LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers overcame a 3-1 deficit to win the NBA finals tonight (June 19). The Cavaliers defeated the Warriors at Oracle Arena in Oakland 93–89 and in doing so, became the first team to recover from a 1–3 deficit to win Cleveland’s first championship in any sport in 52 years.
Kyrie Irving, who scored 21 points, dropped a three point bomb with :53 seconds left on the clock in the 4th quarter, that ended the Warriors hopes for another championship. LeBron put in what many believe was his best performance ever, earning him the title of Most Valuable Player. He ended up with a triple double, pouring in 27 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists.
Everyone from Jay Z to Wale congratulated LeBron James. “Wow. One of the best finals ever,” Jay Z tweeted months of silence on Twitter. “So proud of King James. Salute Warriors Happy Father’s Day to all.” Breakfast Club host Charlamagne Tha God even vowed to stop hating on the Cleveland NBA Star after his thrilling performance. “Can’t slander Lebron James no mo,” Charlamagne said. “All Lebron slander is finish and done.”
