Honorary mention: wearing goggles to the post-game conference and abandoning his MVP trophy.

Daryl Vergara Man willed the Raps through the star-studded 76ers. When they were down 0-2 against the Greek Freak Bucks, Kawhi willed the team to 4 straight wins. Now going into the finals, fresh off a 10-day break and sweeping the Blazers without KD people were calling for the warriors to bulldoze the Raps. And they still won. 2nd best shooter of all time Klay played 5/6 Games. 2x MVP Curry played all 6. DPOY Draymond played all 6. Best center in the league prior to injury Boogie played and claimed he himself was healthy. Just stop and give credit where it's due.

This loss does nothing to hinder stephs legacy and it doesn't matter since he isn't in the debate with jordan, lebron, magic, bird, kareem, wilt and russell. The reason we discuss this about lebron is because he is in that conversation. Jordan is still the goat and lebron is an all timer somewhere between second and fifth on that list depending on who you ask. Steph's legacy is that he is the best shooter to have ever lived. Hands down and no hold's barred.

Lmao, remember that first chip the warriors won? Steph was making UNREAL GW shots even that insane shot where he was fouled in the corner got up through a screen and made the shot after missing the first with three guy shoving him after the shot. Steph not being clutch is most over used non fact based take ever.

Kawhi did something else that LeBron and KD have never done. Beat a team in the finals whose 1st and 3rd best players (as well as 2 other role players) were injured throughout, and only beat them by 4 in a deciding game 6. I would say that's Jordanesque, but he wasn't really into that either.

Anyone who thinks this hurts Steph's legacy is insane. Dude carried the Warriors without Durant through a sweep of the WCF, dropped 47 and became the only guard besides Kobe, Jerry West and MJ to average 30/5/5 in a Finals despite facing constant double and even triple teams. He had the balls to take the last shot and if the law of averages plays out he'd hit it next time. In game 6 he was 3/8 on legit three's, keep in mind he had 3 full court heaves at end of quarters because he doesn't care about stats and cares more about the team. Smh to all the Curry haters.
