NBA Finals: Stephen Curry's fourth NBA Finals places him in even more rare historical perspective. He's still not finished.

Curry joins the likes of LeBron James, Shaquille O'Neal in his fourth Ring

I'm not sure where I stand with regards to the whole culture of ring. The championships aren't just won by one individual. They are true organizational triumphs They can also be extremely circumstantial. But, Stephen Curry getting his 4th NBA championship, which tied with players like LeBron James and Shaquille O'Neal, on a Thursday night is incredibly significant.

Curry's four points are higher than Larry Bird and Dwyane Wade and is one less than Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson and Tim Duncan. Don't bother with all the "he was desperate for Kevin Durant" storylines in the trash and put them where they belong. First off, Curry won a title prior to Durant and has won another one following him. Apart from that, LeBron required Wade as well as Chris Bosh, and then Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love, then Anthony Davis. Shaq required Kobe as well as Wade, Magic needed Kareem. This is how it works especially when you consider the wealth of talent available in the current NBA. It's not a solo endeavor.

However, Curry has always been the center of attention in the Warriors hurricane that has ripped through the NBA in the last eight years. He's the one who defenses are most afraid of and they guard accordingly. He's the one who keeps everyone inside the locker rooms, the kind player who isn't a ball player and allows others to shine. You've heard Steve Kerr talk about Curry as the smaller variant that of Tim Duncan, and he's right. The rare superstar mix of humility and arrogance confidence in his abilities that can, according to what Steve Kerr told Scott Van Pelt after winning, "makes everyone in the team wish to fight for him."

"Without his involvement the owner, nothing would happen," Kerr said. "And it's not negating Joe and Peter's ownership because they're phenomenal owners. They've created an amazing organization. Bob Myers, hell of an GM. Our players. We've had many fantastic players. However, Steph is at the heart of why this streak has occurred. Similar to Timmy Duncan from San Antonio. I'm glad for everyone and especially Steph. For my mind, it's the most significant achievement in what has already been an amazing career."

I am in agreement with Kerr. There's something else and more definitive about this particular title. The Warriors team wasn't great. Klay Thompson deserves a lot of praise for the way he came back to the team and contributed huge time to winning his fourth title, however this isn't the player who everyone remembers prior to the injuries. He's not the same as Draymond Green who at half-time of the series was beginning to look like a threat. Andrew Wiggins was in the top tier of Golden State's second-best athlete.

As Kerr mentioned, credit must go to Myers for taking all the appropriate roster strings and not pulling the other ones which many believed they should have pulled. A number of players who played to fulfill their duties. But Curry's role was simply. Curry is named his first Finals MVP with a score of 31.2 points with six rebounds, five assists, and two steals in 48-44 splits in shooting (that 3 percent is among the most in Finals history, with more than 50 shots) with one of the most impressive defenses we've seen in a long while perhaps ever. However when asked about this particular honor, he wasn't any interest in talking about himself.

"Forget the question. What is the reason you started with this question?" Curry responded when asked about how it felt to take his Finals MVP from his chest. "We've had four championships. God is awesome. The opportunity to stand in this position and be able to play with incredible teammates against a fantastic Boston Celtics team that gave us everything we needed to strive to reach the end of the road.

"This one has a different feel certainties, being aware of what the past three years have been like and what's been the experience with injuries, changing the guard on the rosters Wiggs getting his chance Our young players with the confidence that they could return to the stage we're in and win however, it may not seem to make sense to anyone at the time All that matters is.

"And now we have four championships. I, Dray, Klay, and Andre We finally got the best of the best. It's special. It's special. It's all the hard work that was put into it the belief and faith and everyone in that locker room getting to spray champagne all over in the locker rooms, everyone was involved in the process. Therefore, I'm very proud of everyone."

Indeed, Curry is never going to praise himself. This is the reason his team is there to do. Andre Iguodala said this title confirms Curry as the best point guard in history. Draymond declared Curry "absolutely incredible."

The following day, Curry scored 34 points with seven assists and seven rebounding, while hitting six three-pointers. He's one of the few players to ever in NBA history to hit minimum five three-pointers over the course of five games in the Finals in a single series. He's also among only five players to have won multiple MVPs in the regular season, as well as multiple scoring titles , and Finals MVP. He's only the third guard in the history of basketball to score at minimum 30 points in two different Finals. There's a lot of room on our resumes, and it's becoming a challenge to avoid being part of an great conversation of the past.

The eight-year streak Curry is currently in is one you will not see again during your lifetime. LeBron had to wait 9 years to get his third championship to win his third. Shaq required seven. Should Kevin Durant doesn't go down in 2019, and if Draymond Green doesn't end up suspended in the year 2016, Curry most likely has at the very the very least five titles over the next eight years. And very likely six. He could also have an unprecedented 73 wins also on the table.

Curry is, simply one of the best bets on championship chances that's ever been made. This is what makes the best players. You require a fantastic team, and you'll need a few circumstances to go your way in order to be able to win the entire thing. But it's those who keep their teams on the brink every year that will be remembered as the best. Give Curry an impressive roster and he's going to go far.

The thing is, he's still not completed. Did you see the Finals? Did it look like someone who's near a significant decline? I'll admit it, I've believed at least one occasion it was the first sign of of Curry's career as he struggled through the most difficult shot-making season of his life but he was a revelation during the playoffs. Boston dropping coverage throughout the game was a welcome boost, but man, did he look amazing. Fast. Strong. Confident. The video game footage returned to their normal routine. His commitment to defense to the extent that his size and capabilities allow, is inspirational. His strength and conditioning is awe-inspiring.

Curry is now 34 and one has to wonder whether he has another five LeBron-like years left as aging doesn't seem to have the impact on the majority of players. Curry cares for his body the same manner as LeBron and his shooting will be awe-inspiring beyond words for the duration of time the game he's playing.

Give Thompson a healthy, full offseason to re-discover the same two-way play we only witnessed in short the last few games of the season. It's time to give Jordan Poole another year and you could be too far from being an All-Star. Green remains a formidable player and will not be an offensive threat like he did during the majority of this series, because there aren't many teams likely to defend Curry in the same way that the Celtics did. Green's playing skills will return. Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody are expected to join the team. James Wiseman could be one of them, too. Wiggins is now a solid part of the current ecosystem. Kevon Looney is a blessing. Gary Payton II is a real possibility. Vegas already features the Warriors named as the championship favourite for next season.

Don't think about Myers doing a huge deal that could make the team better. He's been adamant about it to date, but maybe this is because the perfect deal hasn't been offered. Myers believed that for as when the Warriors were led by Curry they would have the potential to be able to claim another championship without risking the future and he was absolutely right. However, the assets are present and Myers has proved that his ability to work with the assets, either way.

That's the end of the road. This is the perfect moment to look back on not just one of the most outstanding, and progressively more accomplished basketball players the has ever seen and also an individual who is distinctive. There's a good chance that you're not going to ever see an identical Steph Curry. The way he plays is not his style. He is not the way he conducts himself. He's truly one-of-a-kind. The guy who was essentially never was ever a part of, who was recruited by the rotten and long-running organization and almost lost his entire career to ankles made of tissue paper before the game even began and turned the game completely upside down in just 10 years. If I hadn't watched nearly every second of it in my own way I'd be unable to believe that it was happening.
