• Stephen Curry collapsed to the ground in tears as the Warriors won the championship.
  • Curry played heroically in the Finals, averaging over 30 points on greater than 40% three-point shooting.
  • The Warriors missed the past two postseasons with injuries, but made a triumphant return to the Finals this season.

Stephen Curry was overcome with emotion as the Golden State Warriors won the 2022 NBA championship.

It's a triumphant return to the mountaintop for the Warriors. After winning three championships from 2014-2019, Golden State missed the postseason entirely the past two years as injuries struck the team, including Curry, who broke his wrist and played just five games in the 2019-20 season. The Warriors finished the 2019-20 season with just 15 wins, posting the worst record in the league.

However, in the 2022 Finals, Curry played like a man possessed, averaging over 30 points per game, including a heroic 43 in Game 4, while shooting greater than 40% from three.

In the final minute of Game 6, as the Warriors led the Boston Celtics by double-digits, Curry paced the court, both laughing and holding back tears, shaking his head.

In the final seconds, Curry fell to the ground in heavy tears, as teammates mobbed him when the final buzzer sounded.

Later, Curry shouted, "We did it!" while celebrating with Bruce Fraser, the Warriors' assistant coach.

Curry was named Finals MVP for the first time in his career.
