Cleveland's curse has finally been broken.
After 52 years without a professional sports victory, LeBron James led the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 93-89 win over the Golden State Warriors in a dramatic Game 7 triumph on Sunday night.
"I'm home. This is what I came back for," an emotional James, 31, said shortly after the game ended.
"I gave everything I had. I poured my heart, my sweat, my tears into this game," said James, an Ohio native. "Cleveland, this is for you!"
A number of celebrities also offered congratulations via Twitter.
The win also marked the first time a team has come back from a 3-1 deficit in the NBA finals to declare victory.
James returned to the Cavaliers last season, promising the city that's had many near-misses a championship at long last.
"This is special," he also said after the game.
