The Golden State Warriors vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers 2016 NBA Finals are remembered as Steph Curry and company were leading to a new title as the Cavs were trailing 1-3 in the series.

But LeBron James and Kyrie Irving made one of the most impressive comebacks in an NBA Finals to win the championship title of that year, just when Curry looked unstoppable, James and Irving gave some of the best performances of their careers.

The Mavs guard, Kyrie Irving has now revealed how Kobe Bryant, probably unintentionally, inspired the then Cavs star to win that year's championship title.

Kyrie: “We’re having dinner in 2016 and Kobe says, ‘I think Golden State is going to win the title this year.’ Bro, can you imagine Kobe saying this? This is my hero.”  Kobe: “Steph is killing it this year.” Kyrie: “We’re gonna win this s***. I don’t wanna hear about Steph right now bro.”
