Steph Curry Picks Between 2022 Championship, Two With Kevin Durant

The four-time NBA champion didn’t hesitate much when asked to choose between the two options.
In this story:

Four-time NBA champion Stephen Curry recently sat down with Sports Illustrated’s Ashley Nicole Moss to play a game of “This or That.”

At one point in the game, Moss asked the Warriors star whether he agreed with his teammate Draymond Green stating that this year’s title meant the most out of all four titles because of the hard work it took them to reach that point. Curry agreed with his teammate, even noting that he wouldn’t “ugly cry” on the court if the win didn’t mean that much to him.

So, to mix things up, Moss then asked Curry if he would rather keep this year’s title or the two he won while Kevin Durant played for Golden State in 2017 and ‘18. 

“No, I want this one,” Curry said without hesitation. “No, give me this one, all day everyday.”

That’s saying something about just how meaningful this year’s ring meant to Curry since trading in the two with Durant would mean Curry would only have two titles instead of four.

This isn’t the first time Curry has debated trading the ’17 and ’18 titles. When speaking with Green in April, before the Warriors won this year’s title, Curry was asked whether he would rather have won the ’16 finals, the year that the Warriors had the best regular season record in NBA history but didn’t win the championship.

The 34-year-old didn’t give a straight answer that time. He ended up saying he still laughs at the 2016 situation.
