LeBron James and Steph Curry share one of the most iconic rivalries in the modern era. Prior to LBJ coming to the Western Conference, the two athletes met each other for four consecutive years in the NBA Finals.

Curry undeniably had the upper hand on James during their previous meetings. He and the Warriors won three NBA rings against the LeBron James-led Cavaliers. More importantly, the two teams produced arguably the best NBA Finals series of all-time in 2016.

Due to their constant rivalry in the Finals, fans have always wondered if there is any bad blood between the two. After all, Curry and the Dubs are responsible for half of LeBron’s final losses.
