James Named MVP

In walking away with series MVP honors, James averaged 29.7 points, 11.3 rebounds and 8.9 assists. He closed out the series by becoming just the third player in NBA history to record a triple-double in Game 7 of the Finals.

"I came back for a reason," James said of his return to his hometown. "I knew what I was capable of doing. I knew what I learned in the past couple of years that I was gone, and I knew if I had to -- when I came back -- I knew I had the right ingredients and the right blueprint to help this franchise get back to a place that we've never been. That's what it was all about."

James also won back to back Finals MVPs (2012, 2013) in two of the four seasons he starred ith the Miami Heat. He returned to Cleveland as a free agent in July 2014.
