The Cleveland Cavaliers used to be at the top of the world. With Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love, and LeBron James at the helm, they were almost a lock to make the NBA Finals every single year. The only problem was that the only team significantly better than them was also repeatedly in the Finals.

The rivalry between James's Cavaliers and Curry's Golden State team included four consecutive matchups in the NBA Finals from 2015 to 2018, three of which were won by the Warriors. During their sitdown ahead of Christmas, James compared the battle between the two sides to "a rap beef."

LeBron James voiced concerns over the growing emphasis on three-point shooting in the NBA. As a player whose career is synonymous with the three-pointer, Stephen Curry was asked to weigh in on the debate—and he made his stance clear.
