NBA: Steph Curry is the least respected star says Cowherd
The NBA Finals have now been set after the Toronto Raptors won the Eastern Conference Finals following a thrilling series with the Milwaukee Bucks.
It is the first time a team from Canada will be competing for the NBA championship.
But they must overcome the best performing team in the league over the past five seasons.
The Warriors are aiming to win a third consecutive title and a fourth in five years.
Kevin Durant and DeMarcus Cousins may not be fit to return for the start of the NBA Finals, but reports have suggested at least one is expected to come back at some point.
That could give the Raptors an advantage in the early stages, and they will also hold homecourt heading into the series.
Both teams will have a few more days rest before the NBA Finals begin.
