NBA superstar point guard Stephen Curry is on cloud nine right now. He led the Golden State Warriors to their fourth title in eight years. And in the process won his first-ever NBA Finals MVP. This title has definitely cemented Steph’s legacy as one of the all-time greats of the game of basketball.

Steph averaged more than thirty points a game to lead the Warriors to title victory. He was the only major offensive contributor throughout the playoffs for the Warriors as he carried the Warrior’s offense on his back. While on the court, things couldn’t have been better for Curry, things off the court have been going a little differently for him.

The 2022 NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and the Boston Celtics didn’t disappoint the fans. The Warriors won the title 4-2. Both the teams couldn’t have taken a different approach to reach the Finals. While Boston went through multiple seven games series against the Miami Heat and the Milwaukee Bucks, the Warriors’ longest playoff series lasted only six games, that too against the Memphis Grizzlies in the Western Conference Semi-Finals.

The Celtics would take an early 2-1  lead before the Warriors roared back to win three straight. Failing behind didn’t demoralize the Warriors. Instead, they used their experience to mount a comeback. They would win two of the last three games in Boston to clinch the franchise’s seventh NBA Championship.
