Warriors win fourth NBA title in eight years

Stephen Curry swished a deep three-pointer midway through the third quarter, backpedaled down the court and allowed himself a quick indulgence.

As the Boston Celtics called a timeout to gather themselves, the Golden State Warriors star turned to the sideline and pointed at his right ring finger. There were 18 minutes left, but Curry was sure his fourth championship was already in hand.

The Warriors defeated the Boston Celtics, ­103-90, in Game 6 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night, completing an exhilarating comeback from a 2-1 series deficit to complete a 16-6 run through the playoffs to win their fourth title in eight years.

Curry, who finished with 34 points, seven rebounds and seven assists in the closeout victory, claimed his first Finals MVP award as a unanimous selection. There was no debate, given that his 43-point masterpiece in Game 4 flipped the series in Golden State’s favor.

Great run by the Warriors. And Curry was definitely deserving of his award.

This win should boost the celebrity value of Dawson Gurley, aka ‘Fake Klay Thompson”.

“Banned, b/c I walked past 5 layers of security guards (who willingly let me through security without asking for my ID) & shot around on the court for 10 minutes. I also spent 10K on tickets which they are not refunding. Why should Ibe banned because their security is incompetent?”

Wow, you are being EXTREMELY deceptive.

LeBron has been to the finals 10 times, and only won 4 times. (And he was lucky to get 4)

Okay, you are a LeBron fanboy, but please be honest.

Curry has as many championship as LeBrick now. Except he didn’t have to recruit mercenaries in order to stack the deck and change teams multiple times.

Stephen Curry is better than LeBitch.

Curry is great, but he and Klay were not as critical to this run by the Warriors.

Who cares?

The NBA needs to move their league headquarters to Shenzhen and their teams to every tier 1 and tier 2 city in China.

They’ve made their positions very clear. I would say what I am thinking, but Jim has earned us from using that kind of language in this site.

“Curry is great, but he and Klay were not as critical to this run by the Warriors.”

UH??

You’re saying someone other than Curry deserved the MVP? He carried the Warriors with his 43 points in game five and 34 points tonight.

Then they can witness first hand how “loved” they are in China.

Curry is the guy who doesn’t know how to pronounce his own name.

NBA is a bore. It’s all about throwing up 3 point shots. They need to move the 3 point line to make it more challenging. That said, the NBA is okay with alienating half of their potential fan base. Their money is in China. Okay. They can do what they want. They don’t need my money.

LeBitch ruined the game. I know he’s not the only guy but he is carrying the torch from Jordan/Bird/Magic Era.
