The Golden State Warriors are coming off another title run that saw many historic feats reached across the board.
One of which came from the individual play of All-Star guard Stephen Curry joining LeBron James and Michael Jordan for quite a rare feat, according to Basketball-Reference.
Multiple 30-pt, 10-ast games in one #NBAFinals, since 1984:
Jordan (1991, 1992)
LeBron (2015)
Stephen Curry (2017)https://t.co/pEacsok4Ue pic.twitter.com/fjlz7bSDK8— Basketball Reference (@bball_ref) June 13, 2017
Beyond the MVP-caliber performance from Kevin Durant, Curry proved to be nearly as valuable on the court averaging 26.8 points with 9.4 assists, and 8.0 rebounds per game. This includes recording a double-double in each game with his first career triple-double in the postseason.
Curry was particularly huge in the close-out game in the series dropping 34 points on 10-of-20 from the field with a game-high 10 assists and six rebounds. He also scored more than 20 points in all but one game and record 10 or more assists in four out of the five contests.
The fact that he joins Jordan and James for this historic mark only speaks to the high level of his production he had on the court. His performance alongside Durant helped the Warriors avenge last year's disappointing loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers while also silencing many doubters that came about from his personal struggles in the 2016 NBA Finals.
He is also just the ninth player in NBA history to have won multiple regular-season MVP awards and NBA titles joining the likes of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, LeBron James, Michael Jordan, and Magic Johnson.
