The Los Angeles Lakers secured the NBA Championship for a record-equalling 17th time.
It ultimately came with some ease as they destroyed the Miami Heat 106-93 to clinch a 4-2 series win.
For the fourth time in his career LeBron James – who earned his fourth title – was the MVP of the Finals which were staged without fans inside a bubble in Orlando.
And at age 36, he remains a man for the moment, piling in 28 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists in Game 6 as the Heat were extinguished to bring one of the strangest seasons in memory to a close.
“This was very challenging, and very difficult,” James said. “It played with your mind, and it played with your body. You’re away from some of the things you’re so accustomed to [that make you the professional you are.
“This is right up there with one of the greatest accomplishments I have.”
We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.
We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.
We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.
If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.
We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
