Four N.B.A. championships. Two Most Valuable Player Awards. And yes, a finals M.V.P. Golden State's Curry has nothing else to prove.
The second was that he had not been named a finals M.V.P. Standing alone at midcourt, Curry seemed to be laughing and crying at the same time, a euphoric mix of feelings. The first was that he had neither helped his team win a title without Kevin Durant nor defeated a finals opponent who was at full strength. Curry missed the final 12 games of the regular season with a sprained left foot, then aggravated the injury in Game 3 of the finals. He chomped on a victory cigar as he held his finals M.V.P. trophy aloft, pushing it skyward once, twice, three times. All he did in Game 4 was score 43 points to help Golden State even the series at two games apiece. The way he stretches the court with his interplanetary shooting. The Warriors scuffled through a slow rebuild. BOSTON — A few seconds remained in Stephen Curry’s N.B.A. season when he spotted his father, Dell, sitting along one of the baselines. He also recalled the exact moment he started preparing for the start of this season — 371 days ago. “Everybody wants to shoot 3s, and I’m like: ‘Man, you got to work a little harder to shoot like him. For the series, Curry averaged 31.2 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists while shooting 48.2 percent from the field and 43.7 percent from 3-point range.

Steph Curry kept receipts from all of his haters.
The "Ayesha Curry can't cook" comments weren't the only dig that Steph Curry helped to turn around and fire back at Celtics fans. Curry strongly disagreed that the Warriors' victory was a "checkbook win." "Like, yeah, because it starts with the core group of champions and bona fide winners and the belief that we can run it back. Windhorst was discussing the Warriors' choice to keep Andrew Wiggins after acquiring him in the D'Angelo Russell deal and how that impacted the team. "I heard somebody talking about some ... was it, 'checkbook wins' and all this other stuff," Curry said after the game. "The fact that when we started this season, the conversations about who we were as a team and what we were capable of, clearly remember some experts and talking heads putting up the big zero of how many championships we would have going forward because of everything that we went through," Curry said.
