NBA Finals: Ranking LeBron James' 5 best games against the Golden State Warriors

#3 Game 6: 2016 Finals vs Warriors

LeBron James

Stat line: 41 points, 11 assists, 8 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 blocks

The 2016 Finals deserve to headline LeBron's NBA Finals legacy without question. No team in the history of the game had come back from 3-1 down to win a championship before LeBron and Kyrie Irving led the Cleveland Cavaliers to do so.

About this game, the Cavs were staring at elimination on home-court and were desperate for some kind of spark. That spark came from none other than the best player on the team, LeBron. He scored 41 points back to back in games 5 and 6.

In game 6, The King recorded 41 points, 8 rebounds, 11 assists, 4 steals, 3 blocks with just 1 turnover. He helped them establish a dominant 20-point lead in the first quarter and the Cavaliers just never looked back winning game 6 convincingly and forcing a game 7 back in Oakland. We all know what happened next.

LeBron's performance in game 6 will probably be overlooked a few years down the road but it is still another game that added to his legacy of rising to the moment when his back was against the wall.
