Perhaps the crowning moment of LeBron's career was winning the 2016 NBA Title coming back from a 3-1 deficit and he capped it off with one of the greatest clutch defensive plays.
Game 7 was tied at 89 apiece with under 2 minutes remaining when the Warriors got on the fast-break after a Cavs miss. They looked set on taking the lead but James had his trademark chase-down block and denied Iguodala a certain layup at the basket.
It was the highlight of an excellent defensive performance down the stretch by the Cavs as the Warriors failed to score a point in the final 4:39 of the game. If that layup had gone in, it might have sparked a Warriors revival but James ensured it wouldn't. And we all know what happened next. Kyrie Irving drilled a 3 with 53 seconds remaining and James hit a late Free Throw to seal a highly improbable 93-89 victory.
