The two most famous athletes born in Akron, Ohio, will meet again. Stephen Curry vs. LeBron James produced a compelling six-game series last year, but the Warriors simply were the better team, and the Cavaliers were without James' costars, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love.
Now we get to answer the what-if. The Cavaliers are healthy, and the Warriors mostly are too, though they just had to outlast the Thunder in a grueling seven-game Western Conference finals — and Curry missed time with a knee injury earlier in the playoffs. That all sets the stage for the 73-9 Warriors not looking like such heavy favorites against the 57-25 Cavaliers as one might expect.
