzzer and finally stopped to sit for this pod.
When the cavs barely lost game 4 and it was 3-1 i knew they'd at least win the next one. I could see how pissed LeBron was after the whole thing with Draymond and other warriors players talking shit, Iggy mocking him, then the press conference happened. i live in the bay been a Bron fan since he was in high school so this was peak warrior bandwagon era where everyone seemed to have warrior banners on their cars and wearing curry jerseys in the bay area. My cousins and uncles were talking mad shit. Saying series was over. They was saying they didn't need Draymond for game 5 cause curry was gunna close it out. Then game 5 happened. Then they got quiet after game 6 and during game 7 my cousins was very nervous, people were sad and angry the next day. Talking bout "if we had Draymond game 5" like naw you said you didn't need him remember? Lol good times.
Haha that would've been hard being the only Bron fan in that kind of situation. It must be so satisfying seeing them slowly stopping with the trashtalks once Cavs started winning after Game 4 🤣
OKC would have been in the finals against the cavs had draymond been out game 5 and bogut out game 6 and 7. No question
@@MixTape313- That would have been so interesting to see if KD and OKC would have been able to beat GWS that year.
As a bay area native myself, thank you for speaking the truth.
Andrew Bogert and Draymond 2 starters were out, remove two starters from any championship team and see how they make out
2015-2016 season was such a great & dramatic season. Warriors going 73-9. Kobe’s farewell tour with 60 pt game to cap it. & then the finals… man.
Don't forget the best slam dunk contest!
Ty Lue is a mastermind, them coming back from 3-1 under a first year coach is absolutely insane. He will win more too, with a different group, and again with another group. The guy is just locked in.
LeBron in the last three games of that series may be the highest peak in basketball.
😂
The most glazed nba player I’ve ever witnessed.
MJ fan here he could be right he isn’t glazing lol
Wasn't it though? Can't think of a more true statement. Epitome of the word peak. Incredible to watch.
Lol
Dante was signed for the playoffs because of his vet experience and how good he was defensively put some respect on him
Andrew Bogut. Just a role player...but he had had a very key role for the Warriors in that series. And his injury opened things up for the Cav's.
Bogut wasn’t even averaging 20 mins that series get outta here with that excuse
@@lorddj9910”just a role player”
@@lorddj9910he was a starter...bogut did a whole lot defensively making it harder for guys to attack at key moments, watch the games before talking.
@@kbthegoat824 He was only good in game 2. I watched the series dumbass they got blown off the floor with him in game 3, and he didn’t play the entire 4th quarter in game 4 when it was a close game. The Warriors best lineup was their death lineup/smallball lineup and Bogut isn’t even in that lineup.
@@kbthegoat824But if you really watched the game, you’ll see Cavs were centering their offense around Bogut while he was on the court. Namely they always run Kyrie-Tristan pick-n-roll to attack Bogut. When that happens, no defensive tactic on the GSW side worked. You can see Kyrie dancing on Bogut, you can see Tristan pushing the switching guard in the paint and grab offensive rebounds on top of their head, you can see JR/Love/Jefferson knocking down open 3s when the wing player were forced to help. This was why the game time has been shrinking for Bogut as the series went forward (G1 16 mins, G2 15 mins, G3 12 min, G4 10 mins). And this was why even though the GWS got a 3-1 blowout in the first 4 games, winning by 29 points in total, Bogut himself had -19 plus/minus in those games. He was just a time filler, believe it or not. His defensive contributions did not justify for his defensive weaknesses. And when it boils down to key moments, it was always the small 5 lineup to close out the game for GSW. Bogut wasn't even on the court. Watch the games before talking.
Greatest game 7 ever. CLEVELAND this is for you.
Greatest finals ever
CLEVELAND!!!! THIS FOR YOU!
As a Dubs fan, 2016 will always be that one that got away. If you’re a diehard it eats away at you to this day. It should’ve been ours. But if you sit back and put things into perspective, the Cavs would’ve won like four chips if the Dubs weren’t in their way. Regardless, that was some high level basketball. Fun to watch.
Nah, KD happened. 2016 didn’t slip, KD saved the splash brothers.
@@rodkyles They won 2 out of 4 without KD… Casuals man. 🤣
As a Cavs fan, 2015 was the one that got away. If we had a healthy Kyrie and Love we would’ve went back to back.
