Notable statistics:
-The Golden State Warriors have the best record in regular season NBA history (73W-9L)
-The Golden State Warriors coach is Steve Kerr. Steve Kerr played on the 1995-1996 Chicago Bulls, who had the previous best NBA regular season record (72W-10W)
-No team in NBA finals history has come from a 3-1 wins deficit to win 3 games straight and win the championship. After game 4, the Cavaliers were in the 3-1 wins position.
-During this season, the Golden State has not lost back-to-back games. They lost game 5. Statistically speaking, they should win the championship tonight and with the return of Draymond Green (suspended game 5) they have a better chance of shutting down Lebron James and Kyrie Irving - reference the next stat
-Lebron James and Kyrie Irving, of the Cleveland Cavaliers, are the only two teammates in NBA history to score 40+ points each in a single NBA finals game; they did this in game 5.
-Stephen Curry, of the Warriors, is the league MVP for the past 2 seasons and the Warriors won the championship title last season. Lebron James is a 4 time MVP, having won the championship is 2 of those seasons - 2012, 2013
I really like this North American playoff system.
I like the whole league system where the person with the most points win, but I love the idea of having a final series of games amongst the best teams -- it's so exciting.
