Doris Burke recalls intriguing moments from her legendary career: "Tyronn Lue in Game 7 is just pleading for more from LeBron James"

The NBA reporter Doris Burke reflected on one of the most fascinating experiences from her career. Fans of LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers are still talking about the NBA Finals from last year as an unforgettable event that featured awe-inspiring performances by James and Tyronn Lue.

With little argument to be made against it being among the top-rated seasons in league history and possibly even better than any from recent years, the Cleveland Cavaliers managed to turn around their game and defeat the Golden State Warriors, who had previously won against them.

Coach Tyronn Lue teamed up with superstar LeBron James for a stunning turnaround as the Cavs came back from a three-game deficit. Doris Burke, known for her unparalleled insights, recently revealed a captivating moment from the final huddle of Game 7, when Lue implored James for even more.

"I remember being in the last huddle, and Tyronn Lue in Game 7 is just pleading for more from LeBron James, and I wanted to go, ‘How much do you expect LeBron James to give you, dude? He’s giving you everything,'” Burke recalled. “He’s like, ‘Come on, LeBron. Come on, LeBron.’ And I don’t remember what specifically he was asking for, but, man, that was just so great."

James left an indelible mark throughout that Finals run, averaging 29.7 points, 11.3 rebounds, and 8.9 assists. It was a historic performance that delivered Cleveland its long-awaited championship, fulfilling a promise James had made after leaving the franchise in 2010 for the Miami Heat.

Furthermore, it had a profound impact on the Golden State Warriors, prompting them to recruit former MVP Kevin Durant and significantly reducing the chances of the Cavaliers springing another upset upon them.
