2016 Kyrie and Bron was my peak high school memory 🥹🥹🥹🥹
Same
Facs bro ithought im yhe only one
Middle school for me 😓
facts bro same same same 🥺😭10th grade 😭
same
To all the ppl who says kyrie only hit one shot…he averaged 27 ppg that finals
while basically shooting 50%, which is tough by any metric, let alone while taking the kinds of shots he did
which idiot thinks he only hit the shot. Kyrie was incredible
@@laneyj well he shot 47% rounded up, thats not "basically 50%"
And while being guarded by nothing but 6’6+ guys the whole series, except for the times curry ended up on him. Bron my favorite player but I hate when people make it seem like Kyrie didn’t carry his weight and then some.
Nobody says that. Stop arguing with folks who don't watch basketball. It just introduces pointless counterarguments to a place where we all came to watch Kyrie because we think the opposite.
Kyrie wasn't the Robin of LeBron's Batman in 2016,he was the NightWing, making his own story, etching his name in history as he hit that sidestep 3 on curry to give the Cavs the lead
The refs and league were Batman. Lebron was Wonder woman and Kyrie was Batgirl 😂
Most help in NBA history from a teammate. Last 2 mins of 1 possession games during the 2016 playoffs Bron - 5 points 2/9 fg 22% Kyrie - 8 points 3-6 fg 50% and one of the biggest dagger treys in finals history. Also Kyrie is 8th ALL TIME in Finals PPG. (27.69) For reference; Scottie Pippen is 45th all time (18ppg) Pau Gasol is 54th all time (17ppg)
If he woud be finals mvp woud be.a.diff story i love.this duo no 1 duo rather than ad and wade
@@jacquesl9972 and you are harley quinn getting that D from the joker
@@jacquesl9972 lil bro still crying in the comments 3-1 😢😢
I remember the game 5 against the warriors. Kyrie WOULD NOT MISS. What do you as a defender if the guy you're guarding doesn't miss? Incredible performance, on the road
What happened the following year when Lebron and Kyrie choked in game 3? 🤡
I've posted this twice but it keeps getting delete by Dawk. The propaganda is real. Bron has had the most help in NBA history from a teammate. Last 2 mins of 1 possession games during the 2016 playoffs Bron - 5 points 2/9 fg 22% Kyrie - 8 points 3-6 fg 50% and one of the biggest dagger treys in finals history.

@@pablosnackbar6417 do you realize who was Bron's team playing against, right? Steph, Klay, Draymond, Iggy, Kerr as a coach, KD. This aint no Malone, Stockton giving him the ball + some random bad n***as, aint no modafkin supersonics, aint no trash*** trailblazers. We live in an era where everyone could score, 1v1, against everyone, from the dribble, shooting 3s, going inside, etc. Basketball is not 1 offensive guy and 4 who pass him the ball anymore, you still need to realize but I think you will in 10/15 years when you will se what players are gonna do in some time
@@MilanCentre 2016 KD wasn't even there. At least get the most basic details right before you comment, casual. Also, the way you type I can tell you're 11 years old. Go study the game. Watch some tape.
@@pablosnackbar6417 I would be honored to be 11 years old, I would enjoy today's NBA even more, not knowing the s**t it was 20 years ago. Unfortunately, in 16 days I will be 38, so I've witnessed all the evolution this game had in the last decades. If you take KD and you put him in the 80s or the 90s, they will probably think he is an alien, games won't even be played, opponent teams would quit. And KD is not even the best player this league has seen in last years. So stop comparing apple with oranges, Jordan dominated in his era with no 3pt shooting, no 1v1 offense, no athletic guards (beside Jordan), no bigs who could dribble or shoot, no defense at all (only fouls and punches), and I could go on and on
And some people act like bron carried when kyrie was a straight goat that year. Get that man some respect.
