Videos: Over One Hundred Reaction Videos From The Cavs Winning A Title

This is a running blog post. New videos will be posted daily as people keep submitting them. Check in for updates!


After the Cavs beat the greatest bestest most amazing wholesome golden team of all time Sunday night, you knew there’d be some A+ reactions. 52 years of pent up excitement will do that to you. When Kyrie hit that 3 the city collectively lost its mind and when the clock hit 0 it was absolute mayhem inside of the Q, outside at the watch party, inside the local bars, and all around northeast Ohio. Here’s a collection of reader submitted reaction videos and videos I’ve seen floating around social media.

First off, let’s hear and watch Fred McLeod’s call:

Watch Fred McLeod & Austin Carr call the Final Buzzer of Game 7

https://twitter.com/crsmith/status/744965380737765376

Tuesday, June 21st, 2016:

Day two. Progress today. I was awake for close to three hours before crying. Hoping to get to a full day by the end of the week.

I mean, wow. Just wow. “Goodnight Oakland! It’s over!” in that first clip quite possibly might be my favorite call in Cleveland Sports history. Takes your breath away. You can literally hear 52 years of built-up pressure being popped by the sword of the Cavaliers.

I love AC and Fred. So much. I know announcers are supposed to be “professional” and “unbiased” for the most part, but seeing Fred basically go into convulsions after his team won the championship, I wouldn’t want anyone else.

Austin let it ride through the night and into yesterday, too:

Is it Wednesday yet?

The Summer of JR Smith is just beginning

J.R. Smith is on a special kind of run right now.

He’s been one of the most criticized Cavs players over the past two playoff runs. People said the moment was too big for him, that you couldn’t trust him, that he’d never be able to contribute on a stage as large as the NBA Finals.

Throw all that shit out the window, folks. The Cavaliers are NBA Champions, and J.R. Smith played a huge part in our team winning the game we’ll never forget on Sunday.

But this run I’m talking about, the Summer of J.R. Smith, all started with his daughter Demi’s comments about her daddy after the Cavs win in Game 6:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAV8fRNN-xA

Us too, Demi. Us too.

Then, and I’m not sure this is getting talked about enough (we’ll get there, we only have the rest of eternity to talk about that game), J.R. put in 8 points in the first two and a half minutes of the second half on Sunday. He helped squash what looked like a potential Warriors run, keeping us within 2 at the 9:30 mark in the third.

After the win, Smith gave what I’m sure will go down as one of the most memorable post game pressers of all time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Up12Su7-JeQ

You honestly can’t say enough about that three minute clip. Most guys pack it in when they get emotional, maybe ask for the next question or walk off the stage altogether. Not J.R. He fought through the tears to give his full answer so the world could hear what his father and family means to him. A special moment.

After that, J.R. was understandably ready to party.

Must have left his shirt in Vegas, cause when The Pipe stepped off the plane in Cleveland yesterday, well, you had to see that coming.

What. A. Rollercoaster. And I think (hope) this is only the first of many hills and loops.

You can’t help but be happy for this guy. Watch this Vice ride along with him from earlier this year. After all he’s been through, to be able to experience this run with his family and contribute and be embraced by his teammates and this city, man. Try not to smile.

I cannot WAIT to see what he has in store for Wednesday.
