“Giving Me Chills”: LeBron James Unable to Sleep While Recalling Cavaliers Historic 2016 Championship Run

In the 17 years that LeBron James has played in the NBA, he has won 4 NBA titles. However, it is quite evident that the 2016 NBA Championship with the Cleveland Cavaliers was by far his greatest achievement.

James and the Cavs faced the 73-9 Warriors and were down 1-3 against them in the NBA Finals. While most wrote them off, James and Kyrie Irving had other ideas. The duo went berserk and became the first-ever team to erase a 3-1 deficit in the NBA Finals.

Fast forward to 2020, James just won the fourth ring of his illustrious career, this time with the Lakers. Most players tend to relax in the offseason, but James uses this time to study the game of basketball. Previously, he was seen watching “The Last Dance” as homework, and now LBJ is watching his historic 2016 championship run.

James shared a bunch of stories on his official Instagram account and left a suiting caption for it.

“Couldn’t sleep per usual. But this classic happens to be on though. Giving me chills like I don’t know what happened. 52 year drought man! WOW.”

This run by the Cavaliers will be remembered forever by every NBA fan. Moreover, James is yet to slow down even at 35, so he has a chance to win a couple more rings before hanging his sneakers.

Will LeBron James win more rings in his career?

With the 2019-20 NBA season over, preparations for the next season will begin shortly. The 2020 NBA champions Lakers are still the heavy favorites to defend their style next season.

But they would need to be at their 100% to accomplish this task. In fact, they need to add more pieces to their roster to improve their 3-pt shooting. This aspect of their game was still a glaring issue for the Lakers in both the regular season and the playoffs.

Moreover, with the rumors suggesting Rajon Rondo will most likely test free agency, the purple and gold would need a backup point guard. If the Lakers successfully accumulate these changes on their roster, it would be very difficult to dethrone them as the champions of the basketball world.
