Golden State Warriors crowned NBA champions as Steph Curry shines again

Stephen Curry was reduced to tears as he starred for the Golden State Warriors to inspire them to beat the Boston Celtics 103-90 in Game 6 of the 2022 NBA Finals.

Curry returned to form in style after a disappointing Game 5 performance to lead the Warriors to a fourth championship in eight years. While it was a team effort with the likes of Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins and Klay Thompson each contributing, Curry was undoubtedly the star of the show with 34 points, seven rebounds and seven assists to go with two steals and a block as the generational superstar was named Finals MVP for the first time in his illustrious career.

After titles in 2015, 2017 and 2018 saw Andre Iguodala and Kevin Durant (twice) win Finals MVP, Curry ensured he was not missing out on the accolade this time around. He was brilliant throughout the series, averaging 31.2 points per game while his iconic moment came in Game 4 - a mesmerising 43-point display to level the series at 2-2.
