2019 in the NBA Finals.
Kawhi Leonard had one of the best postseason runs.

Golden State
The Cleveland Cavaliers completed objectively the greatest sports comeback of all time.
The Cavs were able to do what no team had ever done in the NBA Finals, come back from down 3-1.
Similar to Tom Brady, this helped LeBron James' case for the greatest of all time.
It was so important because no one thought it could be done, especially against the Warriors who were the greatest team of all time.
At the time it brought the city of Cleveland its first championship in any sport in over 50 years.
Now it is looked at as one of the all-time performances where LeBron was able to bring his hometown a championship.
I picked this because it is my favorite sports series of all time.

Donald Trump was elected president after beating Hillary Clinton. He won on November 8th of 2016. "President Trump set out his stall on immigration just a week after his inauguration, closing US borders to travelers from seven Muslim-majority countries." I picked him because he is definitely the most controversial president of the 21 century, whether you liked him or not, he did good things but he did have some flaws. (Like a lot of presidents)

Easily the most important event of the 21st century. It was between the U.S. and terrorists mainly from Saudi Arabia. 911 was where 4 planes were hijacked by terrorists. 2 of the planes crashed into the twin towers, while the other 1 hit the pentagon. The 4th plane crashed into a field after the passengers tried to regain control of the plane. The pentagon is located in Washington D.C. and the Twin Towers were in New York, New York. Looking back it is still remembered, it changed so many things, especially airline security. I picked it because everyone I ask or everywhere I search says something about 911.
