Don't Get Your Feelings Hurt...

When an opponent said LeBron couldn’t handle a little trash talk in 2016 when his team was down 3-1, it stoked something inside King James. The rest is history. LeBron led the Cavs from the brink of elimination to the crown, highlighted by one of the biggest plays of his career—a chase down block late in a tied Game 7 that swung the tide of the contest. 

This colorway salutes that historic moment when the Cavs became the only team in league history to overcome a 3-1 deficit for their first and only title.
