Kevin Durant, who received the NBA Final MVP award, was the best player for the Warriors final, shining both offensively and defensively as well.
Even after coughing up a 3-1 lead in last year's championship round, the Warriors are already a dynasty thanks to the addition of Kevin Durant - a free agency coup that might not have happened if not for that Finals defeat.
Up until the post-game presscon, James remained defiant that the Cavs were capable of beating the Warriors team that dominated them in four of five games.
The Golden State Warriors have some wheeling and dealing to do, but prized assets Kevin Durant and Steph Curry are ready to commit to the National Basketball Association champions.
Despite coming up on the losing end of The Finals for the fifth time in eight trips, James averaged a triple-double over the five games, a first for the NBA's championship series.
The Warriors won a league-record 14 consecutive games during this year's playoffs and went 16-1 overall in the postseason.
Golden State winning this championship became a near foregone conclusion to many when the league salary cap spike allowed the 73-win squad to add Kevin Durant last summer.

Some reports have suggested James, the best player on the planet, may head to California to join the Lakers or Clippers in 2018, likely bringing talented players along in an effort to topple the Warriors if the Cavaliers fall short again next year. As they showed during the 2017 NBA Playoffs, they're still on a completely different level when compared to all of the other teams in the Eastern Conference, so they should make a return to the Finals in 2018.
Durant tipped his hat to Cleveland, especially guard Kyrie Irving and forward LeBron James.
Cleveland got off to a fast start and built a 41-33 lead on a dunk by James early in the second quarter. "He's put the time in and I'm just so happy for him to be able to realize his goal and be my teammate".
After shooting 55.6 percent and contributing 35.2 points, 8.4 rebounds and 5.4 assists to the five-game domination, he now has a new title. Or did the voters get it right in awarding it to Durant?
"But we're champions and it's fantastic doing it on our home court".
"I ain't got to say nothing", Durant said, as if that was all he had to say.
