Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry had a disappointing finish to this season’s campaign. The superstar faced his first ever playoff series loss outside of the NBA Finals series. Moreover, Chef’s early exit from the playoffs put his family in unfamiliar terrain, with Curry’s sister Sydel also reaching out to fans. However, a recent announcement brought smiles back on the family’s faces as the 4x NBA Champion added another award to his cabinet on Tuesday. 

Despite the Baby-faced Assassins’ consistent scoring spree, the Dubs succumbed to a 4-2 series loss against the Los Angeles Lakers in the semifinal. Moreover, the Dubs in the Steve Kerr era had two unfamiliar situations, unprecedented in their playoffs history: the Warriors went 2-0 down for the first time in round 1 and lost a playoff series apart from the Finals.
