The 20 Best Finals Performances of All Time

16. LeBron James – 2015 NBA Finals

In LeBron James’ first season back with the Cleveland Cavaliers, he led them to the NBA Finals where they took on an up-and-coming Golden State Warriors. The Cavaliers entered the series without All-Star Kevin Love who was out with a shoulder injury and then Kyrie Irving got hurt at the end of Game 1.

Although Matthew Delladova did have his moments, it was James that kept the Cavaliers in the series and pushed it to six games.

James led all players in points in five of the six games, as well as overall in the series. James averaged 35.8 points, 8.8 assists and 13.3 rebounds per game in the series, leading many people to advocate for his candidacy for being named the NBA Finals MVP despite losing.
