(1) 2016 Finals – Cavaliers vs. Warriors

LeBron James was heavily criticized for leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat in the summer of 2010. Not only were fans upset James abandoned his hometown team to form what’s widely considered the first of the ‘superteam’ era, but he did it before bringing a championship back to the city for the first time since the Browns in 1964.

When James returned four years later, that mission was back on. Turns out the city wouldn’t have to wait much longer.

Facing the Golden State Warriors, who set the NBA’s new single-season wins record at 73-9, it looked like it was going to be a short series when Cleveland fell into an 0-2 hole. A win in Game 3 served as a lifeline but Game 4 didn’t go Cleveland’s way and back to The Bay they went down 3-1 against possibly the best team in NBA history. Underdogs would have been sugar coating what the Cavs were.

A suspension to Warriors forward Draymond Green for Game 5 gave the Cavs some breathing room on the offensive end. James and Kyrie Irving took advantage, scoring 41 apiece to lead the way in a 112-97 win. Green was back for Game 6 but it didn’t matter as the Cavs led 31-11 after the opening quarter en route to a 14-point win to set up one of the sweetest things in sports – Game 7.

An NBA Finals is lucky if it has one signature moment fans can recall based on vague descriptors. Game 7 alone had two and they came within a minute of one another.

With under two minutes to go and the score tied 89-89, Golden State’s Andre Iguodala corralled a rebound and pushed ahead the other way on a fast break. As he dribbled toward the paint Iguodala gave it up to Steph Curry who gave it right back for what appeared to be an easy layup. Except James came from nowhere with a full head of steam, meeting Iguodala at the apex and pinning the ball against the glass.

"When he blocked it, I was like, 'Damn, somebody got shot.' I thought it was funny. Somebody just made a good play. What you want me to do? If you enjoy the game of basketball, you should just be like ‘Dude made a great play,’" Iguodala told ESPN the following October.

Less than a minute later, Kyrie Irving broke the tie with a cold-blooded three-pointer despite Curry’s hand in his face. Up until then, the whole series had been the Warriors’ to lose. Now it was finally Cleveland’s.

A hard foul on James sent him to the line where he made it a two-possession game. A pair of missed Golden State three-pointers later, the Cavs were champions.

"This was for them," James said on winning the Larry O’Brien Trophy for Cleveland.

 

Here is a look at the other finalist, the 2013 NBA Finals:

(3) 2013 Finals – Heat vs. Spurs

Game 3 of the 2013 NBA Finals was a disaster for the Miami Heat. Not only did all their momentum from a Game 2 victory two days before vanish with a 113-77 loss, but it was Miami’s worst playoff defeat in franchise history.

Having promised "Not one, not two, not three…" championships after the formation of the ‘Big Three’ in the summer of 2010, there was all sorts of pressure on LeBron James and the Heat to deliver a second title after winning their first a season before.

One thing the 2012-13 Heat had a knack for doing was bouncing back as they had not lost consecutive games since January. This held true once again as James poured in 33 to lead his team to a win in Game 4 and even the series 2-2. The Spurs took Game 5, so it was win or go home for the Heat in Game 6. And were they ever close to going home.

The Spurs were up five with the Larry O’Brien Trophy less than 30 seconds away but a three from LeBron trimmed the lead to two. After Miami fouled and Kawhi Leonard made one of two at the line, the Heat took it the other way down three looking for the tie. With just over 10 seconds to go, James caught a Mario Chalmers pass on the left wing and hoisted one from behind the arc to tie the game. Clank.

With Miami’s season flashing before their eyes, Chris Bosh grabbed a desperation offensive rebound and kicked out to Ray Allen. Known as one of the best three-point shooters in history, Allen stepped back and knocked down the biggest of his career to tie the game with 5.2 remaining. The Heat won in overtime and behind 37 from James in Game 7, took home their second consecutive NBA title.

"It was a shot, I happen to believe, that was the single greatest 3-pointer in the history of this league, regular season or playoffs," The Athletic’s David Aldridge wrote earlier this year of Allen’s season-saving three.
