LeBron part 2 (2014-2018) memories

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I was at game 4 in 2016.....after the Cavs went down 3-1 at home, I was within seconds of selling my game 6 tickets.....I watched GSW close out the Cavs the previous year and I wasn't sure I wanted to entertain that again. After a phone call with my dad, I decided to hang on to them and see what happened.

I'll just never forget that game for the rest of my life. As a season ticket holder, I was in that arena for so many big games and the air went out of the Q on almost every nervous occasion.....but that game 6 crowd, it was just on another level, like for the first time in Cleveland sports history they just smelled blood in the water. It's the loudest start to finish it has ever been IMO and LeBron set the tone in warmups. You could just tell he was so hyped.....he was bouncing around, rapping future word for word....the crowd was ready to go 30 minutes before tip.

And then the team just came out throwing haymakers, playing with attitude and purpose....every small bit player contributed.....Mo hitting floaters, Jones with the and-1, TT terrorizing them.... and Kyrie / LeBron just putting together a masterpiece. It was the first time I watched a Cleveland team truly play to their potential in a must win game......and it was just so electric. Game 7 was awesome but game 6 seemed like the turning point for me as a fan....where I became a lot more positive in moments where something could go bad.

From Game 3 on to the parade in 2016 was so amazing. I will also never forget being able to be part of the parade itself. It was amazing up on the truck looking down on all of the fans lining the streets of Cleveland. It was truly amazing and something I will never forget in my lifetime. I've waited like so many of us for a championship wondering if I would ever witness one in my lifetime. Never will I forget it and it's still makes me teary eyed thinking about it. Go Cavs!!!
 
Obviously the championship is up there... But man what a feeling it was to be up 2-1 on the Warriors after game 3 in 2015 and to know all you had to do was win the home games left and they’re the champs... That was the first time I ever realistically thought the Cavs could win a title...Wish they did...

Also this past playoff run was just a thing of beauty from a single player...
 
Obviously game 7 is number one. The block, Kyrie’s three pointer...one of the greatest teams of all time beaten at home in one of the greatest games of all time. Just amazing.

LeBron’s first home game back during the starting intros..got goosebumps.

His run this postseason like PIP said was just iconic. The game 1 performance in the finals is possibly the best finals game he ever had, and one of the best finals games ever played by a single player. Just tragic that it will get forgotten.

Delly outplaying the MVP in the beginning part of the 2015 finals.

And overall just knowing that he was damn good that it forced Durant into making the softest move in league history.

He had a bad owner, bad coaches, and mostly poor front office management while he was here. Would have loved to have gotten 20 years instead of 11, but I still very grateful he gave us the 11.

So much has happened over the last month I honestly forgot about a lot of it. He hit 2 freaking game winners and I forgot about that. He single handedly carried the team to the Finals when we should have been out in the 1st round. I think it was his greatest personal playoff run. He as just hitting ridiculous shots every single game.

And game 1 of the Finals was an all-time legendary performance that got ruined. I'm still not over that. If we win that game and LeBron doesn't punch a whiteboard, I honestly think we could have won the series.
 
Seeing the supposed Greatest Show on hardWood brick over and over in the last few minutes was surreal, as was Harrison Barnes bricking over and over all series.

Game 6 was also amazing, especially us making them look like they forgot there was a game at the start like with Game 3, and Ayesh whining at the end. I could tell that we had mentally broken GS in a way that OKC couldn't.

Pre-Tristdashian TT was great in that series and has been credited as such, even if he's been mostly rightly been criticized as the "lesser Thompson of the draft" and worse since, but other than him and JR's threes, the supporting cast's role hasn't been acknowledged enough.

Man this thread made me sad and then angry

Fuck you Kevin Durant. Fuck you not only for fucking the Cavs over, but fuck you for ripping NBA fans off of what was primed to be one of the best rivalries in NBA history. The rubber match after that finish coming back from 3-1 could have been EPIC. But instead some cunt had to ruin it

People will look back at how much one man ruined everything and I hope Durant never truly finds any satisfaction with himself. You can tell it bothers him every day with his actions, and it fucking should. You ruined everything you dumb cunt
 
2015 = what could have been
2016 = awesome
2017 = ugh
2018 = over it

Overall = meh

*these will likely improve with time
