NBA Finals MVP Ladder: Stephen Curry finishes at top as Warriors ... (NBA.com)

Golden State's superstar puts in another memorable performance in series-clinching win to secure the 1st Finals MVP of his Hall of Fame career.

Green, Curry, and Thompson have now tied Earvin “Magic” Johnson, Byron Scott, and James Worthy for the third-most postseason wins by a trio (93) since 1976-77. “I just know how hard this is, and to be here for a fourth time, [I’m] so grateful for my teammates.” Curry has poured in at least 30 points in 51 career postseason outings to become just the 11th player to accomplish that feat. “I was feeling just so high on life that I did not want to leave the stage,” Thompson said. The point guard has scored 30 points or more in 14 career Finals contests. “We did it to ourselves. “They won and we lost,” Brown said after the game. Now, when they have something to say, they have to say I’m a world champion, too.” Interestingly, the booing subsided quickly into scattered chatter, as “MVP” chants gradually broke out in pockets around TD Garden from the Warriors fans clad in yellow and blue shirts sprinkled into a sea of green that engulfed the arena. Minutes later, the time arrived for Curry to receive his latest hardware. But it’s been really hard for me to think that’s actually been held against him.” So, it’s great to check that box for him.

Stephen Curry delivers a 'crowing achievement' as NBA Finals MVP (San Francisco Chronicle)

The Boston Celtics took Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry out of Game 6 early, but Curry's resolve resulted in an NBA Finals masterpiece.

He gave the sad crowd the “Put a ring on this finger” gesture, then went to his patented “Goodnight” hand gesture. It takes a fabulous memory to recall when Curry didn’t want to be a Warrior, when he refused to work out for the team before the draft. And then, when it was over, the world’s coolest dude turned into a big crybaby. He pulled the whole organization up into the stratosphere, then he was the wind beneath the team’s wings. Along the way he decided to make himself the best-conditioned athlete in the league, and the sport’s No. 1 role model. This is the guy who went into a mysterious shooting slump over the second half of the season. “He never shows too much emotion, he absorbs what’s happening on the floor, kind of deciphers it and figures out ways to attack it. “He just absorbs it,” head coach Steve Kerr said before the game, when asked how Curry reacts to a stifling defense. He was voted the Finals MVP, of course. With five minutes left in the quarter Curry finally got off a 3, but it was well-guarded and wild. The Warriors had climbed out of a 14-2 hole to lead by 15. They went at him with the league’s Defensive Player of the Year, Marcus Smart, and a hard-eyed posse.

No stopping Steph: Curry's unrelenting drive finally yields Finals MVP (NBC Sports)

Stephen Curry had about as private of a moment as a Finals MVP can have in the immediate aftermath of winning a championship.

“Forget that!” Curry said. For the better part of a decade, he has taken on every responsibility necessary to achieve massive team and individual success. The narrative that small guards can’t dominate at this level is extinguished. And he’s still coming. “We champs! Curry sets such a great tone with his competitiveness and selflessness. It is the fundamental aspect of basketball. (As Curry said, Bill Russell, whose titles predated the award, would’ve won more than a few.) Never mind that Curry has a long track record of playoff excellence. Stephen Curry had about as private of a moment as a Finals MVP can have in the immediate aftermath of winning a championship. He’s the best shooter of all-time. “This is different,” Curry said.

Steph Curry changed how basketball is played and his triumph in capturing an elusive distinction in the NBA proves he's a generational talent.

The answer to that will probably change in the coming years as his NBA journey is still at its peak. Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Michael Jordan are the only other players in NBA history to match or exceed those benchmarks of greatness. Curry helped the Warriors capture their fourth title in eight years.

Finals MVP Curry is far more than a great shooter (The Globe and Mail)

NBA Finals MVP Steph Curry deserves to be considered one of best players in history.

The fourth parade is Monday. The fourth ring comes this fall. “This is what it’s all about.” They had three titles and five finals trips in five years from 2015 through 2019, then injuries and roster changes sent them to the bottom of the NBA in 2020 and on the outside of the playoff picture last year. When last season ended with a loss in the play-in tournament, Curry went right back to work, with this title in mind, knowing that few so-called experts thought the Warriors had a chance of extending their dynasty. And his legend on the court only continues to grow. “To me, this is his crowning achievement in what’s already been an incredible career.” Nobody in the history of basketball has made more three-pointers or made the art of throwing a ball through a hoop look easier than Curry does. Curry’s spot in the Basketball Hall of Fame was locked up long before Thursday night, when he scored 34 points and the Warriors won their fourth title in eight years by topping the Boston Celtics 103-90. Add that to the list, too. What a series.” Go ahead, put him in the Greatest Of All Time conversation. Thing is, Wardell Stephen Curry II is not just the greatest shooter ever.
