(The Gab Four didn't attend Media Day at the 2015 NBA
Finals, mainly because there was no Media Day. But had there been, here
is what they would have liked to ask members of the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers Heat . . . Sponsored by 3 Spoons Yogurt)

players, is a concern to them.

what contest, at a hypothetical Curry Family Picnic, takes the longest to
complete: HORSE or Monopoly.

Curry how he makes almost every single three-pointer he attempts.

Joe: I'd like to ask Curry if the
injury he incurred in Game 4 slowed him down in Game 5.

If LeBron wins the championship, I'd like to ask what's it's like to win it practically by yourself. Lol.
