Top 5 Greatest NBA Finals MVP performances of all time

#3 LeBron James, 2016

Series Averages: 29.7 Points, 11.3 Rebounds, 8.9 Rebounds, 2.6 Steals, 2.3 Blocks

The most recent entry on this list, the 2016 NBA Finals will live long in the memory of every Basketball fan. The dominant 73-9 Warriors against the massive underdog Cavaliers in a rematch of the 2015 Finals. While they blew away everyone in the regular season, Golden State stumbled in the playoffs but managed to somehow get past the Thunder despite being down 3-1.

Once the Finals got underway, however, it seemed to be business as usual as Golden State jumped to a 3-1 lead and looked set to win back to back titles. Momentum swung at the end of Game 4, however, as Draymond Green got suspended for Game 5.

What followed the suspension was arguably the best 3 game stretch of LeBron's career, as he scored 41 Points in Game 5 and 6 before a Triple Double (and that epic block) in Game 7 capped off a remarkable turnaround as the Cavs won the series in 7 games.

LeBron would end up leading both teams in every statistical category, the first time it's ever happened in the Finals. While LeBron was amazing in this series, it wasn't exactly a one-man show, which is why it doesn't go higher up the list, as we cannot just dismiss the role Kyrie Irving played in the comeback and of course who can ever forget that dagger 3 over Steph Curry which basically clinched Game 7.
