Stephen Curry has led the Golden State Warriors to the NBA Finals six times. Tonight was the first game of their sixth appearance. In the Warriors’ previous five Finals trips, they won three championships. None of those times did Stephen Curry win the Finals MVP award. As a result, Stephen Curry has faced a lot of criticism from those who argue against his legacy. Often, Curry is criticized for not being a Finals MVP, and for his production being below average in the Finals.
