This game alone proves why LeBron James deserved the MVP title unanimously. Get all of the MVP and Cavs Championship celebrations inside!
It was far from an easy road, so it makes it that much sweeter. The Cavs edged out the Warriors (who played a hell of a series themselves). And made plenty of history making moves at the same time.
It's the first NBA championship for the Cavs franchise, the first time a team has come back from a 3-1 deficit to win the NBA championship, and it's the 100th playoff victory in #CavsHistory.
Bron had a triple double (team-high 27 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists) and is the first player to make it to 5 straight NBA Finals.

LeBron was the most emotional we've ever seen him after the win, as expected, and dropped to his knees in tears after the win. He promised his home state a Championship, and he delivered.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver named Lebron the NBA Finals MVP by unanimous decision. Check it:

Remember when the Warriors popped champagne all in the visitors' locker room on the Cavs' home arena? Well the new Champs returned the favor:
