Stephen Curry is the greatest shooter of all time, and there is no doubt that he is one of the best players that has ever played the game of basketball. He has won multiple MVPs and multiple championships, and there’s no doubt that Stephen Curry exemplifies greatness.
A recent statistic shared by Tom Haberstroh shows just how amazing Stephen Curry is on the highest stage. He has a 21-4 record in playoff series, which is better than greats like Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar:
Here's the crazy thing:
If you take out Steph's games with an NBA75 teammate (KD), Steph's Playoff Win% is 48-26 (.649), which is still better than Tim Duncan, Kobe Bryant and Larry Bird's career rate — with all their NBA75 teammates. https://t.co/VfgtfAZvY8

Stephen Curry has a good chance of winning another NBA championship this season, and perhaps this is the year we see him capture his first Finals MVP. He did manage to win the first-ever Western Conference Finals MVP award, however. There is no doubt that it would be amazing to see the award that has eluded him for so long, as he was a driving force behind the Golden State Warriors dynasty.
The Golden State Warriors have managed to bounce back this year after two subpar seasons. They are currently resting up for the Finals, and thus far, they have dominated the playoffs, with none of their series going to 7 games. While the team that comes out of the Eastern Conference may be a bigger challenge, it is clear that the Golden State Warriors are a team that is well-coached and highly proficient on both ends of the floor, and will be tough to beat in a 7 game series.