This is why he's Bron's favorite teammate lmao

Name a SINGLE player that had a finals like that with THE GOAT. Pip???? Not even close. This is 1 of the best finals performances EVER.
Jordan’s the goat

@@Darkmatterdust Wade never played with THE GOAT.
@jamesprez7296 you're right, but he did win a chip against the mavs doing a bit more with the blocks, steals, and motor. But you're spot on here 💪
Kyrie is the real 2016 finals mvp. Kyrie saved Cleveland that ring 💯💯💯💯
*MY GOAT* 🐐
Kyrie + Bron = best duo ever my boy !
To give fans perspective on how crazy this run by Kyrie was(averaging 25ppg in these 2016 Playoffs). Jordan won his finals with none of his teammates averaging more than 18ppg. Kyrie at the age of 24 went on to average 27ppg against one of the best teams of all time with 2 players being All NBA Defenders(Klay and Draymond). That's why I don't take Bron fans seriously when they say he carried Kyrie. Biggest lie ever told. That championship run was a full team effort.
so pipen didn't help jordan?? it was all a jordan effort?? you acting like jordan didn't need help on that bulls team and the only reason why his teammates didn't average more then 18 ppg was because mj was mainly hogging the ball not passing it no one mean while lbj was actually passing the ball make assist for kyrie and the same can be said about kyrie it was and yes lebron did carry kyrie cause u saw in 2018 he only lasted to the 2nd round and lebron just went back to the finals that clearly indicated that lebron carried kyrie cause u see how easy lebron made it to the finals comparing to kyrie???
@xtucs Pippen played defense but guess what? So did Jordan who was also the better defender. Learn about things before you speak on them. I addressed the scoring comparison because we know LeBron doesn't play Defense like MJ did so him having teammates who can score is going to be a better asset to LeBron in comparison to MJ. Give MJ a guy who can score 25 in his sleep and he would've been 10-0 in the Finals. You don't want this conversation on how much "Help" LeBron had in comparison to MJ. Trust me you don't.
@@beastscale1892 Watched both in their prime. Pippen's overall defensive value was better than MJ because he was more consistent and could take on the bigger assignments. If I wanted a stop, I'll take Jordan, but he wasn't going full throttle even in the finals due to his offensive load. Lebron was the best defender on his team in the 2016 finals, but that's not saying much other than Lebron can't construct teams properly.
@jacquesl9972 Nope Rodman and Kurkoc was muscle. Pippen was usually length for help defense never man to man like Rodman and MJ excelled at. Also again no. LeBron wasn't the best defender on that Cavs team. That right goes to Tristan Thompson and KLove on how many possessions they won vs Curry, Livingston, and (Brazilian blur)Barbosa in picknroll coverage along with Shumpert. LeBron was mostly a help defender who lived on chasedown blocks which is just help defense.
@@beastscale1892 Rodman and Kukoc weren't there for the 1st 3, and it was still Scottie anchoring the defense. Pippen played man, what are you talking about? He picked up the best player multiple times. Pippen was the better and overall more consistent defender when they won every ring. Kevin Love was not better on defense that year. He got played off the court at various points due to his flat feet. GSW was one of the worst matchups defensively for KLove and it showed every single year. I'll give Tristan Thompson and maybe JR Smith, but not Love. Lebron's defensive efforts from games 5-7 are better than anyone on his team. He was preemptively switching, calling out plays, directing traffic, elite rim protection, helpside D, on-ball D, and his steals/blocks were momentum shifting. He was clearly the best player when they came back. He just didn't replicate it the following year.
