The Golden State Warriors defeated the Boston Celtics in the 2022 NBA Finals. Stephen Curry took home the first Finals MVP award of his career. Along with champagne, he's bringing out some freezing cold takes to celebrate his most recent accomplishment.

There were lots of doubts surrounding the Warriors' ability to compete for titles after Klay Thompson's series of injuries and Curry missing almost all of the 2019-20 season. Many basketball fans questioned if Curry's best days were behind him. He and the Dubs then proved all the doubters wrong. At the postgame press conference, he focused his critique on a few particular detractors.

During the last offseason when Curry signed another lucrative contract extension with the Warriors, ESPN talking heads Kendrick Perkins and Domonique Foxworth boldly claimed that he would not be winning any more titles in the next four years. After immediately proving them wrong, Curry fired back.
