Stephen Curry is the first guard to win Finals MVP since Kobe Bryant in 2010.
Only guard in the league who can be the best player on a championship team and he’s 6-2.
Give that man his respect!! 🐐

Stephen Curry 2 MVPs, a Finals MVP, 4 titles, 2x scoring champ. All-time 3-point leader. Highest Playoff Win % of any MVP in NBA history. Just averaged 30 PPG in the Finals at age 34. Yesterday’s Top-10 discussion will seem quaint when he’s done. – 11:35 PM
