And I\u2019ve been there before as well. So Steph was definitely the MVP of our league and is the MVP in our league and is a great basketball player, and what he does for this league is amazing.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;GOLLIVER:&amp;nbsp;Can LeBron, Cavaliers seize revenge on the Warriors?&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Cavaliers and Warriors will open the NBA Finals on Thursday night at 9 p.m. ET from Oracle Arena.\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
