I'm starting to think LeBron actually might be the best of all time. This was an unreal comeback fueled 75% by himself, with a nod to Kyrie stepping up, Richard Jefferson (!) stepping up, and Draymond shooting his team in the foot with his suspension.
Cleveland absolutely deserves it after all this time. What a way to end a championship drought.
George Michael weighed his options. Maeby had chastised him for not taking risks, and what would be a bigger risk than perpetuating a lie about software just to ignite the passions of a woman? Of course it would be a lie, and since Maeby wouldn't know it was a lie, he wouldn't appear to be taking a risk. Perhaps the bigger risk was to tell his father he was lying, that he came up with it because he wanted his father to leave so he could enjoy what remained of his senior year. After all, he wondered, wouldn't that be the course of action taken by an overtly sexual man, a man who owns a pair of matador pants? He had not responded now for 41 seconds according to his unfailing internal clock, and it was time to come clean.
Turning 60 this year and growing up in NE Ohio, this is great for the area. Even though I haven't lived there for 25 years, my heart will always be back there and after all that region has been through, this is something I was starting to think would never happen. Now if the Browns could just go 500 for a season.

That last 5 minutes damn near killed everyone. The Cleveland massive fail dialog was writing itself, when neither team could budge off of 89 until. that. dagger. Even then, there was enough time for one of those impossible Warrior threes, and then Lebron got hurt and so he'd miss those free throws and they'd take it to OT and he'd be injured and they'd steamroll us and ohthankgodhehitoneofthem holy crap we're up four don't hit a three and foul and OHMYGODTHEYDIDIT!!!!!
Amazing. I could hear the whole neighborhood start whooping. Ran down to join the watch party at a neighbor's house; hugs and high-5's for all. Random fireworks were going off around the neighborhood.
This streak of futility was 11 years older than me. I honestly never thought I'd see this day.
Kevin Love with the Austin celebration was great.

Admittedly I thought Cleveland was going to lose composure. Heck, toward the end of the game I saw JR Smith complaining to the refs and lose his man in the process.
Nice win for Cleveland. This was the best finish to an NBA Finals since Celtics vs. Lakers in 2010.
