June 19, 2016, will always go down as one of the most pivotal days in NBA history. It was the date of game 7 of the NBA Finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers, who had overcome a 3–1 series deficit to reach this do-or-die contest, and the Golden State Warriors, who were coming off the best regular-season record in league history at 73–9.

All sports fans know how the game played out with a LeBron James block and a Kyrie Irving 3-pointer propelling the Cavs to their first championship in franchise history and ending the 52-year curse of Cleveland sports teams not winning a title.
