Should Curry have learned to win in the finals by losing until he gained the "street hunger" to transcend nerves and become the undaunted ass assin that he should have become by now?

Or would the Warriors be in the exact situation, yet ringless, without KD?


Inquiring minds would like to know.

He didn’t suffer from nerves. Look in 2015, his first NBA Finals, he killed it. He averaged over 10 points per 4th quarter and put up great stats even while facing aggressive double teams and very physical defense. In 2016 he played a bit worse but it wasn’t due to nerves or choking. He had a major knee injury in the first round of the playoffs and came back in less than a month. He didn’t have the explosiveness and change of direction he usually has. He couldn’t break down Steve Adams off the dribble in the WCF and had trouble shaking Kevin Love in the Finals. This wasn’t nerves or choking, he was injured. He was great in both 2017 and 2018 Finals. The whole Curry gets scared in the Finals is a flat out false narrative.

He absolutely choked in the 4th in Game 7. Legitimate WOAT level quarter

Curry was 0/8 in go-ahead shots during every last 20 seconds of the game.

Nah 2011 was the biggest choke. And Curry tore his MCL earlier in the playoffs.

No. Curry would never have won another ring if not for KD.

Curry elevated KD. Any other opinion is troll.
