The Golden State Warriors defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers to win the NBA Finals and their fans celebrated across the world Tuesday night.

After the 105-97 Game 6 victory over the Cavaliers, Warriors’ fans and NBA fans hopped on Twitter to celebrate the team’s first championship since 1975.

And acknowledging that LeBron didn’t exactly get the help he needed from his role players.

People began placing a crying Michael Jordan onto nearly every Cavs player.

People also brought up Carmelo Anthony, the former teammate of Cleveland Cavaliers guards Iman Shumpert and J.R. Smith.

And took direct shots at Iman Shumpert and J.R. Smith — Anthony’s former teammates.

And when Andrea Iguodala — often referered to as Iggy — was announced the Finals MVP, Iggy Azalea came into the picture.
