How the 2016 NBA Finals made history - a podcast by Over and Back NBA Podcast

We discuss where Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals ranks among all-time Game 7s, putting the performances of LeBron James and Steph Curry in historical context, comparing LeBron to the best Finals MVPs, comparing LeBron’s Game 5 and 6 to the all-time best Finals performances, where Draymond Green’s terrific Game 7 rates among the best, what losing means for the legacy of the 73-win Golden State Warriors, how the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 3-1 comeback rates among all-time Finals upsets, looking at the greatest teams to never win a title, the meaning of Cleveland breaking its 52-year sports “curse,” and how “The Block” rates among both the best clutch plays and the most spectacular plays in NBA Finals history.
