john? >> thanks so much, michael. we are in cleveland, ohio. where it all happened tonight. folks inside the quicken loans arena, here, outside. tens of thousands of fans. and i have to tell you now, mike breen, there is a sense of now what? what do we do? the drive, craig elo, all is forgiven, the cleveland calf le cavaliers are nba champions in 2016. and a college friend earlier, dan, said either way, i'm going to cry tonight. either we're going to win or lose. and they are tears of joy tonight. lebron james does indeed lead them to the nba championship. so far, it's a peaceful, a bit shocked crowd outside quicken loans arena. probably a milt more crazy on fourth street. michael eaves, what do you have?

>> this city has been waiting to erupt all day. and fans from all the restaurants here in fourth and prospect raced out of the bars and restaurants to get here in the corner. there are fans behind me. and they started throws and paper interconfetand confetti o windows. there is a patrol car behind me from the police of cleveland. you can't see it right now. but there are a couple overzealous fans jumping up and down on the car. and police came in and secured it. but one other observation, i have seen a tremendous cross section in the city of cleveland. i have seen babies in strollers, moms and grand moms. strangers and hugging and taking pictures. and one man gave a high five to a police officer. they have been waiting for this moment for more than five

decad decades. we will send it back to mike breen in oakland there is no doubt the fans are all in for the cavs. >> mike: thank you so much. the champagne is flowing in the visitors locker room here at oracle arena, just like the cavaliers did last year celebrating their championship at quicken loans arena in the visitors locker room. just a magnificent scene and the emotion. from a basketball stand point, to come in and win two games here, just sensational. >> mark: no other team in the history of the game has come from behind 3-1. they held their composure. you have to give credit to ty lue, the leader of the basketball team. they responded to him not panicking and the supporting cast did their job. >> jeff: listen, game seven to hold this prolific offensive team to 13 points, the golden state warriors, is defense that

we have not seen on the road against this warrior team this year. it's a tremendous accomplishment. and all of ohio should be proud of their team. >> mike: and remember, 11 points in the fourth quarter of game six. just spectacular defense to help them win that championship. so, most finals mvps in nba history. lebron james had two in miami and picks up the trophy here for tonight's victory, here for the cleveland cavaliers. the celebration just under way both here at oracle arena and as we saw moments ago in cleveland. the party under way. well, for the golden state warriors, the shocking ending to their historic season. the defending champs established so much. 73 wins but unable to finish it off with another title.

will make for a painful off season wondering what happened. the two-time mvp steph curry h one of the great seasons in the 70-year history of the nba. but an uneven showing in the finals denies him what he wanted most. that was back-to-back championship rings. the cleveland cavaliers began their season with high hopes but had their share of bumps along the way, injuries, the head coach firing and the chemistry struggle of the big three. they became healthy. the new coach was the ideal voice and they were once again the best in the east. yet, the question remains, can they beat the west in the west? that seemed unlikely after four games in the finals until the kid from akron took over and it was believe land once again. and tristan thompson. his toughness and grit, the perfect fit for the team and the city. it was the humble rookie head coach who took over a team that was 30-11 and asked to make them

better. mission accomplished, coach lue. your team is a champion. it was the incredibly talented point guard who shined his brightest on the nba's biggest stage. outplaying the two-time mvp and showing he can be breath taking in his position as anyone in the game and of course it was lebron james, the talented leader has already established himself as one of the all time greats. a once in a generation player. he may not be able to silence all of his critics but his third title is his greatest accomplishment and no doubt the sweetest one of all. bringing the long, elusive title to his hometown. the cavaliers have doing something no team has ever done in the history of the nba finals. overcoming a 3-1 deficit to win it all. the first time in the city's history. congratulations, cleveland, the

cavaliers are nba champions.
