The Golden State Warriors win fourth NBA title in eight years, defeating the Boston Celtics in six games
Placeholder while article actions load
Curry, who finished with 34 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists in the closeout victory, claimed his first Finals MVP. There was little debate over Curry’s selection, given that his 43-point masterpiece in Game 4 flipped the series in Golden State’s favor for good. Curry’s commitment to the Warriors never wavered during their brief fall from grace, but he sustained a serious hand injury that sidelined him for all but five games of the 2019-20 season. While Curry, who turned 34 in March, remained an all-NBA caliber player, it was reasonable to wonder whether the Warriors could reassemble a winner around him before he faded out of his prime.
James and Curry have jockeyed to be the face of the NBA over the past decade, and now both future Hall of Famers have four rings. What’s more, Curry has now won a title before, during and after his partnership with Durant, an accomplishment that recalls San Antonio Spurs legend Tim Duncan’s ability to win across multiple eras and with different supporting casts.
Fostering that collective success has long been Curry’s sole focus, and his ability to adapt to the talents of those around him has been a signature skill throughout Golden State’s title years. Curry’s three-point shooting began to change the sport in 2015, and it looked in recent years like the rest of the NBA might have caught up with the Warriors.
