A unique year in NBA history is what Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry has had, who after the Golden State Warriors’ NBA Finals victory over the Boston Celtics has left a legacy even greater than the one he had already built.
All-time three-point shooting leader
It is worth remembering that at the beginning of the season he became the all-time leading scorer of three-point shots when he surpassed Ray Allen (2,973) last December 14, 2021 in an unforgettable night for the “Chef” at Madison Square Garden.
As if that were not enough, on February 20, 2022 in Cleveland, Ohio, in the NBA All-Star Game, he stole the show that was made for LeBron James, scoring 50 points and taking the MVP Trophy in a celebration of the NBA’s 75th anniversary.
An unforgettable playoffs
An injury a month before the end of the season just against the Celtics put clouds on the goal of achieving the championship, however, the “Chef” did not give up and returned to full strength for the NBA playoffs where he was simply unstoppable.
In the first round he defeated the Denver Nuggets, in the conference semifinals they overcame the Memphis Grizzlies and in the Western Finals they beat the Dallas Mavericks, crowning that process by becoming the first player in history to win the Magic Johnson Award as MVP of the Western Conference Finals.
His first Bill Russell Trophy arrived
The NBA Finals against the Celtics arrived and if there was one thing the “Chef” was missing, it was the recognition as Finals MVP, the Bill Russell Trophy, which he won for the first time in his celebrated career after completely dominating Boston in six games and adding his fourth NBA championship to his resume.
Stephen Curry’s legacy also includes two regular season MVPs, being a member of the 75th Anniversary team, now you have to wonder where he ranks among the best players in the sport.
Let the debate begin!
