These two superstars have dominated the NBA for the past decade. This year's meeting wasn't on the biggest stage like when they faced off in four straight NBA Finals from 2015 to 2018, per NY Times. James and Curry are 38 and 35, respectively, meaning they are nearing the end of their illustrious careers.

The Warriors superstar showed he still got it when he led the Warriors to NBA glory last season.

He also showed why no one should write him off just yet when he scored 50 points in Game 7 against the Sacramento Kings in the first round.

Earlier this year, James became NBA's all-time leading scorer after passing Kareem Abdul Jabbar's record that had stood for nearly 40 years.

In Game 6, James finished with 30 points while Curry had 32, signs that they can still do it at the top level.
