37 of 38 teams in the history of the NBA down 3-1 in the Finals have gone on to lose the series.
The 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers remain the only team to come back down 3-1 and win an NBA Championship.
And they did it against the 73-9 Golden State Warriors.
Still surreal.
10 years ago today, LeBron James wore this Undertaker shirt, and gave us a classic meme as he and the Cavs trailed 3-1 to the Warriors in the NBA Finals 😎
The rest is history 🏆
Tristan Thompson & Richard Jefferson claim that Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, & Draymond Green would trade both of their 2017 & 2018 championships with Kevin Durant to win the 2016 finals when the Warriors had a record breaking 73-9 record 😳🔥
Tristan also says the 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers championship is the GREATEST in sports history and that Cavs team can beat any NBA team in history 💍👀
Dear Myles Garrett,
Thank you for breaking TJ Watt's single season sack record.
Thank you for setting the Cleveland Browns all time sack record.
Thank you for consistent, nonstop, jaw dropping GREATNESS.
You'll always be a Cleveland legend. 🥺

RT to wish Kenny Lofton a happy 59th birthday!
Cavs were milking the clock on offense with 6 (!!) minutes left.. and then watched James Harden switch onto Jalen Brunson 6 times in a row..
No traps, no fighting through screens, no timeouts.
The worst coached basketball game I have ever seen in my life.
Four straight wins and 7 of their last 8 for the @CLEGuardians! 🔥
ALT Final score: Cleveland Guardians 4, Detroit Tigers 3
Team records: Guardians 28-22, Tigers 20-29

HOT TAKE: The 2016 Cavs ring is the most respected championship in NBA history and it’s not even close.
Down 3-1 to the 73-9 Warriors.
On the road. Ended 52 years of Cleveland pain.
This one built different.
“We know the division runs through Cleveland,” Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said. “As much as we want to say otherwise, they’ve done it. And so we have to take that personally and overcome them in order to get where we want to get to. That’s the brutal truth.”
