Durant and Curry turned on, arguably, the best tandem play from their two seasons in Oakland, Durant nailed the dagger shots, Curry sapped momentum with his threes and did so after being injured for much of the start of this playoff series.

They looked shaky in game one but in the next three games KD, Curry and the role players never gave the Cavs a proper look again.

A 4-0 sweep in the NBA Finals is rare and special and for KD winning back to back NBA Finals MVP was just as special an achievement as just six players in history have done that.

Today's 108-85 win was an anti-climax of sorts after the drama of the first three games but it showed how consistently good this Warriors team is.

James was outstanding throughout the series but a touch muted in the final two games as he tried to bring other teammates into the game and was swarmed by the Warriors.

His run was historic at an individual level but in truth the Cavaliers title hopes ended the moment they traded Kyrie Irving to Boston after the star guard forced their hands.

They will look back and wonder if they should have just held out and made him play. It's far more likely he would have been a pro about it rather than sulked or stood out.

But right now the league is owned by the Warriors and the Houston Rockets have the next go at toppling the three-time champs.

The offseason will see player movement, perhaps even James making a move and who knows which other super teams could be formed.

Still what I liked best from this day was the way Warriors coach Steve Kerr took time to tell each of his players how they contributed to this title.

Superstars lead the way in title runs but role players and reserves make contributions too.

The Warriors are still NBA champions and it will take something special to topple them. Let the chase begin.
