Ending Cleveland's Long Wait

In the 2016 NBA Finals, LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers faced the Golden State Warriors, who had won a record 73 games. Cleveland fell behind 3-1, but no team had ever come back from that deficit in the Finals. LeBron, who had returned to Cleveland in 2014, led a stunning rally to force Game 7 at Oracle Arena in Oakland.

Game 7 was tense and low-scoring. Late in the game, LeBron chased down Andre Iguodala and blocked his layup, a play remembered as The Block. Kyrie Irving then hit a go-ahead three over Stephen Curry, and Cleveland won 93-89.

LeBron was named unanimous Finals MVP, and coach Tyronn Lue, who had taken over midseason, celebrated a title. It ended Cleveland's 52-year wait for a major pro sports championship since the 1964 Browns, sparking huge celebrations.
