Let’s take a blast to the past, to the NBA final 2015-16. Golden State Warriors vs Cleveland Cavaliers. Stephen Curry vs LeBron James, and it was game 7. One of the most intriguing finals in the history of basketball where two icons in the making, faced off against each other. And it was a showdown.

But it was definitely a heartbreak for Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, who went on to lose the final at game 7. With a brilliant display from both sides, it ended in the Cavaliers who won by 89-93 walking away with the trophy. But even after years of heartbreak, some are still salty over the fact that Stephen Curry couldn’t save them like he did last game against the Phoenix Suns.
