8 Years After Breaking LeBron James’ Heart, 4x NBA Champion Bends the Knee to Stephen Curry: “Don’t Need Anyone to Tell Me That..”

The NBA final in 2015 was one for the books. LeBron James and Stephen Curry, two of the game’s best players, were poised for an epic showdown. That year’s NBA Finals featured more than just the Golden State Warriors vs. Cleveland Cavaliers matchup.? This is especially important since LeBron James just made his comeback to the Cavaliers, giving them a boost.

Unfortunately, even though he a poised to make a grand return and bag a championship ring, he could not do so. And no, eight years after the heartbreak, 4x NBA Champion bent the knee to Stephen Curry with his admission.

4x NBA Champion bags the coveted MVP award

Andre Iguodala’s clutch efforts devastated LeBron James. He helplessly watched the Finals MVP award slide through his fingers and into the hands of the Warriors‘ defensive specialist. In a six-game series against the Cavaliers, the Warriors prevailed. However, the true drama took place in the competition for the coveted Finals MVP award. Many anticipated that Steph Curry would receive the honor as he had successfully guided his team to victory.

Curry displayed his unmatched skills throughout the entire series, averaging 26.0 points per game (PPG), 6.3 assists per game (APG), and 5.2 rebounds per game (RPG). As he altered the outcome of the game with his electric three-point shots and excellent court vision, both observers and fans expected him to win Finals MVP.

However, it was Andre Iguodala that bagged the coveted MVP award.

Iguodala went above and above the call of duty in guarding LeBron James, a difficult position to be in. His defensive skills, timely steal, and game-changing plays were crucial in preventing the Cavaliers from using their offensive schemes. They helped the Warriors secure important victories.

A large statistical difference between him and Curry marked his MVP selection. Iguodala’s 16.3 PPG, 5.8 RPG, and 4.0 APG averages were great by many accounts, but they were insignificant in comparison to Curry’s prolific production.

Iguodala’s selection as MVP sparked spirited discussions and controversy.? Many claimed that Curry’s steady brilliance throughout the series merited the honor. Fans questioned the Finals MVP selection criteria as a result of this.

However, most recently, Iguodala came clean with his admission.

Iguodala said, “I always say Steph did deserve [a Finals MVP] before the one he got. I did think he deserved one. So I always say if it was mine, cool. I know the impact I had on the game, I don’t need anyone to tell me that I did. I?m cool with that because my whole career was based on that… So I say all of that to say, man, I don?t even care. Yeah, Steph should have had mine. I don’t really care. I think Steph should’ve had it.”

The Warriors franchise underwent a significant change after winning their first championship in 40 years in the 2015 NBA Finals. Following their victory in 2015, the team also won rings in 2017, 2018, and 2022. And as for Curry, he hasn’t responded to the comment yet.
