BLOCKED BY JAMES!! is 10 years old.
The iconic call from ESPN's Mike Breen when LeBron James pulled off a stunning chasedown block of Andre Iguodala with 1:51 left and the score tied in Game 7 of the 2016 Finals was on June 19, 2016, a day that has become an instant holiday in Cleveland.
A few moments later, when Breen uttered "[Kyrie] Irving puts it up...it's GOOD!" the Cleveland Cavaliers had the winning points to outlast Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors.
The 2016 Finals was the peak of one of the greatest seasons in NBA history, one that included the Warriors' record 73 regular-season wins and Kobe Bryant's farewell tour, which culminated with his 60-point regular-season finale.
The playoffs included the Warriors coming back from 3-1 down in the Western Conference finals, including a 41-point career-defining showing from Klay Thompson in Game 6, to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder.
And, of course, then there was Cleveland, becoming the first NBA team to come back from 3-1 down in the Finals.
A decade later, just where are those 2016 Cavs? What have they been up to?
Well, other than playing golf in Scotland, part of a European 10-year reunion some members of the team planned to celebrate the occasion.
PLAYERS
LeBron James
What he did then: James was the first and remains the only player to lead his team in all five major statistical categories (points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks) during the Cavs' 2016 postseason run.
His chase-down effort to thwart a certain layup from Iguodala with the score tied at 89-89 late in Game 7 in Golden State will live on forever in Cleveland sports lore simply as "The Block."
And his celebratory interview with ESPN's Doris Burke after the final buzzer erased a 53-year title drought for The Land remains iconic. "Cleveland! This is for youuuuuuuu!"
