MVP:
f he doesn’t win Finals MVP, Curry will be the only player in NBA history with multiple MVP awards, four trips to the Finals and zero Finals MVPs.
If he does win MVP, Curry will become the 8th player with 3 titles and multiple MVPs; others are Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Russell, Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and Tim Duncan.
The other strength of Curry in the Finals has been his playmaking. Curry is averaging nearly eight assists per game and his teammates are shooting 74% from the field off his passes. A big reason is the attention he draws. With all eyes on Curry his passes have led to 19 uncontested shots (Warriors 15-19 on those shots).

Cleveland is the first team in NBA Finals history to be down 3-0 in consecutive seasons. No team has ever comeback from a 3-0 deficit in a best-of-7 series in NBA history (131-0 overall and 13-0 in the NBAFinals).
Only three teams (Blazers in 2003 1st Round, Nuggets in 1994 Conf Semis and Knicks in 1951 NBA Finals) have even forced a Game 7.
When down 3-0 in a best-of-7 series, the most common result is to simply get swept. 80 of the 131 teams overall to be down 3-0 were eliminated via a sweep, including eight of 13 NBA Finals teams.

If the Warriors beat the Cavaliers for their third NBA title in four years, they will not have to discuss whether to accept a possible invitation to the White House. Trump told reporters that neither Golden State nor Cleveland would be welcome. sfchronicle.com/warriors/artic…
