Key point about the last number: That 31.3 million is the combined audience of more than a dozen networks.

Long-suffering Cleveland fans, who have not cheered a major sports champion since 1964, are on the brink of seeing the drought end, thanks to the LeBron James-led NBA Cavaliers. All while facing the pressure of being on the brink of elimination twice (just the third team to overcome a 3-1 deficit in the NBA Finals) and overcoming the absence of Kevin Love (wait, he’s been playing?).
Every game has been decided by double digits in this series that is heading back to Oakland, California, for the ultimate showdown.
“It’s an opportunity for us to do something special”, James said matter-of-factly.
The NBA’s back-to-back MVP was completely focused on his smart phone as he headed to the front of the room for a press conference. “I mean, you take it”. But if they win, the Warriors will go down in the record books as the best team ever after finishing the regular season with a league record 73 wins. “But other than that, that doesn’t take any spotlight off of what my job is on the floor and what these next 48 minutes are going to be like in Game 7. No two ways around that”. James will nearly certainly score a minimum of 25 points, but another 41-point effort might be a stretch, even for one of the all-time greats.
The gaudy purchase price surpassed the previous record of $37,000 for a courtside seat to Game 4 of the 2008 NBA Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics. If you had to pick one current team in any sport to win a single game under any circumstances, you’d be overthinking if you didn’t take Golden State. “He’s doing things that are game-changing and helping his team win”. “Obviously, we lost Game 5 and 6, not so much because we missed open shots, but also because of our defensive breakdowns”. After being called for his sixth foul going for a steal against James in the backcourt, Curry violently punched at the air in protest in close proximity to James.

“I still go back on some of the losses I’ve had in my career, not only in just the finals, but even in the post-season, period”, James said. But at the end of the day, my whole mindset is how I can put myself in position to help these guys be successful and I could be successful, as well. The foam roller is one of his weapons to combat the soreness that has accumulated from 13 years in the National Basketball Association, and he held it close like it was a trusted ally. I think you should know me by now. But nah, I’m happy to see you, man. Much love and respect. Draymond Green got himself suspended for Game 5 by hitting James in the groin and Stephen Curry struggled with foul trouble throughout Game 6.
