NBA legend and future hall-of-famer LeBron James returned to the NBA Playoffs last Sunday after three years away, beating the Memphis Grizzlies in the opening game.

In a must-win game for the Cleveland Cavaliers in game six of the Eastern Conference Finals, LeBron James produced a heroic 46 points, 11 rebounds, and nine assists to take the series to Game 7.

Despite his best efforts of 49 points, six rebounds, and eight assists, The Cavs ultimately lost game one 107-106, eventually losing the series 4-2.

After picking up two NBA Championships in the two previous seasons, James and the Miami Heat were cruising to their third NBA title, beating the Brooklyn Nets 102-96 and going 3-1 up in the series.

Under the guidance of Kevin Durant and Steph Curry, Golden State had too much depth and quality for James and the Cavs, sweeping them 4-0 in the finals.
