The final 4:39 of Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals was as intense as any the sport has ever seen. This was Cleveland versus Golden State inside the raucous (and dearly missed) Oracle Arena in Oakland.
The stakes were enormous. The defense was hellacious. The pressure, even more so.
It’s why no one — even a floor full of future Hall of Famers — could hit a shot.
Not LeBron James, who would miss four times. Not Stephen Curry, who also missed four. Not Klay Thompson or Kevin Love or Andre Iguodala or Draymond Green.
