With the Eastern Conference Finals in the bag, LeBron James and David Blatt shared a nice moment

On Tuesday night the Cleveland Cavaliers did what a lot of people expected them to do, and that was sweep the Atlanta Hawks right out of the Eastern Conference Playoffs. LeBron James, David Blatt and the rest of the Cavaliers put on quite the performance in this one.

Speaking of LeBron and Blatt, a lot of people find it interesting that they’re in this position right now, considering that early on in the season there was a lot of talk as to whether or not the player and coach even liked one another. Regardless of whatever was the case, they were able to put it all together and earn a trip to the NBA Finals.

Coming down the stretch of this rout on Tuesday, cameras from TNT caught up with Blatt and LeBron having quite the moment on the bench, with Blatt telling LeBron that he deserves all of this for coming back home like he did.

A nice moment captured between two people that a lot of folks expected hated one another just a few months ago, but Blatt isn’t wrong. James came back for exactly this, and he accomplished it.

Now, there’s just one more goal for these two to achieve.
