VIDEOS: Contact doesn't phase Cavs' Dellavedova, nails off-balance floater

David Richard-USA TODAY Sports

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Matthew Dellavedova is the toughest 6-foot-4 Australian the NBA has ever seen.

To be fair, he's the only 6-foot-4 Australian the NBA has ever seen, but the sentiment is still valid.

The 24-year-old is using the grand stage of the NBA Finals to make himself a household name. His pesky defense on Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry and his hard-nosed work ethic have made him one of the finals' most endearing figures - unless you're rooting for the Western Conference champions.

With Curry tightly defending his drive, Dellavedova tosses up a prayer and nails it in the face of the NBA Most Valuable Player, picking up a foul in the process.

You think the ball is out of reach? Dellavedova thinks otherwise. It's time to hit the floor, folks.
