Steph Curry is one of the best point guards in the league. Prior to winning his fourth championship, he already had a stacked resume. But there was still one thing that was missing from his trophy cabinet, a Finals MVP trophy. The two-time MVP finally got a chance to win the prestigious prize during the 2022 NBA Finals.

He showed his desire to win it right from the start as he scored 21 first-quarter points in Game 1 of the Finals. The Boston Celtics came into the series with a reputation for being the best defensive team in the league.

However, none of that was a problem for Steph Curry. He just kept making buckets after buckets to lead the way for the Warriors.

In the first three games, Curry scored 34,29 and 31 points respectively. He looked stellar, but the team was down 2-1. They needed something massive as losing Game 4 would more or less be an end to their hopes of winning a championship. Curry realized the importance of that and gave the Dubs a new life as he racked up 43 in Game 4 to level the series.

The eight-time All-Star had a bit of a dip in Game 5 as he scored only 16 points and failed to make a three-pointer. But his teammates stepped up to make sure the Dubs secured a 104-84 win to take a 3-2 series lead. Heading to TD Garden with a chance to close out the series, all eyes were once again on Steph Curry.

A lot of trash talk from the Celtics fans certainly proved to be a motivation. He came back strong after Game 5 to score 34 points in Game 6 and help the Dubs win the championship.

Even before the final buzzer, Steph was seen getting emotional. It clearly meant a lot to him as the journey to the fourth ring was a tough one.

Undoubtedly, he still has a lot left in his tank. The Warriors could continue to be a force in the league. But the 2022 championship will always be extra special for Curry and the entire Dub nation.
