Australian guard Dellavedova of the Cleveland Cavaliers has been a disruptive force on the offensive and defensive ends of the floor during the 2015 NBA Finals.

A 24-year-old guard from Maryborough, Victoria in Australia, Dellavedova has emerged as a solid side-kick to Cavaliers captain LeBron James during the 2015 NBA Playoffs.

Dellavedova (center, under pile) is known for his scrappy style of play, which has drawn criticism from opponents. He is shown fighting for a loose ball in the fourth quarter during Game 3 of the 2015 NBA Finals at Quicken Loans Arena on June 9, 2015 in Cleveland, Ohio.

Dellavedova has made a name for himself in the NBA Finals defending against MVP Stephen Curry (#30) of the Golden State Warriors.

LeBron James has had to lift his game, in the absence of injured Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, scoring a record 123 points in the first three games of the 2015 NBA Finals.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward James celebrates after end of the overtime period of Game 2 of basketball's NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors in Oakland, Calif., Sunday, June 7. The Cavaliers won 95-93 in overtime.
