LeBron James gallantly tried to beat the star-studded Golden State Warriors in 2018 for the second time in four straight years. Cleveland Cavaliers only managed to win one game in the 2017 final and wanted to do better.
The four-time MVP did everything he could and scored a game-high 51 points, but the Cavaliers lost in overtime. The game was better known for the JR Smith slip-up.
Smith didn’t realize the game was a tie and dribbled out the clock despite having a chance to win. James was furious after the game and stormed off knowing they missed a series-changing opportunity.
Andre Iguodala, in an episode of “The point forward‘, shared his thoughts on what he saw in that fateful game:
“Is [LeBron James] hurt his hand hitting a wall, how much, we don’t know, but he’s like, ‘Man, it’s over! Not that he’d admit it, but it’s the truth! People don’t understand that. They’re like, ‘Oh, never mind, it’s a game.’
“No! They are really important, so everything is important in their final.”