@@cwl1919 you must be new this. 2015 dubs beat Cavs 4-2 (Kyrie, Love both out), 2016 Cavs beat dubs 4-3 (3-1 come back, Drammond recruits Kd from the parking lot), 2017 dubs beat Cavs 4-1 (with KD), 2018 dubs beat Cavs 4-0 (game 1 Bron drops 51, Jr Smith takes off in the wrong direction with the ball, Bron breaks his hand on a dry erase board after the game). Dubs won one against Bron without KD.
@@rodkyles You must be new to this. Who the hell is Drammond? Foh 💀
One of the best clips and interviews I've seen on the podcast. Big up Tay!
Draymond got a tech AFTER the game and got suspended that’s mainly what happened. I don’t think they ever figured the Warriors defense out. Cavs took the momentum and Iggy and Bogut got hurt, while HB was doing nothing.
That’s exactly what happened. They didn’t figure shit out. How you go down 3-1 against a hobbled Warriors squad and barely beat them in game 7. Brons block and Kyrie shot won them that game. Other than that they still would’ve lost. Anyone who plays the game knows momentum is a real thing. When Steph couldn’t even get by slew footed ass Kevin love you knew he was still injured. FOH talking about what they figured out. Shit is laughable.
Ya if draymond was there game 5 it would’ve been over Steph couldn’t close it out without him that was prime draymond 30 points game 7 Steph was nowhere to be found
Lmaoooo if dray played its a wrap if the warriors wasn't hobbled they had the momentum, if kelly olynk didn't exist and kyrie don't break his knee cap the warriors are the greatest losers 2 years In a row
2015 playoffs lebron sprained his ankle over 5 times, still lead a young new team to the finals, great excuse the warriors were hobbled so they didn't win if the 2015 cavs were lucky enough to just be hobbled they go b2b
warriors ran through the
2015 playoffs playing injured teams and a rockets team that wasnt suppose to be in the conference, and the mvp got outplayed by a slow aussie with no athleticism in the finals
But a chip is a chip great season ended with a title, then went on to have a a better and best season of all time just to lose at the highest degree, then they won 2 of the easiest rings that are probably not worth less then any title ever
Miami making it to the finals in the bubble or even last season was more impressive then the KD rings
everyone who is keen knows, without draymond GSW system is missing something his defensive presence is always needed, if you still doubt me watch their run this season after his comeback,, like Busi for Barcelona in that golden era
Don't forget Bogut's injury played a role in that meltdown.
everyone knows he was a key part of that team, which is why he shouldn't have gotten so many techs to earn a suspension.
That last tech he got wasn't even called until James whined to the media about it. Then he got the suspension...after the fact. He wasn't even kicked out of the game. Please tell me this wasn't the NBA helping James without telling me the NBA wasn't helping James@@Rockleelives777
Draymond played in Game 6 and Game 7 correct?
@@williedynamite9369 Yeah, and also recorded a triple double in the game 7 loss. A forgettable stat.
Bro Bron played unbelievable anyone who’s watched the games have to give him that
That Cavs team was so legendary
Players’ “locked in” stories be sounding like cap but it be deadass 😂😂😂
I still feel that championship doesn’t get talked about enough, you have brons block, ky game winner, & coming back down from 3-1 in the FINALS against the greatest team to ever play the game
Bogut injury was the game changer.
Lol not really
Look i wanted the Warriors to win. But let's be real they choked or you could say they decided to have a slump at the worst time
The number 1 sporting comeback of all time 💯💪⛹️♂️🏆
Found out how to beat them beforehand and still got down 3-1 lol. LeBron and kyrie figured it out.
I still remember being right outside of the Cavs stadium the night they won. The streets were filled with people running everywhere and yelling/crying. I just remember slowly turning around and this guy put his hand out for me to slap it. It was like a deafening silence all around me but I knew the tension was high in the atmosphere. I slapped the gentleman’s hand really hard and at the moment our skin made contact, that’s when all of the sounds of the cities came pouring in.

