Game: Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals vs. Cleveland
Line: 17 PTS, 5 TRB, 2 AST, 28.6 3P%
Offending stat: 4 for 14 from 3 in deciding game
Thanks to insane three-pointers, a likable personality, and a Drake lyric, Steph Curry absolutely exploded onto the scene in the 2013-2014 NBA season and hasn’t looked back. But the unanimous 2015-16 MVP absolutely let the Warriors down in the 2016 NBA Finals when he failed to deliver on the biggest stage. Curry scored a decent 17 points, but was 4 for 14 from beyond the arc. He’ll be remembered in this game for giving up the go-ahead three to Kyrie Irving and completely getting locked down by Kevin Love in the waning moments.
