LeBron James is single-handedly leading the Cavaliers to potentially their first NBA Championship, but will he have yet another dominant performace?

Coming off back-to-back 41 point, almost triple-double games, LeBron is looking right at his 3rd NBA title. He has had the best Finals performance by a single player since Michael Jordan, and it doesn’t look like he is going to stop until the Larry O’Brian trophy is in Cleveland.

Although LeBron has led his team to this point, he still is not considered as the clear Finals MVP if the Cavs were to win. His teammate, Kyrie Irving, is also having a great Finals series. He has scored 26, 10, 30, 34, 41, and 22 in this series. He has stepped up for the Cavaliers tremendously.

Cleveland has nothing to lose.

This is the biggest thing to watch for in what will likely be a great game 7. The Cavaliers were supposed to lose this series in the first place, and almost everyone doubted them especially when they were down 3-1 and playing in Golden State. They have the momentum from winning two games in a row, even though they are on the road. LeBron has looked like a legendary player yet again and is leading this team to try and win a Championship.

LeBron is almost destined for another HUGE game and it wouldn’t come as a surprise to see him getting double-teamed throughout the game. Cleveland should be prepared for this to happen, come game time, and other players should be ready to step up to the challenge. A match-up between a 2x MVP and a 4x MVP should be quite exciting and it could end up being an all-time great game if the two go off in the game.