@@kolbesmith1175 ayooooo🤣🤣🤣🤣
The refs and the league figured them out. The Cavs won game 7 flat out. That Lebron block, Kyrie 3 etc was master class. But the pivot in officiating in games 5 and 6 were obscene if you have watched NBA your whole life. The Draymond suspension and the officiating was highlighted by Tim Donaghy on Mike and Mike after game 5. That segment has been erased since, I wonder why 😂.
LeBron is the one that actually calmed me down by saying, it's okay, we're taking one game at a time, after each game, he was calm. My nerves were stretched to the limit, as a fan of the Cavs, and, here he was calming me down. Unforgettable performance by my Cavs.❤❤
When I was watching this game with my pops the cable had actually cut off the final two ish mins or minute and a half so I just kept refreshing google waiting for score updates 😂😂 I never got to even see the shot live. Watched the entire series though
Thanks Paul George , i watch translate korean!
People never talk about the Warriors being down 3-1 the round before
Huh? Yeah they do, that’s part of what made KD look so pathetic joining them.
Because it’s irrelevant you win a 3-1 then blow a 3-1 lead on the stage where it all counts that’s a master class L 💀💀💀
@@slimrocket1955 right, they say lebron joined superteams, but they ignore KD joining the hottest teams in the league
@@crizzleyo815 Everyone talks about this all the time
They should’ve never been down 3-1 to OKC in the first place
That 2016 Warriors team was the perfect of example of living and dying by the jump shot. They had no inside game; if their jumpers weren't falling they couldn't score. Meanwhile LeBron and Kyrie could get to the rim with ease. I'll never forget the feeling in the closing seconds of Game 7, when Kevin Love locked up Steph and made him miss his last shot and I realized the Cavs were actually going to win this thing and I was witnessing history. I watched all of MJ's championships and big moments live, but that Game 7 in 2016 is my favorite basketball memory.
No one pays attention to the fact that Harrison Barnes was missing wide open shots that entire series. It's easier to figure out any team if one of it's parts goes missing in action. I wish more people would pay attention to that fact instead of Draymond or even Bogut. GSW still should've won
Security seen that money put in the ceiling like 👏🏾
Thats why Draymond have insane stat line they let him
Why don’t nobody like to tell the truth? The draymond suspension and Bogut injury was critical
The game plan was Bogut breaking his leg and Draymond getting suspended. Props to Cavs for taking advantage of the moment. But the warriors were definitely a better team.
Thanks Kd for ruining Cavs Vs Warriors rivalry. It could have been special, but he decided to give Gs the Game genie cheat codes for automatic wins. #LAME
I remember game genie…
Shit….I’m old 😂
Okc deserves some credit for forcing the Warriors to comeback 3-1 prior to the finals
Hindsight is 10/10
Dame thats dope
PG hope next podcast KLove will be your guest...👌✔️💯👍😍
Cavs fan here, what won us that series is Andrew bought’s injury, games 5-7 kyrie had lay ups for DAYS and lebron was hammering down once a quarter, put bogut in and I think GS stays composed and gets some of those rebounds in game 7
Interesting take. Cavs were without Love & Kyrie for most/all of the series the year prior. You’d be hard pressed to get a GSW fan to admit that’s why they won.
@@Soopologynow that is 100% true, lebron was up 2-1 on GS before he ran out of gas in the 15 finals, with even kyrie playing they probably won.
That's a true statement for sure. We also lost Iggy in game 5 so when draymond came back we still didn't have rim protection.
Your perspective does exists, so I get it but here’s the thing, Bogut only played 12 minutes a game and he only averaged 3 rebounds and 3 points a game. I hear you on the rim protection where he averaged 2 blocks and altered even more, but what he contributed in those 12 minutes wasn’t enough to be the difference maker, for both wins and losses. He had 3 blocks in game 5 and the Cavs were still up when he got injured. He had 1 block and 2 rebounds in game 3 when the Cavs won by 30. He had zero blocks in game 1 when the Warriors won big. He had 1 block, 1 rebound and 0 points in 10 minutes when the Warriors won game 4. He wasn’t the reason they were up 3-1. Their small ball line up was. The line up the Cavs eventually figure out.
Yep.. that was the huge difference.. Bron and Kyrie went to the rim w/o any opposition
When are you goiWhen are you going to bring James Harden to the podcast? Really eager to listen to my favorite player! Greetings from Uruguay.
