“This one hits different for sure, just knowing what the last three years have meant, what it’s been like from injuries to changing of the guard in the rosters, Wiggs coming through, our young guys carrying the belief that we could get back to this stage and win, even if it didn’t make sense to anybody when we said it, all that stuff matters,” said Curry.

The win surely confirms Curry’s status as one of the greatest players of all time. He’s just one behind the great Kobe Bryant and two behind GOAT Michael Jordan. It would be interesting to see if, in the coming years, he can lead the Warriors to more NBA glory. Given his age, he can surely have a shot at matching Jordon’6 NBA Titles.
