MANILA, Philippines – The reigning Most Valuable Player versus the player many consider to be the best on the planet.
It’s most fitting that the NBA Finals showdown pits Stephen Curry and LeBron James in a 7-game series that matches their contrasting strengths and styles for basketball supremacy.

Curry and James coincidentally are the only two unanimous selections to the 2014-15 All-NBA First Team. James averaged 25.3 points and 7.4 assists in his return to the Cleveland Cavaliers while Golden State Warrior Curry eclipsed his own record for 3-pointers made with 286 and averaged 23.8 points and 6.9 assists.
They were even born in the same hospital – Akron General Medical Center in Ohio.
