The 2020 NBA Finals was the championship series of the National Basketball Association (NBA)’s 2019–20 season and conclusion of the season’s playoffs. In the best-of-seven playoff series held from October 1 to 17, 2020, the Western Conference champion Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Eastern Conference champion Miami Heat, four games to two. This was James’ record-tying 10th NBA Finals appearance, joining Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Bill Russell as the only players in NBA history to do so; all three have won at least four NBA championships each. James was named Finals MVP for a record-tying fourth time, after averaging 29.8 points, 11.3 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 2.2 steals per game, joining Michael Jordan as the only players in NBA history to win consecutive Finals MVP awards with two different teams.

Game 1 of the series was dubbed by media outlets as one of the greatest games in NBA Finals history after Jimmy Butler scored 40 points while also serving as Miami’s primary ball-handler, playmaker and defensive stopper throughout all 48 minutes of regulation and overtime, leading his team to a come-from-behind 116–110 victory over Los Angeles in Game 1. The game featured 14 lead changes and 11 ties, including seven lead changes and five ties in the fourth quarter and overtime periods combined. In Game 2, Miami suffered a similar fate in another close game that saw 15 lead changes and 11 ties; however they ultimately lost 102–96 afterAnthony Davis made a decisive dunk with 28.2 seconds left in overtime.James bounced back from his Game 1 loss by recording a triple double (32 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists) en route to a 124–114 victory over Miami in Game 3; this was also Rajon Rondo’s first ever 30+ point performance in an NBA Finals game (he finished with 19 points). After trailing by double digits early on in Game 4, James again led his team back by scoring 34 points while Davis had 28 as they evened up the series with a 102–96 victory over Miami. In Game 5 held on October 9 – James’ 35th birthday – he had 28 points along with 12 assists but it wasn’t enough as Butler led Miami to their second straight win with 35 points en route to a 111–108 victory that gave them a 3–2 lead in the series headed back to Florida for Game 6 two nights later

With their backs against the wall down 3–2 going into Game 6 on October 11 – facing elimination for the first time all postseason – James came out aggressive and led all scorers with 28 points while Davis had 12 points and 15 rebounds as they evened up the series at three games apiece with a 106–93 victory over Miami; becoming only the fourth team ever to force a seventh game after trailing 3–1 in an NBA Finals series (joining 1941Washington Bullets/Stags, 1969Boston Celticsand 2006Miami Heat) In what would turn out to be their final game of the season – despite putting up 27 points and 14 rebounds – Butler would ultimately lose his fight against James and Davis as they proved too much for him and his supporting cast; being outplayed down low en route to suffering defeat by a final score of 115–104 allowing Los Angelesto win their record-tying17th NBA championship overalland their first since 2010..
