The Greatest Championship in the Last 20, 30 Years

The greatest most important shot was taken by Kyrie Irving with about 50 seconds left in Game 7, a step back three that proved to be the game winner. The Cabs won by four points for two reasons: Kevin Love played remarkably tough defense on Steph Curry and LeBron made a free throw. James attempted a monster dunk near the end of regulation that, if he had made it, would have been the greatest in-game dunk in NBA history,. But he missed the dunk and was injured on the foul. He got up and eventually made one of two foul shots that put the game out of reach, and it put him out of reach too.
