With a sensational performance in Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals, LeBron James etched his name in basketball history and led the Cleveland Cavaliers to their first championship in 52 years.
The 32-year-old superstar put up staggering numbers throughout the playoffs, averaging 29.7 points, 11.3 rebounds, and 8.9 assists per game. James became the first player in NBA history to lead all three statistical categories in a single postseason.
In Game 7 against the Golden State Warriors, James was unstoppable. He scored 27 points, grabbed 11 rebounds, and dished out 11 assists, earning him the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player award.
"This is the greatest night of my life," James said after the game. "I've worked so hard to bring a championship to this city, and I'm so proud of my team and our fans."