The refs and draymond being out really helped them too
yea for not calling their illegal screens
Draymond suspension and Curry getting into foul trouble are the biggest red flags I ever seen in a basketball game that the Refs were not impartial!
please, look at what draymond did that playoff run and continues to do to this day. He has only himself to blame
@@me-vy6wf he had 32 game 7? Cavaliers needed 7 games and the Warriors needed 5 to win…
TY lue is a great coach!!
Need a 30 for 30 on that series or a propee documentary was unbelievable how bron and kyrie played game 5 to 7
Ngl. Takin the 15th mans defensive advice in the last couple games of the NBA Finals. Wit everything that wuz on the line. And implementing it rite then and there is next level. Lebron indeed does have a beautiful basketball mind
If don’t give the ref their props, you aren’t telling the whole story…
Yeah….I agree with you….the refs gave GS all the calls….and they still lost!
This man straight calling lol Cavs were getting destroyed the first 4 games they didn’t have a game plan 😂 Draymond suspension broke Warriors momentum, Lebron and Kyrie played out of their minds, and Curry Klay and Harrison Barnes choked that’s all there is to it
2:27 PG had a moment there 😂
PG's respect for Bron is real, hopefully after retirement Bron would come on the show.
Thumbnail has us baited "Ty Lue Figured Them Out"
I don't think it takes any coach or even most human being that long to figure out you slack off someone who don't/can't shoot nor have the tendencies to do it.
I came in hoping to hear something Ty Lue did and that speaks a lot LMAO.
You can't gameplan your #1 option leading both teams in points/rebounds/assists/steals/blocks. 😂
Bogut getting injured and Draymond being suspended turned the series and then ky & bron went god mode but also Steph choked Game 7 that’s what it came down to.
That’s the weirdest serie in NBA History, game 7 was the only one close, games 1 to 6 were all blowouts.
Seems like the coach who prepared better for each game whooped the other coach ass.
Nope not at all. It’s Game 7 and at that point the players need to win that game. The first ever unanimous MVP threw the ball out of bounds, Kerr can’t control that. Kerr also can’t control LeBron having a triple double. Game 7, When the money is on the line, I’m looking for the superstar players to bring it home, not the coaches.
@@ICYMIINMIYreading comprehension is extremely lacking here 😂😂 And Lebron didn't do nothing on that 4th quarter but only that block against Iggy that he did sneakily from behind. Quit trying to shovel our throat as if it's all him as it was Kyrie who made the most monumental shot of that series, not Lebron! 😂
1. Bogut injury. Before Bogut's injury, the Cavs averaged 95.8 points per game. After Bogut's injury, the Cava averaged 106.7 points per game. This is the single largest reason why the Warriors lost the series.
2. Iggy injury in game 6
Ty Lue just figured out that the Warriors were hurt.
The game was rigged by the NBA anyway. GSW never had a chance lol
Yea but losing bogut can hardly compare to the cavs not having kyrie or love the year before
The cavs were without Kyrie and KLove the year prior and I don’t hear yall ever giving grace for that
I ain’t tryna hear it 😤
Yep, this was probably the biggest reason for the series loss.
Everyone knows that series was rigged. Black mark on lebron’s legacy if anything
Also draymknd got suspended a whole game… he was at his prime then, made a difference
Missed a bron 41 piece yall said if he was there that bron 41 piece game wouldn’t have happened then he returned and caught 41 😂😂😂
The Greatest Finals Ever 73 win team with 3-1 comeback💪🐐
In what way did he figure them out being down 3-1?😂 I’m confused… did they not have help from the league? Suspending Draymond didn’t play a factor? How were they figured out?
He missed 1 game came back and bron game him the same 41 piece he missed the game before 😂
@@aaotrey106right 😂 the Cavs needed to win 3 in a row. There’s zero justification for the warriors failing to win a 1

All star podcast P ? Kd and book would go crazy or dame and Giannis or Bron
Aside for the big momentum swings, it really came down to star power. Kyrie is fairly even with Steph and Bron had Harrison Barnes who was left open all series long which is why the addition was necessary. Klay was a no show like he is now.
“Couldn’t script it better than that” real
Bogut breaking his leg & Iggy tweaking his back helped.
Here we go, *Well Kyrie & Love being hurt with ankle and shoulder injuries help Golden state (GS) win the 2015 Finals* In 2016 GS losses 3-1 lead to Cavs for the 1st Ever Championship tmk.
