​I know I am a little bit late on the 2016 NBA Championship victory celebration for the Cleveland Cavaliers, but I wanted to give my 2 cents worth of opinions before it is forgotten.  Game 7 was an absolute classic and it was exactly what an elimination game should be (especially for the NBA Championship). …