Bro’s mid range jumper game was CRAZY especially in that finals series! 🔥💪
some of the greatest months in NBA history
This is honestly the best NBA channel on this platform😮💨
"BYE BYE" lmao young kyrie didn't give af
He destroyed curry and klay and draymond…kyrie is the goat 🐐
11:22 that bank shot is insane
Uncle drew 🔥🔥
THE BEST LEFT HANDED LAYUP IVE EVER SEEN KYRIE 4TH QUARTER GAME 7
I wish Bron,Kyrie & K Love would still playing together
Que locura lo de Irving ese año
24:48 🔥🔥🔥
Favorite duo
Bro did the same step back on the pistons. Crazy
Cavs Kyrie will always be my favorite version of Kyrie
Kyrie is the real 2016 finals mvp. Kyrie saved Cleveland that ring 💯💯💯💯
Just pure buckets 🪣
am i the only one who thinks kyrie is the only player who really doesn't rely on free throws when scoring.
curry
This Cavs team. Perfect basketball. Everybody moving, everybody passing, everyone knows where to be. Two shot makers in case the clock gets low. Shooters on the wings. Diving Thompson. Pick and Pop Love doing the stretch 4 thing way back before every team did it.
I love 2016 Kyrie ❤
Enjoy to watch, appreciate for ur all hard work videos bro 🤌🤘👏
my goat
The biggest what if in nba history. Should have never left bron in Cleveland
A Kyrie-diculous season
Kyrie saved Cleveland that 2016 ring 💯
watching Russ, Steph, Kyrie, Bron hooping 2016 playoff in elementary school was special nothing hit like this even rn
Game 3 in the ATL series might be my favorite Kyrie game fr.
Incredible
Bro was cooking Klay 😂🤣
Absolutely abused Steph all series. He’s a better pure hooper than most in history. The most skilled scorer, easy. And I got time.
Robbed from 75 list 😢
man kyrie the rock extremely well in the playoffs that year, midrange and the 3
Goodtimes man a nigga could cry ong idc 2k16 days life was so good back then 🔥
RIP Craig Man Never forgotten 😢🤵🏻

@@heem_dafool4284 lebron can't win a ring in Cleveland without kyrie buddy
Those 2016 and 2017 Cavs teams were stacked with talent. They actually matched up well with the Warriors talent wise but they didn’t have the mental strength due to LeBron being shook
Actually they didn't because their defense was not good, so they didn't actually match up well
@@jacquesl9972 talent wise they did. Multiple all stars and 1 round picks on those team
the teams were somewhat balanced in 2016. Add KD and it becomes very unbalanced.
@@TH-cq7bj "Talent wise" you mean offensively? Because defensively a lot of them weren't good. Do you just look at PPG and think they're the same. You probably thought Kevin Love was on the same level of impact as Draymond Green or Andre Iguodala, right? 😂
@@jacquesl9972 Thompson, shumpert, LeBron, smith all capable defenders. Even Kyrie. But LeBron didn’t set the tone
MY FAV PLAYER IN NBA ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That kyrie n jr smith combo was op a 2 or 3 which one you want
Kyrie is the best teammate Lebron ever had. They could have won multiple chips. You can debate if D Wade was the better individual player but Kyries game definitely complemented Lebrons better.
Kyrie saved Cleveland that ring 💯💯💯. The top 3 best lebron teammates in order is 1. Wade 2. Anthony Davis 3. Kyrie
cavs should have won more championships but kd joined the team that beat him and the not even the greatest individual stretch of basketball in league history could beat that

Bronsexuals hate facts and context
Now do the entire 4th quarter and defense. Oh yea I wonder why shaq wasn't included. Lebron scored 11 of the cavs 18 points in the 4th. Down 4 he got fouled. He hit 3 clutch fts. Which made the score 86-87. He then hit a stepback 3 in iggy's face making the score 89-87. Klay tied it at 89, Irving airballed and the warriors went on the fastbreak and lebron got the block. Then kyrie hit the shot. Then lebron hit the last fts. This isn't including back to back 41 points games, leading both teams and all players in everything. Or my personal favorite game 6, lebron from 5:38 of the third to 2:59 of the fourth lebron scored or assisted on 35 of 36 cavs points. Including 18 straight. How's that for clutch? Oh also he had 11 4th quarter points. More than kyrie in game 7. Stop watching skap attack it rots your brain.
