Stephen Curry already had three NBA championships sitting on his mantle heading into the 2022 Finals, but one piece of his legacy was missing: a Finals MVP.
While the 2017 and 2018 trophies went to Kevin Durant—and few would argue anyone else deserved it—the 2015 MVP given to Andre Iguodala stood out arguably as a mistake by the voters.
Curry told JJ Redick he never felt resentment toward Iguodala despite feeling he deserved the award.
"The question, 'Do I feel like I deserve it?' For sure. ... The power of the narrative, it can distract you from what the actual goal is," Curry said on The Old Man and the Three podcast (55:30 mark).
