LeBron James (28 PTS, 14 REB, 10 AST) lifted the Larry O’Brien trophy for the fourth time in his 17-year career after putting on masterpiece performance in Game 6 of the 2020 NBA Finals.
LeBron was named MVP of the NBA Finals for the fourth time in his career (twice with Heat, once with Cavaliers and once with Lakers) becoming the first player in NBA history to be MVP of the Finals with three different teams.
Per ESPN, James was named the 2020 NBA Finals MVP for leading the Los Angeles Lakers to their first championship in a decade and winning the fourth title of his career with a 106-93 victory over the Miami Heat in Game 6. James, who previously won Finals MVP in 2012 and ’13 with the Heat and in 2016 with the Cleveland Cavaliers, is the first player in NBA history to win the award with three different franchises.
Winning his fourth Finals MVP moves him out of a tie with Magic Johnson, Tim Duncan and Shaquille O’Neal and into second all time — trailing only Jordan, who won the award six times.
“This was very challenging, and very difficult,” James said afterward. “It played with your mind, and it played with your body. You’re away from some of the things you’re so accustomed to [that] make you the professional you are.
“This is right up there with one of the greatest accomplishments I have.”
James delivering a 17th overall championship to the Lakers, who last won a title in 2010, came after a disappointing first season in Los Angeles.
