As the 2017 NBA Finals prepares to tip off, we power rank every player on the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers roster
If there’s one thing that we’ve learned so far this season, it’s that the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors are clearly the two best teams in the NBA. Through the first three rounds of the playoffs, in which each the Cavs and Warriors have swept their way through the East and West respectively, there’s been little-to-no resistance for each team.
However, that will (likely) all change now. At least, that’s what NBA fans are expecting – and hoping.
The Cavs, led by LeBron James, will bring their red-hot offense and (improving) defense into the NBA Finals, hoping that they can recapture the same magic that helped them bring the first ever Larry O’Brien trophy to The Land.
Golden State, led by the NBA’s golden boy (Stephen Curry) and, now, the NBA’s biggest villain (Kevin Durant), hopes to avenge last year’s Finals embarrassment, in which they blew a 3-1 series lead.
Before the action, however, we decided to rank every single player on each of the rosters. Which roster will have the most names in the top 10? Let’s explore.
