The 2018 NBA Finals is officially in the books with the Golden State Warriors coming away victorious for the second straight year with Kevin Durant leading the way. Although the Cleveland Cavaliers had an incredible run throughout the NBA playoffs with LeBron James playing perhaps the best basketball of his career, it wasn't enough to even take one game from the mighty Warriors on the biggest stage.
Despite the sweep, LeBron and company still made the highlight reels during this series. The three-time champion is featured multiple times with his pass off the backboard to himself for the two-hand jam being amongst the best during this Finals along with Kevin Durant's dagger in Game 3 and some Stephen Curry's incredible shots throughout the four games played.
With the Warriors now lifting the Larry O'Brien Trophy for the third time in four years, Golden State is starting to be mentioned in the dynasty conversation with some of the greatest teams in NBA history. Durant and company have now become a team mentioned in the same breath as Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls, the Showtime era of the Los Angeles Lakers, and Larry Bird's iconic Boston Celtics teams as well as the Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal-led squad in L.A.
As the Warriors continue to cement their legacy as an all-time great team, the rest of the NBA will try to figure out a way to knock them off their pedestal. It will be no easy task with this team young and motivated to make history.
