LeBron James has played a massive 10 NBA Finals series and won four titles. Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors were a major thorn in his crown during James’ time with the Cleveland Cavaliers. James and the Cavs faced the Warriors in four-straight times in the Finals and won once in 2016. This arguably makes the Dubs the biggest rival of the four-time NBA MVP. Even though the Cavs managed to win just one title in four attempts, they did it in tremendous fashion. Tristan Thompson, who was also a huge part of that Cavaliers team, recently gave major props to a player for his displays in game-7 of the 2016 Finals. And it is neither James nor Kyrie Irving.

Tristan Thompson gives props to Kevin Love

Tristan Thompson shared a highlight of his former Cleveland Cavaliers teammate Kevin Love and lauded his display in the dying minutes of game-7 of the 2016 NBA Finals. Kevin was one of the best two-way players at the time and averaged close to a double-double with points and rebounds. Furthermore, he could handle a mismatch as well which he proved in the video clip. With less than 40 seconds left in regulation, the Warriors were trailing by 3 points, and Stephen Curry had the ball. After a pick by Draymond Green, Love switched to guard Curry. Everyone in the arena knew Curry would look for a three to tie the game.

The two-time NBA MVP tried to shake off Love with a combination of moves. However, the forward danced with him and would not leave an inch. Curry then fired a three-pointer but hit the iron, and LeBron James grabbed the rebound. Amidst rumors of Kevin leaving the Cavs, the clip was trending on social media. Tristan shared it in his Instagram story with the caption, “@kevinlove had them puppies moving #PlayoffKLove different”.
