He's been absolutely tremendous and is exactly the kind of high-industry, low-flare player that the Warriors could use right about now (presuming that player wasn't earning $16.4 million AAV).

I'm glad his millions R going toward that headpiece.

I still do not understand the crying Michael Jordan meme.

This is almost as good as when the '07 Patriots lost to keep the Bears' modern NFL record alive.

'Niners, too, sure. But we all know that Bears squad was 1a.

Feel good dad bait if I ever seen it, shit.

This has been my desktop image 4 a couple of years now, lol.

I think Russ in the series prior and Lebron in the Finals gave a template 4 the rest of the league on beating GSW next year.

Just have a player that is twice the man as Steph and that dude wilts like a dandelion because clearly cannot deal with that.

The template is and has 4 some time been even simpler than that: make Curry actually play basketball (a two-way game) instead of just letting him jack up awful shots and stand around.  He can make those awful shots more than anybody in history, which is beyond incredible.  I think he's the best shooter I've ever seen and still think that he's uber elite even* while half-assing his way through most games.  But they're still awful shots and he's still, strictly statistically, less likely to make them than to miss them.

Post Finals hot take: Steph Curry not good at basketball.

Worst player on the worst team in the history of any sport.

But seriously, most of his shortcomings R things he can work on and improve  He's already amazing and he can certainly get better and smarter.  Could be even scarier.

The playoffs turned on a wet spot in Houston

I'll never be the same
