The Cavaliers have reached the NBA Finals four times in their franchise history: in 2007, 2015, 2016, and 2017. The Cavs defeated the Golden State Warriors in 2016 to win their first NBA championship. That success was followed up by winning their second title in 2017, defeating the Warriors again for a 4-1 series victory.

The Cavaliers finished the 2015–16 season with a 57–25 record to earn the Eastern Conference’s No. 2 seed for the playoffs.

The players

The Cavs were, of course, victorious in the 2015 NBA Finals. But it was the players – their skills, their determination, and their will to win – that ultimately led to the team’s success. In this article, we’ll take a look at the individual players who contributed to the Cavs’ victory.

Stephen Curry

Stephen curry is an american professional basketball player for the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He was the Warriors’ 2014–15 season Most Valuable Player (MVP) and is a two-time NBA All-Star. Many players and analysts have called him the greatest shooter in NBA history. He is one of the most popular athletes in the world, and ranks as one of America’s most influential sports figures.

LeBron James

LeBron James was born on December 30, 1984, in Akron, Ohio. He began playing organized basketball in fifth grade. LeBron played running back and wide receiver for his football team and also started for the St. Vincent-St. Mary varsity basketball squad as a freshman. Standing 6′8″ tall, he quickly became the focus of attention from college recruiters and NBA scouts. As a high school junior, LeBron led his team to the state championship and was named Ohio’s “Mr. Basketball.”

After graduation, he was the first overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers. In his first season, LeBron was named Rookie of the Year. He quickly developed into one of the game’s top players, becoming a starter in just his second year and averaging over 20 points per game over the course of his career. During his time with the Cavs, LeBron became one of the most popular players in the league and helped lead Cleveland to its first NBA Finals appearance in 2007.

In 2010, LeBron made headlines when he decided to leave Cleveland as a free agent and join forces with All-Stars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh on the Miami Heat. The trio won two championships together before James returned to Cleveland in 2014. That year, he led the Cavaliers to their second Finals appearance, this time defeating the Golden State Warriors for the franchise’s first ever NBA title. Along with numerous individual accolades, James has been named MVP of both the regular season and NBA Finals three times each.
