After a long hard battle Lebron James could do nothing more but extend a conceding hand and congratulate Stephen Curry.
The team that was revived by Curry, their un-guardable, fresh-faced shooting superstar, and bonded by first-year coach Steve Kerr who made them believe, ended a 40-year NBA championship drought on Tuesday night by finishing off James and the Cleveland Cavaliers 105-97 in Game 6.
Curry and finals MVP Andre Iguodala scored 25 points apiece and Draymond Green had a triple-double. Curry had this to say about their major win:
“I’m kind of speechless. This is special. To be able to hold this trophy and all the hard work we’ve put into it this season, this is special. We’re definitely a great team and a team that should go down in history as one of the best teams from top to bottom.”
While Golden State’s drought ended, Cleveland’s half-century of sports misery continues with the city’s three pro teams the Cavs, Browns and Indians going a combined 144 seasons without one of them winning it all. James definitely gave his best by finishing with 32 points, 18 rebounds and nine assists and was dominant throughout the series, showing why he’s the world’s best player.
James shared his disappointment by saying:
“It doesn’t matter if I’m playing in Miami or playing in Cleveland or playing on Mars. You lose in the finals, it’s disappointing.”
The Warriors finished with 83 wins, the third-highest single-season total in history. Only the 1995-96 and 1996-97 Bulls won more, and Kerr was on both of those teams. Tuesday night made Curry, the team’s first MVP since Wilt Chamberlain.
At the end of the day the Warriors were simply the better team.
