LeBron James did exactly what he said he was going to do upon his second life in a Cleveland Cavalier uniform. That was bring a title to his starving city. It had been 5 decades if you hadn't heard.
Mr. James was outstanding in this series and was most deserving of the series MVP, but he had somebody riding shotgun who almost wrestled that title from him. That is one Mr. Kyrie Irving. It was before, but now more than ever, it is their land. The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Golden State Warriors in game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals 93-89 to take home the championship hardware.
The four time league MVP in James had already had two out of state championships under his belt and over a decade of personal achievement and spectacular play. Irving was a star from Duke who has had flashes of amazing offensive explosions followed by long periods on the pine due to various nagging injuries over the years. The injury bug was the one opponent he seemed unable to shake with his sick handle. Until this year that is. Both seemed to find their absolute best when they seemed to be at their absolute bottom.
