Everyone talks about Draymond's suspension, noone talks about Kevin Love's concussion.
Not 100% Steph (grade 2 mcl sprain), Draymond suspension, Iguodala and Bogut out with bad backs. Warriors had some pretty bad luck but it made up for the previous year when Kyrie and Love were injured. It sucks we never got to see these teams be full strength against each other before KD arrived. Oh well, great series though.
Ignacio Rutabaga D.D.S.
I feel like the cavs and warriors both won each other’s championships, what I mean by that is if the cavs weren’t injured in 2015 they would have won bc the warriors weren’t experienced yet but in 2016 the warriors would have won without their injuries
Ignacio Rutabaga D.D.S. This is the best comment to explain the 2 finals
Man look if Kyrie and Kevin Love could have stayed healthy then Tire time like LeBron did they would have been Unstoppable Kyrie and Kevin Love just weren't the same after those injuries even though Kyrie was able to still muster up enough strength to help them win a ring neither player has been the same since their major injuries
E B Exactly dude. Honestly if injuries were not in the playoffs in the last 5 years.... WARRIORS Win 4 out 5 chips
WHY IS IT SOOOO BLURRY!!!!!!
Brian Martinez if u want the good version just go and watch 2016 nba finals mini movie that’s a banger 👌🏾💯
Cause they dont want you to see the refs cheating 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Official Johnny Rocket lmaoo someone mad
@@adrianog5936 get real fool. Warriors 3-1 over lebron lol in chips
@@ellsworthconstructionllc 3 titles but all of them combined are not even close to meaning as much as the one that the Cavs got
These series bring Tears of Joy. The drama, moments and history, as you see legends in LeBron and Kyrie rise to the occasion. Best series ever.
Josimar Lopes 2013 spurs vs heat in my opinion is the greatest nba finals of all time
*OH BLOCKED BY JAMES* 🔥🔥🔥🔥
For sure.
@@yo-yp8vj lol
I completely forgot Curry threw that mouthpiece
He was big mad
*OH BLOCKED BY JAMES* 🔥🔥🔥🔥
That block on iggy. Never forget. Best clutch play off all time.
Greatest defensive play of all time but ray Allen's three was fire
@@yobro6053and kyrie too
vid quality feels like the series happened in 2002 not 2016...
IKR
I thought I was the only one lol
@@bananapeel7636 Nahh
Probably one of the most unbelievable accomplishments in sports. The moment he fell to his knees in tears after that final buzzer in Oakland is when he became the G.O.A.T. to me
Cousin Chris 2011 was when he solidified himself as #2 at best for me. The dude folded, and Goats don’t fold
Marcus Barnhart Exactly idc if he beat a 73 win team....MJ had 2 3-peats n he showed up in clutch consistently, also had a 72-win season
It would've been unbelievable... had the Warriors been 100% healthy but they weren't. Couple that with a 1-game suspension of a core piece of the Warriors and you had the comeback. Congrats to LeBron who's still 3-6 in the Finals and still short of MJ's accolades.
That was the moment he became the GOAT. And everything that he accomplishes after that just adds to his resumè
@@PeterJustGames exactly
i will never forget this finals, miss it so much!!
Vitoria Alves we ain’t had a good one since imo
@@kellz1703 suns bucks
And after 4 years, I still get goosebumps whenever i get to remember this finals. Simply no words could describe the emotions pumping through my body at that game. I was at the second row that time wearing a cavs jersey surrounded by warriors fan. I cant tell you how happy I was shouting at their faces when the buzzer sounded at game 7
I know it sounds cool but when you think about it what is the point of making things up? Were you hoping to get alot of comments so you could feel important, or are you just living some fairytale? I’m honestly interested in understanding the thought process of people like you
This is when kyrie earned his superstar status💯💯
He is a great side kick but a superstar like Kobe or a lebron ...no.
He is a great sidekick but a superstar like a kobe or a lebron?... no
@@yobro6053 Kyrie hit the big shots,
@@jonathanlaque4248 SHOT not shots.L ebron has more 4th quarter points I believe in the series.
@@jonathanlaque4248 he can show up alright- just not consistently. he's all star, definitely not superstar. he's not capable of leading a team on his own, despite his ego deluding him into believing that.
