Congratulations to Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors. They won the 2021-22 NBA championship on the same date as they won their first with Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, in 2015. That year they also came back from a 2-1 deficit to win in six games. In between they won two more championships for a total of 4 in 8 years. But the road back wasn't easy. Two years ago, when Thompson and Curry had season-ending injuries, they had the worst record in the NBA. Even this year, Thompson, Green and Curry were out with injuries at one time or another, so the team was not whole until the very end of the season and in the playoffs.
Curry had quite a year: he broke numerous career and playoff records, including the most 3-point baskets in NBA history, and he was named the Most Valuable Player for the All-Star Game, the Western Conference Finals, and the NBA Finals. In his spare time he finished a thesis to earn his college degree. The Golden State Warriors under coach Steve Kerr have established an exemplary culture--one of mutual support, social responsibility and mentorship in which players thrive, and one which they don't want to leave.
