A late three pointer from Kyrie Irving and a freethrow from LeBron James in game seven of the 2016 NBA Finals secured the Cleveland Cavaliers their first ever NBA championship.
LeBron finished with yet another finals triple double, notching 27 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds. Irving finished with 26 points and 6 rebounds.
The Cavs have now become the first NBA team to win an NBA championship after going down 3-1. They also earned Cleveland their first professional championship in 52 years.
Predictably, Twitter has exploded with memes making fun of Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors. Most people celebrated the Cavs:

Cavs just invalidated or at least brought argument to Warrior's title from last year. No injuries and Cavs could be back to back. — josh medina (@j0shmedina) June 20, 2016
