Where does this Finals MVP rank all-time in LeBron James’s career?
1. 2016
- LeBron’s stats for the series: 29.7 PPG, 11.3 RPG, 8.9 APG while shooting 49.4%/37.1%/72.1%
- Opponent: Golden State Warriors (73-9 regular-season record, #1 regular-season offensive rating, #5 regular-season defensive rating)
The 2016 NBA Finals. This is probably LeBron James’s crowning achievement.
Down 3-1 the Cleveland Cavaliers mounted a furious comeback and defeated the team with the best regular-season record in NBA History as well as the first unanimous MVP. James and Kyrie Irving were sensational in this series. But it was LeBron who led the way for Cleveland.
According to Basketball Reference’s Game Score stat, LeBron had the best performance in an NBA Finals Game in History during Game 6. This series also features probably LeBron’s signature play of his career. I think it does it more justice by hearing Mike Breen’s voice:
Always remember kids, 73-9 and they lied.
