He did it!
After 52 years of losing, basketball superstar LeBron James helped the Cleveland Cavaliers slamdunk a 93-89 victory over the Golden State Warriors in Game 7 finals of the NBA championships.
When the final buzzer of the final game rang, the power forward dropped to his knees and sobbed tears of joy. Talk about an ugly cry!
But he wasn't the only one putting the waterworks on -- his teammates and head coach Tyronn Lue were also crying over the history-making win.
The 31-year-old, who is from Ohio, said right after the game ended, "I'm home. This is what I came back for."
The clearly emotional hoopster added, "I gave everything I had. I poured my heart, my sweat, my tears into this game. Cleveland, this is for you!"
The triumph was also the first time in the history of the NBA finals that a team came back from from a 3-1 deficit to win.
The win was a particularly meaningful and storied one since James, who was on the Miami Heat from 2010-2014, played for the Cavs from 2003-2010, but returned last season and promised that the city would win a championship finally.
Looks like he kept his promise! We wonder if he thought he'd cry so much after it?!
Like him or hate him, Lebron James crying here is raw emotion. He brought a championship to Cleveland. Props https://t.co/f0wL27Cyv2
