The Rare Double Turn

Game 6 of the NBA Finals will be remembered for the type of poor officiating you'd see in Pro Wrestling, but also for the rare double turn. Steph Curry has been both a literal and figurative babyface while LeBron James has been the most trolled talent for years now. Yet, in one game, heel Curry emerged and face LeBron was born. Now, heel and face turns are fairly common, but two competitors changing roles in the same match is much more rare. 

The most famous double turn occurred on wrestling's biggest stage at WrestleMania 13. Bret "Hitman" Hart faced Stone Cold Steve Austin in a submission match. Hart entered the match a face but left a heel when he put Austin in a submission hold until Austin passed out from the pain and loss of blood and the match was called. Hart lost his cool and continued to attack Austin leading to fans flip-flopping their allegiance from Hart to Austin and recognizing the gutsy performance Austin put on. 

Curry lost his cool tonight while LeBron put on a clinic. 

Curry's turn occurred with 4:22 remaining in the game when Curry was slapped with his 6th foul of the game and he wasn't happy about it at all. 

Curry tossed his mouth piece into the stands, hitting a fan sitting court side, and earned himself a technical foul and an automatic ejection.

Supporting the heel turn was Ayesha Curry, Steph's wife. Ayesha ripped the refs and accused the NBA of being rigged in a now deleted tweet. 

While this was happening, LeBron turned face by putting up 41 points and aggressively rejecting a Curry shot. 

Get your popcorn ready for Game 7.
