NBA Finals, Warriors-Celtics Game 6: Key stat, moment and more from Stephen Curry’s coronation

New York Times  

Who was the guy? That’s because of Curry’s play, his leadership and the inspiration he galvanizes throughout the construction of a roster and the belief of a team from the first minute of training camp through the final seconds of a closeout victory in the NBA Finals. The disappearance of Jayson Tatum in Game 6 coincided with one of the best individual defensive games of Andrew Wiggins’ career. Your Finals MVP: Steph Curry | 31.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 2.0 steals, 48.2-percent from the field, 43.7 percent from 3, 85.7 percent from the free-throw line The “isn’t it weird that Curry doesn’t have a Finals MVP despite having three championships?” crowd now gets to move its disingenuous goal posts to “isn’t it weird that Curry only has one Finals MVP despite having four championships?” for the time being. Many people categorize Curry as the greatest shooter of all time, but they fail to mention he’s one of the greatest scorers ever, ranking 12th in playoff points per game and 10th in NBA Finals scoring average.
