Good lawd…who comes off an injury and does that? Steph Curry does, that’s who.
An unreal, epic performance, reinforcing the notion that we’re witnessing something really special with this guy.
At one point, the usually-humble Curry had to flex on the league, letting them know, “I’m back.”
The craziest part about Steph’s performance is he was originally scheduled to only play 25 minutes off the bench. However, when Warriors point guard Shaun Livingston was ejected for arguing a call in the second quarter, it forced Curry to log more minutes…and the back-to-back MVP relished in the situation, using it to prove he’s back to his normal lights-out-shooting self, showing no ill effects from his injury.
The 17 points he dropped in OT will go down in NBA lore as something of legend status. In fact, there are already folks comparing it to Michael Jordan’s iconic flu game during the pivotal Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals.
Curry’s not Mike…but he is the greatest shooter the league has ever seen, as showcased once again Monday night.
“I love this game, I love playing and love competing. And really, really missed being out there with my teammates,” Curry told ESPN. “To help our team get a win tonight and in that fashion, that was a good feeling in that moment to be back on the floor and playing.”
Curry’s Warriors can close out their second-round series with the Trail Blazers on Wednesday night.
Congrats to the back-to-back MVP.
And Chef Curry’s growing legend just keeps adding chapters.
