NBA
It has become a tradition. For an unprecedented fourth straight season, the NBA features the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors. They face each other in the NBA Finals. You would think that teams meeting four consecutive times in the Finals would only happen once every 185 years. What Cleveland and Golden State have done has never happened in the NBA, but never in MLB, NFL, or NHL history either. It starts Thursday (May 31) at 8:00 pm on ABC and ESPN Radio with Game 1 at the Warriors.
