To celebrate the 2015 NBA Finals we salute one of the game’s greatest. Finals time is LeBron time. Loved by many. Hated by probably equally as many. That’s what the greatest have to cope with. However, LeBron’s achievements are hard to talk down. 2015 marks his 5th consecutive Finals appearance. Since the 1960s, no player made the Finals 5 times in a row.

In honor of this remarkable performance, we give you a discount on many LeBron items. Check out our 2015 Finals Special (use promo code FINALS2K15 at checkout)!

2015 NBA Finals: Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Golden State Warriors
What’s next? For the 2014-15 season Lebron returned to Cleveland. This is where it all started. This is where a young LBJ made his first steps in the NBA. This is where he became the first Cavalier to win the MVP award. This is where he led an underdog team into the Finals once before. In 2007 the Spurs took the trophy, but LeBron showed the world that he was to become one of the greatest.
Now he’s back in the Finals with the Cavs. MVP Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors are awaiting them. Alongside Kyrie Irving LeBron is looking to write history. Who will be victorious? Who you got? No matter what happens in the Finals, King James has already shown that he is truly one of the greatest.
Update: LeBron is absolutely dominating this year’s Finals. In the first 3 games he scored 123 points, setting a new all-time record. The record was previously held by Rick Barry who scored 122 points in 1967 – for the San Francisco Warriors. Coincidence?
