Let’s take a look at how Cleveland did the impossible by coming back from a 3-1 series deficit against Golden State and focus on fun, improbable things like:
LeBron and the Cavs defied all logic to silence the Warriors

• How LeBron James exists among mere basketball humans, while doing things like blocking an Andre Iguodala transition layup out of nowhere and doing so at what felt like 57 feet above sea level
• The complete disappearance of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson from behind the arc and the Warriors NEEDING a transcendent performance from Draymond Green (6-of-8 three-pointers, one assist short of a triple-double)
• The much maligned Kevin Love making an enormous defensive play AND ending Game 7 with the highest +/- (+19) of any Cavalier
• The Cavs getting almost nothing from their bench (Mozgov and Dellavedova combined for zero minutes) and getting everything out of their top six or seven
• Kyrie Irving establishing himself as the most dangerous one-on-one player in the league with constant control over the ball and his place on the court
• Cleveland somehow winning a championship on an enormous, dramatic stage
