Tonight on ESPN @7 they are playing the 2016 NBA finals...

[Thedictator]

Game 5 followed immediately by game 7. The epic beatdown the Cavs gave to the Golden State Warriors to win the most iconic NBA championship of all time

Instant classic...Tune in!

It is the most fairy tale-ish NBA Finals that ever was and ever will be. Im ok going to my grave with this one Championship if that's what plays out. It was one for ages.

From the seemingly insurmountable position being down 3 games to 1 and facing the BEST team ever taking 2 out 3 games on their floor was nothing short of miraculous.

BLOCKED BY JAMES

Nah. I've watched it probably 10 times but trash organization blew our prime. One ring in 11 years with that terrible franchise despite playing at a goat level individualy.

nice... can't wait to see kyries step back title winning bail out legacy saving shot again to help dig lebron out of another epic all time failure after he bricks his last 4 field goal attempts



and all it took was a phone call to adam silver to get the warriors top performer in the series suspended for a pivotal game 5




btw lebron/Kyrie/Love > steph/klay/green... the 73 wins were inflated trash and bogut/iguodala/curry all had injuries. and did i mention kyrie won them their first 3 games by doubling lebrons scoring in key moments before the games ended in blow outs

How do you guys watch sporting events when you know the outcome?

[elartman1973]

Who cares?
Why would anybody bother watching? Was lame then as it would be now...rigged

[elartman1973]

How do you guys watch sporting events when you know the outcome?

I don't get that either..you have to be really hard up

[Havlicekstealsit]

How do you guys watch sporting events when you know the outcome?

Always thought this was strange. I can understand if you need to do it for a living, like study game film or whatever.

Listen methy, he wasn't catching Jordan either way because of his finals record with the L's

This one championship went down in history for him, beating a 73 win team and on game 7 after being down 3-1, and out of all his championships ESPN could show they are showing this one.

[LNS]

I rewatch boxing matches from time to time.

[Bartman]

They cut out Kyrie's game winning shot..fucking idiots.

[kennethgriffin24]

To be fair, if I had this mentality... I'd have watched A LOT fewer Timberwolves games over the years than I have.

[PhutureDynasty]

I've rewatched the most recent Eagles Pats SB at least 3 times in full since it happened and each time I still get that same anxiety and bad gut feeling I had when Brady turned it on in the 2nd half. Even though I KNOW we win, it's about experiencing the emotions you had over again, despite knowing the outcome. Also, watching the big moments like the Philly Special, or the strip sack to sort of seal the victory, or in the case of the 2016 Finals the LeBron block or the Kyrie shot. It's all about nostalgia.
