Curry, 34, locked up Finals MVP honors after his fourth NBA title and six Finals appearances. His first ring came in 2015, but Andre Iguodala was the surprising MVP pick despite Curry (26.0) averaging nearly 10 more points a game in the series than him (16.3). Iguodala was largely credited for his stellar defense against LeBron James and clutch shooting during the championship run.
During the team’s back-to-back titles in both 2017 and ’18, Kevin Durant took home the award both years. But this time, no one outshined Curry.
