The 2016 Finals Game 7 was LeBron James’ greatest defensive moment. With under two minutes left and the score tight, Andre Iguodala seemed headed for a sure layup—James sprinted back and swatted it away.
That "chase-down" preserved Cleveland’s lead. He then hit the go-ahead three and sealed it from the line. A player delivering the series-defining block and points in a Game 7 is rare.
This game crushed the "LeBron is soft in clutch" doubt. With two-way dominance, he proved he is the king who carries everything.
Some defenses don’t show in stats but in history. LeBron’s block is one.