I hope the NBA would replay this on their channel
swaggy p yesss plz
SAME YO IT WOULD BE SO FUN TO TROLL THE SALTY WARRIORS FANS IN THE CHAT
@@sydoesgames especially because they won the year before and two years after that. And one of they two rings after that involved a sweep.
@@dezzydee3013 salty warriors fan huh?
@@dezzydee3013 kd warriors rings were irrelevant. Nobody except warrior fans acknowledge them.
CHILLS! Every time.
the 05 finals 06 finals 2010 finals 2013 finals & 2016 finals best ive ever watched
GS lost and Draymond Green went crying to Durant😂🤷🏽♂️
unknown unknownn U jealous they actually got him lol
kabagema yannick who wouldn’t
And lebitch went crying for AD
unknown unknownn Well LeBron and Windhorst went crying to the league first, just saying.
unknown unknownn nah, OKC lost and KD Went crying to Draymond, who said nah fam we’d rather have the cap space
Greatest comeback ever. Lebrons block and kyries last jumper did it for them.
and Bron's freethrow sealed it.
I love the 2011 finals because my Mavs did their thang, but this finals hits different because of how the Cavs won. Down 3-1 and still win. Best series I've seen in a while.
This quality
This is one of the best series ever
Imagine if JR never tripped of that henny, would’ve been best finals win ever 51 pts 🐐💯💪
Mexico Goat NYC the cavs woulda probably still lose the series but that definitely could have made things interesting. The man played his heart out and to lose like that just ended everything.
It's still one of Lebrons best games and still legendary just not a win attached to it. The outcome would still be the same
it pretty much sums up his career in that one game.. greatest player but teammates not so good lol
They would've still lost the series but they definitely should've won that first game
Bruh the first time they uploaded this 140p was the only option lmao
This was the best series I’ve ever seen. Absolutely legendary
Remember when Klay called Bron a cry baby after game 4? Woke up the king that day and lost himself a chip.
lmao klay has no business talm bout bron
Then Klay walked off the court without shaking hands
The greatest finals series in NBA history nothing comes even close.
Looking back at it it was one of the greatest series of all time
Lebron winning this and Dirk winning in 2011 are my 2 favorite playoff runs of all time
Iconic runs fasho.🔥🔥
100% agreed
Mine as well.
Dirk and jkidd winning one at an old age to the team that drafted them with dirk being a lifer was amazing
probably gonna be the greatest series ever for a while. the drama, stars in play, etc just hyped it up even more.
this series was so fun to watch
This title meant more than the warriors 3 combined
If the cavs earned this one, then gs earned the first one.
@@Cagon415 gs earned the 1st one? from what? the cavs without their 2 main players? LMAO
the Warriors first is cool
Arhum Ahmad it’s better than the other ones, that’s fosho, but not really. Warriors had steph, klay, Andre, Draymond against a cavs team without k love n kyrie. The 2016 one was far better. It was a healthy cavs team facing a healthy warriors team
@@worrystone4109 no i agree with that. but imo i cant' take credit away from GS because Cleveland was injured. they still had to beat tough teams to get to the finals and it's not their fault Cleveland was injured
This was a classic NBA Finals right here 🔥🔥
Imagine sitting on the cavs bench being down 3-1 against the best regular season team of all time. It’s just so amazing they were able to come back and defeat them and still amazes me to this day. While not every game was amazing, this finals was the best imo
in 2015 if no one was injured then cavs woulda takin it all
yes lebron would 4-0 against that curry guy if no injuries and kd. Curry is overrated af
Yup if they just had kyrie they would of won in 6-7
he took curry to 6 by himself so if he had kyrie and love they would have won
Just the video I was lookin for thank u🙏🏽
Two amazing stars pushed back the tides of a rising dynasty. Yeah I’d cheer for them every time. Possibly the greatest most deserved title ever.
Last good finals
Mad your warriors got their dynasty ended by the klaw?
one of if not the most difficult championship ever. sometimes its not just the quantity, but its the quality.
Lebron stepping over Draymond was lowkey a chess move. Lebron knows Draymond is a very emotional player and was in danger of getting suspended a game so what does he do steps over him and gets him all rattled up then gets a technical for him to miss a game. That throws the warriors off there game and them to lose the series.
