After a two-year hiatus, Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors are back in the NBA Finals.
It's not exactly a place foreign to them, given that the Warriors have made it there in five of the previous seven NBA campaigns. Now entering his sixth NBA Finals, Stephen Curry now joins Michael Jordan with six appearances in their first 13 seasons.

Obviously, it's a feat that not just Curry achieved alone. Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Andre Iguodala were on all those Warriors teams as well. But Stephen Curry was the face and primary firepower that was constantly there for all of those runs.
Golden State also cements is dynasty status now that they've made the NBA Finals in six seasons out of an eight-year span. That feat was last done by none other than Michael Jordan's Bulls teams and has only been replicated by the Lakers and Celtics, the two most storied franchises in league history.
The Warriors are the first franchise to reach the NBA Finals 6 times in an 8-season span since the Jordan-Pippen Bulls from 1991-98.

Stephen Curry continues to pad his resume among the game's all-time greats. But nothing would do that more than winning another ring.
The job is far from finished as the Warriors still remain four wins away from raising their fourth championship banner of this era.
