The 2016 NBA season was epic for many reasons. It was the farewell tour for Kobe Bryant, a legend of the game. Moreover, it was also home to some of the most ravishing playoff basketball in the league’s history. One that is well-known and often talked about has to be the Cleveland Cavaliers’ stellar 3-1 comeback in the NBA finals. It was the promise-fulfilling moment for LeBron James who had longed to win a championship for his home city. Even with the odds against them, the Cavs beat the Golden State Warriors, the same franchise that broke the regular season record that year.

During a recent interview, Stephen Curry, the ace of those Warriors spoke about the dreaded 2016 series. Highlighting the integral plays, he surprisingly excluded King James’ iconic block.

Stephen Curry doesn’t mention LeBron James’ block as a big play

The historic 2016 NBA finals made waves for its storyline. One on end, there were the invincible Warriors led by Stephen Curry. The 73-9 team took the 3-1 lead. Their dreams of a back-to-back championship run were only one win away. The passionate Cleveland fans began losing their hopes. History didn’t favor James and Co. Yet, they didn’t lose hope.

The Cavaliers marched in Game 5 and sent a statement. Both LeBron James and Kyrie Irving made history becoming the first pair of teammates to score 40 points each in an NBA finals. The series was once again alive, and the aspirations were burning once again. In Game 6, the Warriors hoped to finish the job, and this time they had Draymond Green back. However, the Akron Hammer persevered, wading to yet another 40-point game.

That’s when it all came down to a conclusive Game 7. A packed Oracle Arena flooding in yellow anticipated the Bay closing the series emphatically. Following the trend, it had to come down to the crucial plays that turn the tide. Conveniently, they came during the dying moments of the game.

The most popular is of course Kyrie Irving’s dagger over Stephen Curry, which gave the Cavaliers the upper hand. And even the two-time MVP agreed while speaking to Nick Camino of 3News. He mentioned how it was the Cavaliers playing consistently great basketball that enabled them to complete the greatest Finals comeback. Yet, while reminiscing on the pivotal moments, he didn’t mention LeBron James blocking Andre Iguodala.

“Went out Game 7, Kyrie hit that big shot. K-Love getting the stop and all that. So it’s just a perfect storm of them playing great basketball, and that’s not coming down to the last minute of a Game 7. There’s only one regret. That one possession with K-Love. That’s one that I will forever remember and hold on to,” said Curry about his only regret in the series.

The series had many twists and turns. Yet in Game 7, when it mattered most, all the Cavaliers’ stars stepped up. The sequence began with LeBron James’ leap of faith to block Iguodala in the closing minutes. Following the sensational defensive effort, KAI hit the crowd-silencing shot that would eventually be the dagger. Finally, there was Kevin Love, who locked up Curry after Irving’s dazzling three-pointer.

Maybe it is because Curry had the responsibility to tie the game that Love’s stop stings the most. Regardless, it was a moment history will never forget. The underdogs became champions, and LeBron James fulfilled the long destiny he had with Cleveland.
