2015/16 – The year NBA peaked
The 2015/16 season had it all. Kobe’s farewell tour, Curry’s record-breaking threes, LeBron’s legendary Finals comeback, and Aaron Gordon nearly redefining gravity in the Dunk Contest. It was a season so packed with drama that even the mascots became part of basketball folklore.
And now, thanks to Sofascore’s complete NBA data expansion, you can relive every highlight and performance – backed by precise ratings and full match histories.
Stephen Curry: The first unanimous MVP
In 2015/16, Stephen Curry didn’t just make shots, he made history. His 8.36 Sofascore Rating that season crowned him the league’s highest-rated player, perfectly reflecting his dominance during the Warriors’ 73-win campaign.
That season Curry became the first unanimous MVP in NBA’s history. Behind him were Russell Westbrook (8.13) and Chris Paul (8.11), showing just how competitive that era was.
Sofascore Ratings now let you compare their peak performances, game by game, across every season since 2013/14.
The 73-9 Warriors: Numbers that changed the game
No one believed it could be done – until it was.
The Golden State Warriors rewrote basketball history in 2015/16, finishing with an incredible 73-9 record, surpassing the 1995/96 Chicago Bulls and redefining what regular-season dominance looked like. Led by Stephen Curry’s record-breaking 402 three-pointers, the team turned efficiency into an art form.
The Warriors didn’t just win, they changed how basketball was played and understood.
Mamba out: Kobe’s last masterpiece
April 13, 2016. Kobe Bryant, age 37, drops 60 points in his final game – closing his career with a 9.5 Sofascore Rating and a victory against Utah.
That night wasn’t just a farewell; it was a final act of a player who built his legend on impossible challenges. Bryant left the court the only way he knew how – victorious and unforgettable.
Finals perfection: LeBron and Kyrie’s double 10s
Game 5 of the 2016 NBA Finals was basketball perfection. LeBron James and Kyrie Irving each delivered 41 points, earning perfect 10.0 Sofascore Ratings in the same game – a rare moment of shared brilliance on the biggest stage.
For Cleveland, it was the turning point. Down 3–1, the Cavaliers refused to fold. Together, they reignited belief that history could be rewritten – and it was.
The block, the shot, the title
Game 7. Warriors vs. Cavaliers.
LeBron’s chase-down block. Kyrie’s clutch three.
And finally, Cleveland’s first NBA championship.
It remains one of the most dramatic finishes the sport has ever seen – seven games that defined careers. Even in defeat, Draymond Green’s 9.7 Sofascore Rating stood out as a reminder that greatness can exist on both sides of history. The 2016 Finals weren’t just about who won, but how far each team pushed the limits of basketball itself.
