WATCH: LeBron, Kyrie shine in NBA's Top 100 plays of 2016


Cleveland stars LeBron James' and Kyrie Irving's clutch plays in Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors earned them the top two spots in the league's Top 100 plays of 2016.

James' stunning rejection of Andre Iguodala's potential go-ahead lay-up with less than two minutes to go in Game 7 earned first-place honors, while Irving's go-ahead triple in the final minute of the game came in second.

Their heroics led the Cleveland Cavaliers to the NBA championship, a tough journey that saw the underdog Cavs battle back from a 3-1 deficit to take down the Warriors, who had won 73 games in the regular season only to falter at the finish line.

Also making it to the top 10 was Golden State guard Stephen Curry's ballsy pull-up three-pointer to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder in overtime, Los Angeles Lakers' Larry Nance Jr.'s "Statue of Liberty" dunk against the Brooklyn Nets, and OKC guard Victor Oladipo's double-pump, two-handed dunk over the Atlanta Hawks.
