2022 Golden State’s 8th: Curry Finally Takes FMVP

In 2022, Stephen Curry finally got the Finals MVP that eluded him. He led the Golden State Warriors back to the top in 2021-22, beating Boston 4-2 in the Finals for the franchise’s 8th championship.

Curry had won three titles before (2015, 2017, 2018), but the FMVP went to Iguodala and Durant. This time, with steady scoring and clutch plays, he was the uncontested Finals MVP—completing the last missing piece of his resume.

The title also announced the "small-ball dynasty’s" strong return after two down years. Curry’s threes silenced the doubters.

When Curry dropped to his knees in tears, clutching the trophy, an era’s obsession finally landed.
