I don't know if this gets enough attention. Curry lead a comeback from being down 3-1 against PRIME KD and PRIME Westbrook.

Curry balled out of this world in this series: 28-6-6-2 on 44/42/89 splits (beast)

In this series, OKC scored more overall points, turned the ball over less, and had better rebounding numbers. But that wasn't enough to stop the Dingo in his 30 point 50/40/90 season. He was determined to overcome a PRIME KD

Think about this, Curry came back down 3-1 and beat PRIME KD and PRIME Westbrook:

2016 WCF Stats

KD: 30-8-3-2-2
Westbrook: 26-7-11-4
Ibaka: 12-8
Adams: 10-9

Curry overcame all of this. What a G. Capped off the series with a game 7 performance of: 36-8-5 on 54%. Nothing could stop Curry that year.

Nothing short of a god king titan performance could stop him in his tracks in 2016. Think about that. Curry overcame all of that.

This is the greatest NBA performance of the past decade. Can anyone remember another instance of a team overcoming one with the 2 closest opposing MVPs on the same team?

Definitely the greatest WCF performance ever.

It was all because of game 6 klay ... I think...
