Did anyone ever really doubt it?
Just when he looks down and out, just when he looks too tired to carry on, just when he’d met a team that was full of young talent and incredible depth and balance – LeBron finds a way. The King proved why he is one of the game’s all-time legends yet again when he carried his team to a huge 87-79 victory over the Boston Celtics in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Final.
LeBron unsurprisingly led the way for the Cavs, recording game-highs in points (35), rebounds (15), assists (9), and blocks (2). The incredible feat has become expected from the superstar, but Twitter still delivered praise to Ohio’s most treasured son.

I gotta admit, I thought there was absolutely no way even LeBron could get that team to the finals. Incredible! That’s a ridiculous accomplishment

LeBron James has scored 30 or more points in six Game 7s, the most such games in NBA postseason history. He had been tied with Elgin Baylor with five.
