Talking on JJ Reddick’s podcast, Curry talks about how he still regrets the loss. Curry said, “I’ve never seen two guys play at that level for three straight games. We played well, they just played better. It was hard to watch and be at that vibe where you couldn’t do anything about it.”

He further elaborated, “The whole season was insane to think about. All the experiences we had, the fact that we have a 73 and 9 banner in our facility but no NBA finals banner, still hurts. Thats part of the journey. Everytime I see Kyrie, every time I see Bron, there’s that respect.”

Interestingly enough, this happened to be Curry’s Unanimous MVP season. The Warriors won everything possible other than the NBA title that season.