But Dray came back game 6 & 7. What happened? I'll tell you, they lost and he went outside the parking lot to call KD. He knew that they couldn't stop LeBron (not with Kyrie and Kevin backing him). Draymond is a smart player, he knows they wouldn't have won 2015 chip if Love and Irving weren't injured (because there is no answer for Bron with their roster at the time).
@@xXFUEGIxX and this was a sweep if green was never suspended. Shoulda woulda coulda.
@@Cagon415 Cavs won game 3 by a blow out. And Green got suspended in Game 4 (by the way, GSW won that game). The series was 2-1 going into game 4 and 3-1 going into game 5. So...where's the sweep?
@@Cagon415 smoke dust
This is the best finals I’ve watched in my life
this will forever be one of the greatest moments.
Your Champions from Cleveland !! 😎!!
Straight Goosebumps!
The best NBA finals comeback in NBA history🔥🏀
1 of the GOAT NBA Finals series i have ever seen
Klay is to blame with that interview
It changed the series for sure. People say it was the Draymond suspension but nope. This was it.
Yep, the moment Klay said it's a man's league, it changed everything
imagine already celebrating before not winning yet
One of the best finals ever, beating a 73-9 team!
Down 3-1 with the best season record in the NBA. Unbelievable
Legendary
Most dramatic finals series in all of NBA history, imo. There's a reason it was thought that nobody comes back after being down 3 to 1. Because it's next to impossible, and against a 73-9 record setting NBA team. Unreal.
As big as kyrie was in game 7 third qtr, they should have started with jr Smith 8 straight to open it up.
Kyrie was unbelievable in that 3rd quarter tho, pulled the Cavs out of the water
This Series changed the whole perspective for me towards LeBron. That performance, That Block made him the GOAT for me forever.
This is NOT the greatest Finals. Only Game 7 was great. The other 6 games were blowouts.
Greatest finals Story
"LeBron is washed and is out of it. Kyrie isn't good enough to even help him come back from this 3-1 deficit..." that's what made it the best to me. The build up made game 7 so great that it's the best finals of all time. To me at least
Cleveland… Dis 1 for u 😢classic 👑🏀🔥💯‼️
Watching this gave me chills
Why is the video quality so crappy this is ESPN not some CZcamsr stealing footage
Those were the good times
A game that I will forever cherish in my heart and me being from Ohio thank you Lebron James Kyrie Irving and most importantly Kevin Love the whole entire 2016 roster
When Bron officially became the goat
So, never?
Bron been the goat since 2002
Beating a roster with an injured Curry with Barnes and Bogut starting? LMAOOO
so what was he when he got swept and said his hand was broke after game 1 but was throwing alley oops to his self all series? So let me get this straight goats get swept right.? even the pelicans got to win against Golden State and then the Golden State warriors went on and swept the Cavs after going six games against the rockets.
No Lebron isn't the GOAT, Lebron is anywhere from #3 to #6 All-Time.
You fanboys are delusional & eat up media narratives.
I forgot Love went out with a concussion in game 2. That’s not talked about like the “stimaless” package Stephen A said the Cavs got after Draymond got his millionth tech and finally got suspended 🙄
i got chills... again
8:40 Lebron laugh changed the series 😂😂
BEST FINALS ALLTIME everybody says mj had a better 'peak' and that why he is the goat...but to me this finals shows that lebron actually had the highest peak in NBA history with this championship therefore lebron is the GOAT
@Thomas Sankara Hakeem is very underrated for some reason. He's better than people give him credit for.
@Thomas Sankara ur a casual. Nobody beats MJ... NOBODY
@@Onlyreal23 except lebron you're the casual
Nah MJ is definitely the GOAT. Lebron is great but he’ll never match what Jordan accomplished
Best NBA finals for me❤️
would have won the year before if his 2nd best player wasn’t delevanova bc kyrie and love were injured...
Go Golden State Warriors
That was perfect
Thank you ESPN !!!
Ill never forget running outside waking my neighborhood when cleveland won
Hands down the greatest nba finals I’ve ever seen.
Dirk beating the heat is my fav.
watching this to hopefully get some good vibes for the lakers
look at curry, man. so inspirational
This and the 2011 Finals are the greatest underdog victories
Df is this quality!
