Stephen Curry and LeBron James have developed one of the fiercest rivalries in basketball history, which includes four consecutive matchups in the NBA Finals.
The rivalry manifested in 2015, when Curry’s Warriors beat James’s Cavaliers for Curry’s first title. The next year, James and Cleveland completed a historic 3-1 comeback over Golden State for the Cavs’ first championship. Although the Warriors won the next two titles over Cleveland with relative ease, the rivalry was already cemented.
While speaking with Sports Illustrated’s Robin Lundberg, Curry explained that he understands the magnitude of his matchups with James, especially considering those four NBA Finals series.
