The 2016 NBA Finals may be one of the All-Time best. Featuring the great 73-9 win Warriors against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, this series was over before it started for many. By the time the Dubs took a 3-1 lead, the Cavs were given no chance to win.
Of course, LeBron, Kyrie, Kevin Love, and the rest of the crew ended up coming back from down 3-1 in what many still consider the greatest comeback in basketball history.
During game 7, there is one particular moment stands out above the rest.

Even back then, Kyrie was known for his ability to create his own shot and knock them down in late-game situations. Kyrie averaged 27 points per game that series and, together with LeBron, accounted for almost 400 of the team’s total points for the series.
Needless to say, that shot by Kyrie was the clincher that completed their comeback, and it was called by LeBron himself. For all the criticism Bron gets for his questionable late-game performances, it takes incredible humility and awareness to hand someone else the ball in situations like that.
Kyrie did not disappoint, either.
