Washington (AFP) - Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors dominated the NBA in 2015, winning the team's first league title since 1975 and starting the 2015-16 campaign with a record-setting win streak.
As the year began, LeBron James was pulling together an injury-hit Cleveland Cavaliers team in his first season back in his home region after vowing to make the Cavs a champion.
And while eyes were focused on his revival of the Cavaliers and their run to the NBA Final, 3-point hot shot Curry was sparking the Warriors to the Western Conference crown and a spot in the NBA Final against James and Cleveland.
