7 Reasons Cleveland Cavaliers Will Win Back-to-Back Championships

1. LeBron James

Having the best basketball player in the world playing for your team is automatically an asset, which gives the Cavaliers their ace in the hole. When that player happens to be competing at another level in the postseason, the cards start looking even better.

James is averaging 34.4 points, 9.0 rebounds and 7.1 assists this postseason and also appeared to put an end to his free-throw struggles during the Toronto series. In just four games, he managed to reach the foul line 54 times and connect 45 times for an 83.3 percent shooting percentage. Maintaining these numbers would give the Cavs an outstanding opportunity to win it all.

To even reach the finals, the Cavaliers still need to win four games. However, having already found a way to make history last year by becoming the first team ever to overcome a 3-1 deficit in the finals, they’re used to overcoming challenges. If they manage to win again this season, they’ll be the first Cleveland sports team since 1955 Cleveland Browns to win consecutive championships.
