The NBA Finals start tonight, and the Warriors are making their first appearance in 40 years, led by league MVP Stephen Curry. The Cavaliers, meanwhile, are in the Finals for the first time in 8 years, but LeBron James is making his 5th consecutive appearance in the final series, the first player to do so in 46 years.
