One spot in the NBA finals has been decided, and it is none other than the Golden State Warriors. The Stephen Curry-led team puts forward a strong case for taking home the title this year. Moreover, this would be the 4th title for Curry, the same number of titles as LeBron James.

Interestingly enough, this has led to a Curry vs LeBron debate. Fans argue that Steph has a legacy equal to that of King James. However, an eminent analyst thinks otherwise.
