Delta Airlines Mistakenly Identifies the Warriors as 2016 NBA Champions

What's going on here?

On Sunday, the NBA's official Facebook page postedย a schedule for the Finals that featured the Golden State Warriors playing the Cleveland Cavaliers before the reigning champs advanced past the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals on Monday.

Of course, conspiracy theorists jumped on it.

Tuesday brought more fodder for believers that the league is rigged, as Delta Airlines mistakenly identified the Dubs as the 2016 champions, per a photo from ESPN.com's Dave McMenamin.

As a reminder, the Finals begin Thursday.

Upon closer inspection, the error fails to fuel the conspiracy fires. The title was for a documentary about Golden State's 2014-15 championship season. Just look under the team's logo on the left.

C'mon nowโ€”take those tinfoil hats off, everyone.