Game 7 felt like it was the game of the century
What it took LeBum to beat the Warriors:
- Curry getting injured.
- Draymond getting suspeneded in an elimimation game.
- Draymond avoiding a tech in Game 6 to get another suspension (reason why LeBum dropped 41), Draymond went all out in Game 7 and LeBum shot 9-24.
- Iggy suffering back spasms.
- Bogut getting injured.
- Kyrie averaging 30 PPG in the last three games.
- A lucky Iman Shumpert 4 point play in Game 7.
- JR Smith scoring 9 straight iso points in the 3rd quarter when the Warriors were about to pull away.
- Harrison Barnes bricking wide open shots than any NBA player world make.
Despite all of that, it took LeBum one possession in 7 games to beat this depleted and dysfunctional Warriors team. Wow, some “GOAT”
Lmaooo the hate is strong with this one
LOL
What it took for warriors to win the 2015 championship
-Jrue holiday getting injured
-mike Conley injured
-James harden setting all time TO record in the playoffs
-Kyrie getting injured
-kevin love getting injured
Joseph Hermanowski Like those bums would’ve made a difference LMAO.
Lebron's living in your head rent free
Best year of nba history
Most meaningful championship ever. Nothing else comes even close!
No, Dirk nowitzki championship when he was the only all Star on his team and he beat the Miami heat with LeBron , D Wade and Chris Bosh. That was a underdog win if there ever was one because Dirk nowitzki is not even known for being athletic. And his number two person was Jason Terry . And he stayed on one team his entire career.
Yeah suspending draymond, ejectimg curry, and playing against harrison barnes getting most of the possessions is meaninglful lmfao
Curry Never Gives Up
really? looks like he did in this series
Greatest finals of all time
Kyrie snapped 🔥
Best day of my life as far as being a basketball fan
Cleveland Cavaliers drought is over
No flightreacts
Look at curry such a legend man
Guys like JR Smith and Tristan Thompson stepped up big time in this series
WARRIORS BLEW A 3-1 LEAD
Yep
3 chips 💀 and u highlighting their lowest point. Haters gon hate
@@kabagemayannick5097 Hes highlighting what this video is about lol
This is what we have been waiting for
What happened to he quality of the video?? 😭😭😭😭 it was only 4 years ago??
Dang ESPN - we really couldn't get full HD?
Best Finals ever!
this championship is the greatest of all time.
Best.Finals.Of.All.Time
One of the sweetest words in the world. Game 7. Dude needs to get checked.
Please do the 2011 NBA Finals: Mavericks vs. Heat in 13 minutes | NBA Highlights🔥
Everyone seems to forget the impact that Bogut had on this series. As soon as he got injured everything changed. Bron and Kyrie could drive and the series shifted.
Bro stop. They lost three games in a row because bogut was out?
Jahleel X lmao you obviously don’t see what he’s talking about 😂😂😂😂
I'm sorry but no other team or she would be given that excuse because they're 5th or 6th best player getting injured. The Warriors were great because of the splash brothers and Draymond. That saying he didn't contribute but you gotta overcome
“Cleveland!! This is for you”
Bron and kyrie single handily carried this team. Everyone on the cavs were a ghost
deadass
Does anybody know the betting odds when the Cavs were down 3-1?
The 2013 Finals as a whole was actually more exciting than the 2016 Finals but even that one had mostly blowouts. Only Game 1, 6, and 7 were close.
Pat4Clippers I agree, I think the 2005, 2006, 2010, and 2011, 2015 Finals are the best of this century. Way more entertaining and evenly matched
Greatest Finals comeback run in recent history
in ALL history….this has never been done before and it won’t happen again for a long time
Don’t let this distract you from the fact KD dropped buckets on Bron 2 finals in a row and Bron ran to the Lakers and missed the playoffs and cried to get AD on the Lakers
So dude..what that say bout kd. How he get in that position to go to 2 finals.
@@darnellsawyer3156 And don't let that distract you from KD blowing a 3-1 lead earlier then crying that he was tired of coming in 2nd and running to golden state. Then crying again an running to Brooklyn while injured
you sound dumb
12:30 Imagine someone telling Draymond he’s the best player on the court with Lebron Kyrie Curry and Thompson out there LOL