Then 2017 GS, Draymond, and Curry run and recurits and gets KD, after KD lost to them then joined them.
All of this was done for one man LJ which *shows how dangerous the Cavs* were pending Kyrie stays & Matures and how great LJ is.
@demontiakpinkney5881 no. I'm just making sure that the facts are out there. Dubs won in '15 because of injuries Cavs won in '16 because of injuries. When both teams were healthy, Dubs won back to back.
@@rameroyale5189 Yea but *you fail to mention that it wasn't the Orginal Golden State (GS) that was the healthy team they added Kevin Durant in 2017 & into 2018* then GS dismissed him in 2019 after losing to Raptors in Finals because KD and Klay were hurt, a reflection of 2015 finals just reversed.
So dont act like in 2017 & 2018 they didnt have KD, it wasnt just *Curry, Draymond and Klay* had GS not added KD, LJ and Cavs are winning in 2017 & 2018 Finals pending Kyrie stays and matures and understands his role with LJ.
What about 2015? Cavs woulda won the title that year if Kyrie and love never got hurt. curry wasn’t ready to lead that team yet
@demontiakpinkney5881 stop it, you sound stupid. All that "would'a, could'a, should'a" talk is dishonest. The way it played out was the way it was supposed to play out. Make an argument based on facts not ur feelings.
Bron and Kyrie dropping 40 each is still one of my favourite performance of all time. Both as a duo was so mf raw
Bro said I would tell him stuff and he would do it 🤣😂🤣
They just trying not to lose, not trying to win. Major difference!
Forget all dat I need PG to start scoring wth goin on wit bro 😂😂😂🤦🏾♂️
PG, your time might come this year - Ty Lue has the Clips playing like a juggernaut
Momentum is real man. Cavs did what they were suppose to do, but draymond let bron bait him with a few minutes left in the game and he fell for it. That was the first and biggest domino in my opinion. Bron and kyrie played they ass off though.
Pg1 are the best shoe of all time
Wrong. D Rose Adizero super Light
@lazy_nut5725 You’re insane

Meh. Probably some sketchers.
The only thing that was rigged that year was allowing KD by commissioner to join them.
That wasn't rigged. The commissioner can't block a player from signing in FA, lol. This wasn't a Lakers CP3 trade type deal
@@Fieryvortex48 It doesn’t matter was it trade or free agency. That move should never be allowed. Destroyed basketball for 3 years. Only thanks to massive injuries they didn’t 3-peat.

@@brandan2468 Nah in 2017, I would've had OKC winning had KD never left. Then in 2018 they could've gotten PG. That would've been an insane team
@@brandan24682015 LeBron played without Kyrie and Kevin. Warriors would definitely loss if either one of the would play. 2016 is well known. Cavs would beat Warriors again in 2017. There is a reason why they went for KD.
That Game 4 loss made Lebron snap. He felt they absolutely should have won that game and let it slip from them
Figured it out? Yeah they definitely figured it out after bogut and Iggy got hurt thats when they knew they stood a chance 😂😂
No one gives Cavs grace for going 6 games without Love/Kyrie in 2015. No one says it was rigged in GSW favour. No one says it was rigged when Kawhi and Raptors won it. If the Cavs could win 2 damn games without Kyrie and Love, then GS should be able to win a SINGLE game without Bogut. Enough with the excuses. They choked and then ran to beg KD to join. End of.
Well obviously they weren't wrongly suspended, they were injured.. and anyway anyone with common sense said back then that the cavs would've won 2015 with kyrie and love
@@erawwwww Green played game 6 and 7. Bogut averaged 5pts/5rbs/1.6 blks in 17mins. They couldn't win 1 game without Bogut? Entire team from coaching staff to players choked that series away. Cavs won 2 somehow without Kyrie/Love.....GS should be able to win 1 game at home at the very least.
@@blackcloud4126 they should've won curry playing like dogshit idk why people don't get on curry enough about his performance in that series
Nobody said 2015 was rigged because a player didn’t get suspended after the game had ended and nobody got fouled out on ticky tack fouls in another game. I’m not saying it was rigged but it surely looked that way
Well, because there were no dodgy calls and suspensions in those games. And there was no way Curry was gonna win his 4th ring, with the best regular season record, before James
One of the most beautiful comebacks in pro sports history
If Draymond wasn’t suspended for game 5, Warriors win 5-1.
