73-9 Warriors or 72-10 Bulls ?
LeBron prime!πͺ
I was so happy when Cleveland overcame that 3-1 deficit and ended the Cleveland sports curse in 2016. At the time, I despised the Warriors with a flaming passion.
The best thing that has happened in our generation. The greatest game 7 in history I'll never forget this.
2010 was my favoriteππ½ RIP Beanππ½π
Greatest comback…. Yeah lets slow down here man it was great legendary accomplishment by Bron and the Cavs but greatest if the warriors were at full strength but thats not what happened. Steph fucked up his MCL vs the rockets and while still good wasn't the same, Draymond suspension, Iggy and Bogut get hurt like come on it was great but not a GOAT accomplishment ππ
I am a fan of Golden Hoops!
Also, can you do a video on the Denver Nuggets' full championship run from 2023? Iβd love to see a recap of Nikola JokiΔ winning his first championship and his entire 2023 playoff journey to the championship. You sometimes usually often focus on specific playoff series and full championship runs as of right now, so this would be an awesome addition to your content!
Cavs beat the best team ever 73-9 and came back in the finals π€π€ how bron ainβt the goat π€¦π½ββοΈπ€¦π½ββοΈ
Golden State Warriors,Mavericks and Golden State Valkyries
9:20
βOne of the greatest games in nba historyβ he was not wrong 0:05
Yea this hands down one of if not the greatest finals ever man. Bron and Kyrie were historic but Bron just went super saiyin and led BOTH teams in ever category. Insane
Cavaliers in 7
Imagine this had been LeBron, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh Big 3 facing the 73-9 Warriors the same way. That would have been dope π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯
THIS WAS THE ABSOLUTE BEST FINALS I HAVE SEEN IN THE LAST 9 YEARS WITH KAWHI & THE TORONTO RAPTORS PLAYOFFS & FINALS TAKING 2ND PLACE.
