Kevin Durant was named NBA Finals MVP for the second straight season after leading the Golden State Warriors to back-to-back championships.
Durant recorded a triple-double in Friday's 108-85 game-four victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Warriors superstar scored 20 points with 12 rebounds and 10 assists as Golden State sealed a series sweep.
"This about the journey, going to work every day with these guys," Durant said after the game on ABC . "It's fun when you play against one of the best in the game [LeBron James]."
Durant had scored 43 points in game three. He was narrowly named MVP, edging out Warriors team-mate Stephen Curry by a couple of votes.
Joining illustrious company, Durant became just the sixth player to win back-to-back Finals MVPs. The others are LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, Michael Jordan and Hakeem Olajuwon.
