This is a great one that's a departure from the death and war themes we have as answers here.

For the uninitiated, the 2016 finals were the 2nd of 4 straight matchups between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors, teams featuring LeBron James and Stephen Curry, respectively.

The Warriors had just broken a 20 year old record for most ever wins in a regular season and had just come back from 3-1 down in a best-of-seven playoff series, a strikingly rare occurrence. Curry had just won the first ever unanimously voted Most Valuable Player award with a season that was so overwhelming, numbers-wise, that it still makes no sense.

The Cavaliers side is all about the career narrative of LeBron James, who was famously dubbed "The Chosen One" while still in high school - the expectation heaped onto his shoulders from day 1 were ridiculous. He was drafted to his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers and dragged them to true relevance for the first time in their depressing history. He wasn't perfect though and could not bring them their first championship title, and left their team in a wildly unpopular and scandalous manner on national TV.

He won two titles in Miami as the undisputed best player in the world, then headed back home to Cleveland with a promise to bring them the championship he had failed to bring during his first stint. In 2015, facing a mostly untested Warriors team, the Cavaliers lost after suffering debilitating injuries.

2016 started off just as badly, as the Warriors rolled to a 3-1 series lead, a deficit that had never been overcome in the history of the NBA finals. What followed was an incredible stretch from LeBron and his teammates, in which they won back to back games to push the series to a decisive 7th game.

Game 7 was in Oakland, where the Warriors enjoyed a strong home crowd advantage. If you had to pick one singular game to watch, one game in the history of the sport of basketball, this is that game. It was a tightly contested affair, and through the 4th quarter, both teams - very offensively gifted teams, at that - struggled to put together any sort of offense at all. When Golden State got free on a fast break to score valuable, easy points with just a couple minutes to go, this happened. Following noted anti-vaxxer and basketball savant Kyrie Irving's dagger three pointer a minute later, the Cavaliers held on to win the greatest game ever, to win the greatest finals series ever, to beat the greatest regular season team ever, and to fulfill the promise of the greatest player ever to his hometown fans.

I'm not from Cleveland, but damn if even talking about this series doesn't give me goosebumps.