That cavs team came together like crazy, everyone was adding their input, even dahntay and mo williams lol. Also Tristan Thompson destroyed the warriors as soon as bogut got injured
Thats discrediting Tristian he averaged 10 pts 13 boards in 2015 against healthy dray and bogut they couldn’t stop him
Lud didn’t figure sht, the Commissioner figured it out 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Losing game 5 while ur up 3-1 doesnt lose u the series 😂😂😂
Couldn’t “SCRIPT” it better than that
One thing people never talk about was Currys choke session that whole series. This was 2016 Steph we’re talking about, he was missing shots that whole series that he would pretty leisurely cash in during the season. Off the dribble, fall always, deep threes, contested, he was making all these shots that season with the highest efficiency, so if he didn’t produce that choke job of a show he did during the finals 2016, Lebrons legacy would’ve been different, and the Cavs would’ve lost 4-0, cause they were already down 3-1 while Curry was not playing like his unanimous MVP self, so imagine what would’ve happened if Curry was playing like he did during the season 👀. But Curry choked and Kyrie and Lebron didn’t so the rest is history.
The biggest what if is "What if Draymond doesn't get suspended? (Bogut doesn't get injured?)" But yea Ty Lue "figured" them out lol
Thank Kyrie for being clutch
It wasn’t just Ky tho.. it was everyone doing the job.. Love with the defensive stop on Curry after the shot….
Once they figured out the NBA wanted to extend the series. Cool story
Yeah, they knew once Bron cried to the NBA for a play that wasn't even called a flagrant within the game and got suspended for that next game. Changed the entire dynamics of the series... STOP!
🧢
Woah what's hella krazy is b4 reading the title to this video I've nvr heard anyone in media or fans give the coach any credit for the adjustments
It's called grasping at straws
Lue figured out they were suspended and injured. ☠
Cope. 3-1 L.
Suspended for 1 game, they had 2 more chances to win 1 game with the full roster and couldn’t do it.
And Steph said himself he was fine that series.
You done crying?
Nobody want to hear injury excuses 😂 like kyrie and love didn’t get hurt in 2015 n still took ya 6
Ty didn’t figure out anything. Lebron and Cavs fans always pointed out injuries in the first finals. But refuse ti recognized steph was playing on a sprained knee and sprained ankle that entire series or that bogut was injured and missed a game and the draymond suspension was a killer. But the warriors didn’t get that excuse. The fact is the warriors weren’t at 100% either and that series went 7 games down to a final shot. People act like the Cavs just blew GS out. Anyone with eyes could tell Steph wasn’t right that series.
Everything changed when green wasn't able to play when lebron walked over him, bron knew what he was doing.
Everybody always acts like it wasn’t Kyrie that saved them that year. LeBron got all the praise but Kyrie deserved it along with the MVP. Also, Kyrie even said KOBE told him what to do!
... Bro keep saying WE 🤣
Dude played 2 mins, 5 mins , 5 mins , 1 min , 2mins ,2mins and 0 mins ..
It was THEY , Them . . .
You need players that’s push and make the starters better at practice. You wouldn’t know tho 🤨
Bogut going down, Iggy’s back going out and Draymond getting suspended is why things changed in that series.
Don’t forget about the unanimous mvp being injured
All facts
so why lebron score 41 without dray and 41 with him coming back?
Hope you kept that same energy from the finals before no Kyrie no Kevin love
@@crizzleyo815because Bogut got hurt in game 5 he had 4 blocks in 7 mins in game 5 then was out the rest of the series . When Dray came back bogut was out. If you notice Bron and Kyrie weren’t dropping 40 until Bogut was out of the paint.
The greatest finals ever imo
Na that belongs to 2010.
Sports betters knows whats up!
Stimulus package
Draymond played game 6 and had game of his life game 7 and they lost lol
@@drey6111 they had no momentum at that point game 5 if dray plays it’s over
That series is when Leking James became the greatest player of all time 👑🐐
Ty Lue coaching was underrated. Way better than doc rivers as a coach
Best Finals I’ve Ever Witnessed!