Skap Attack lmfao. I watch Fox News and they say shut up and dribble.
I am so confused omg is LeBron not allowed to have teammates or is it illegal for his teammates to score? Or do you think that Kyrie played just for LeBron? Kyrie needed to make history for himself so stop saying that he's HELPING others wtf
@@jacquesl9972 why don't you google the numbers yourself? I was just crediting where I saw it.
the moment the last game ended I wanted to puke over how every player ran towards lebron and kyrie was left as if no one knows him
Kyrie was almost as good as this upload. Thanks!!
Uncle drew make stehpanie curry dances in the whole.series
Dam why he had to leave Cleveland they could of got at least 1-2 more rings together
No they couldn't have. They weren't going to beat the Warriors in 2018 or 2019
@@jacquesl9972They needed to add a Brad beal type SG in 2017 to match up with those KD Warriors.
@OfficialEj1 it was even in 2017 finals fasho it just lebron got destroyed by kd
Naw Cleveland wasn't go win another ring even though kyrie saved Cleveland that 2016 ring
He top75 from this performance alone
is kyrie pound for pound the most skilled scorer of all time? obv he is not the greatest due to his size, health, etc. but purely skill wise i feel like he is top 3 all time and im leaning towards no.1
i don't believe this form of kyrie got 0 vote on final mvp. Tha's bullshxt
Kyrie is the real 2016 finals mvp fasho 💯💯💯💯. 2015 finals proved Cleveland ain't beating warriors without kyrie. Kyrie saved Cleveland that 2016 ring
and Lebron James said he felt like that 2016 championship made him "the greatest of all time"... when it was Kyrie's impact and contribution during the 2016 playoff run that got them that championship.. Kyrie loves to win, Lebron loves taking credit and accolades.. that's why their partnership didn't last..
man kyrie shot the rock extremely well that year
Love Kyrie.
He carried LeBron, period. When the games were close or when either team was leading by 5 max, Kyrie was the Cavs' number 1 option. LeBron only became the number 1 option when the Cavs were already leading by at least 10 and he padded his numbers from there.
kyrie did not carry lebron cause u saw how he took the game winning shot well without lebrons chase down block that wouldn't of happened 🤣🤣🤣🤣
💀💀💀

Dang Kyrie attempted 11 threes & only made 4, he’s my favorite player but dang why so many threes in that last pistons game 😂 He played great but I’m sure he probably was thinking to himself to dial it down on the 3s lol
Imo, I believe he was Lebrons best teammate. There was no stopping him that year
1:35 😂 wtf
Kyrie klay and Dwight not making too 75 over same will always be a travesty
Kyrie did Detroit filthy during this run lol just dagger shot after blow out after dagger shot smh
Kyrie saved Cleveland that 2016 ring 💯💯💯 and ima Detroit pistons fan
Mannn. They could have gave Kai co mvp for the finals. Most of his baskets were clutch every round. If he gets more fouls calls he would have averaged over 30 easy that series. He bailed out Lebron damn near every close game. He was the closer.
0:50 🎒
Ayo... What in the entire fuck were the Atlanta Hawks even doing there in the second round??! 😂🤣 Did anyone peep that sorry ass line up?!! Lmao they didn't stand s chance
I miss the days when people would type 3-1 in the comments section to troll Warriors fans 😂
Its probably because it’s been 8 years lol
no warriors championship can wash away the pain of falling 1 minute short of the most perfect season in league history. all they need was 1 game to go their way. if im not mistaken the warriors only lost 1 home game all season so losing 3 in a row when 2 of those games were at home is the icing on the cake.
@@tridra5714 lol uh yes, winning 3 more after that does wash a way a 3-1 blown lead, especially when you have a 3-1 record against the guy who beat you that year in the finals. THATS the icing on the cake😭🤣
