The two coaches who mentored LeBron James in high school watched their star pupil snap Cleveland’s championship drought on Sunday from the comforts of their homes.
Keith Dambrot and Dru Joyce II stayed in and witnessed history on television with family members as James led the Cavaliers to the championship in Oakland with a 93-89 victory over the Golden State Warriors in Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals.
The victory was Cleveland’s first title in a major sport in 52 years and the third NBA title for James, who also won two with the Miami Heat.
