2016 is an extraordinary year for the NBA, Kobe Bryant's retirement tour ended so that the 73-win Warriors did not make headlines, and the Warriors fell behind 1-3 in the Western Conference but reversed the "King Bomb Combination" Durant, Wei Shao led the Thunder, I thought that there would be a blessing in the future, but they lost to the Cavaliers with a 3-1 lead in the Finals, and lost the championship, and the Cavaliers made history, becoming the first team to win the championship after falling behind 1-3 in the Finals, which is also the first championship in their 52-year history. Where are the Cavaliers' starting five tigers now?

James is the undisputed first person in team history, before he joined the Cavaliers only made two Eastern Conference finals, he was drafted by the Cavaliers in 2003, he played in Cleveland for the first seven years, reached two Eastern Conference finals and one Finals, and the seven-year itch James brought his talent to Miami, reaching the Finals and winning two championships for four consecutive years, and he returned to the Cavaliers in 2014, reaching the Finals for four consecutive years and winning the 2016 championship, In the finals, he averaged 29.7 points, 11.3 rebounds, 8.9 assists, 2.6 steals and 2.3 blocks per game, all five statistics were the highest in the series, and he was also awarded the FMVP.

In 2018, James, who had dominated the East for eight years, left the East and signed with the Lakers to come to the City of Angels, but James failed to make the playoffs in the first year of coming to the West, and in 19 the Lakers traded for thick eyebrows, and the Zhanmei combination helped the Lakers win the 17th championship in team history in 2020, and the total number of championships tied with the Celtics for first place.

After winning the championship, the Lakers fell into silence again, ranked seventh in the regular season in the 21-22 season, the team stopped in the first round, this is also the first round tour of James' career, the Lakers in the 21-22 season in exchange for Wei Shao, but they didn't even enter the playoffs, in the 22-23 season, James became the all-time scoring champion, the Lakers counterattacked all the way to the Western finals, but unfortunately they were swept by the final champion Nuggets, this season James led the Lakers to win the first midseason championship, James added another FMVP, but the Lakers were in a slump again after the midseason, In the end, it only ranked seventh in the West and was eliminated by the Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs.

If James is the first contributor to the Cavaliers' championship, then Irving is the key to winning the championship, and he made a three-pointer against Curry in the tie-break, making the 73-win Warriors a laughing stock. In 2017, the Cavaliers lost in the Finals, and Irving also decided to leave, he was sent to the Celtics by the Cavaliers, but he did not have a good time in Boston, and the Celtics reached the Eastern Conference finals in the 17-18 season, but it had nothing to do with Irving, he missed the playoffs due to injury.

In the 18-19 playoffs, Irving averaged 21.3 points per game and shot only 38.5% from the field, and the Celtics stopped in the second round, and Irving signed with the Nets after the season. He played only 143 regular-season games in three and a half seasons with the Nets due to injuries and the pandemic, and the longest of the two playoffs was to the second round. In the 22-23 season, the Nets decided to break the team, traded Durant and Irving, Irving also joined Dallas, and they didn't even make the play-offs in their first season with the Mavericks, but they also drafted the 19-year-old Lively with the twelfth pick, and he plugged and played to prop up the team's interior line, and now Irving is still fighting in the West, hoping to reach the Finals again and win another championship.

Lefu was also one of the Knights' Big Three that year, and Jean remained with the Cavaliers after Jan'ou left. In 2018, he renewed his contract with the Cavaliers with a big contract of 120 million for 4 years, but since the 21-22 season, Love has become a substitute, and the team's record has not improved, and he has not been able to enter the playoffs, and the Cavaliers have changed the world in the 22-23 season, the team traded Mitchell, and the Cavaliers reached a buyout agreement with him in the middle of the season, ending his nearly nine-year Cavaliers career, he played in 489 games with the Cavaliers, 380 starts, and the team also promised to retire his No. 0 jersey.

After being bought out, he signed with the Heat, and as a starter all the way to the Finals, but unfortunately lost to the Nuggets and was the runner-up, this season Love is still shining on the Heat bench, but the Heat failed to repeat last year's miracle, losing 1-4 to the regular season champion Celtics in the first round.

JR Smith was also a starter when he won the championship, averaging 10.6 points in 37.1 minutes per game in the Finals, as a nervous knife player, he often did some unreasonable things on the court, the most famous is the 2018 Finals G1 He grabbed an offensive rebound before the end of regular time but did not immediately shoot but walked the ball outside the three-point line, resulting in time running out, the Cavaliers were dragged into overtime and lost the game, and finally shaved his head by the Warriors.

JR's career took a sharp turn after the finals that year, and after playing 11 games in the 18-19 season, the Cavaliers announced that JR would no longer represent the team, and the Cavaliers cut him in the offseason, and the Lakers signed him in July 2020, JR also teamed up with James again, and after playing 6 regular season games, he went to the playoffs with the team, and he was only a water cooler administrator in the playoffs, only playing in ten games, averaging 2 points per game, and he scored a three-pointer in G1 against the Nuggets in the Western Conference finals, It also allowed him to surpass Kobe Bryant to rise to ninth all-time with his three-point total, and JR also won the championship with the team, which was also his second championship, and JR Smith ended his career after the season, and he was also the first of the Cavaliers' starting five to retire.

Tristan Thompson was the No. 4 pick in 2011, he and Irving were drafted by the Cavaliers in the same year, the first nine TT years were with the Cavaliers, he averaged 10.3 points and 10.1 rebounds per game in the '16 Finals, and there were three people in that series who averaged two double-doubles per game, namely James, Green and Thompson. In 2020, Thompson joined the Celtics to start a wandering career, played 54 regular season games with the Celtics in the 20-21 season, a playoff round, and changed teams three times in the 21-22 season, first being traded to the Kings for 30 games, then traded to the Pacers for four games, and signed for the Bulls for 23 games after being cut.

He didn't get a deal with him for a long time after the season ended, and the Lakers gave him a contract before the start of the 2023 playoffs, and he was on the same team with big brother James again, but he only played in six playoff games, averaging 1.8 points and 1.7 rebounds per game. This season he returned to Cleveland, where his dream began, averaging 3.3 points and 3.6 rebounds in 11.2 minutes per game in the regular season, and in the second round of the playoffs, TT averaged 1.5 points and 2 rebounds in 8.7 minutes per game.
