Warriors Star Gets Honest About 2016 NBA Finals
As a four-time NBA Champion and two-time NBA MVP, Curry does not have many blemishes on his career resume. But the one glaring failure on his record was when they blew a 3-1 lead in the 2016 NBA Finals.
Kyrie Irving and LeBron James spearheaded the historic Cleveland Cavaliers team that came back from a 3-1 deficit in the 2016 NBA Finals to beat Curry and the 73-9 Golden State Warriors, who were the defending NBA champions at the time. Although LeBron was named the Most Valuable Player of the Finals, Irving hit the biggest shot of the series, netting a go-ahead three over Curry, the reigning two-time NBA Most Valuable Player to seal the historic win for Cleveland and the only title of his career.
Curry called Irving and LeBron's performance in that NBA Finals the 'craziest' thing he's ever seen.
"What I'll say about that 3-1 situation is I've never seen two guys play at that level for three straight games! It was the craziest thing I've ever seen like Bron [James] and Kyrie [Irving] were just on. We played well, they just played better," Curry said to JJ Redick on a 2022 episode of his podcast, "Old Man and the Three".
"It was hard to watch and be in that vibe where you couldn't do anything about it. You can just tip your hat to somebody who outplayed you, and that's what they did for three straight games."
