Cleveland sports fans flooded the streets last night after seeing their first championship since 1964.
En route to his third title, LeBron James was crowned Finals MVP for the third time and joined Jerry West (1969) and James Worthy (1988) as the only players to record a triple-double in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
James finished with 27 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists, helping the Cavaliers become the first team to come back from a 3-1 deficit.
Naturally, some of the Utah Jazz players took notice on Twitter and had some things to say about James' historical performance:
So much respect for @KingJames!! Congrats
