DELAYBARO NOTES
• Steph Curry is nearing Top 10 All-Time - if he isn’t already there... + DYNASTY STATUS
With 4 NBA championships under his belt, Steph Curry’s ascension into the upper echelon of the most elite talent to ever play is past complete. He became only the 7th player in league history to win multiple MVPs & and at least four titles - and to top if off, he finally captured the Finals MVP trophy that’s eluded him in his previous three trips.
While Steph’s accolades continue to pile up, so is his focus - he absolutely dominated the league’s #1 defense that tried to create a gameplan geared to slow him down - instead, it truly does look like a continuation of his prime years: more dagger threes & more titles.
FOUR TITLES IN 7 YEARS = DYNASTY
The 2021-22 Dubs is a roster with a great mix of familiar faces & up & coming talent. Led by the “undefeated-in-the-Finals (when healthy)”, battle-tested core of Steph, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Steve Kerr & Andre Iguodala, they’re set up to legitimately contend (or win) a lot more gold in the near future.
• Andrew Wiggins, Gary Payton II, Kevon Looney & Jordan Poole are all CERTIFIED.
All-Star A. Wiggins made a HUGE splash in the 2022 Finals: co-starring w/ aggressive play offensively (avg. 18.3 ppg) while leading the way as the primary/best defender on superstar Jayson Tatum and the rest of the C’s.
GPII returning in the Finals after suffering an elbow fracture in the Semfinals (v. MEM) was a tremendous jolt that sparked some of GSW’s best defensive efforts of the season. His energy is infectious and he plays 100% unselfish, (practically) mistake-free ball. His journey, not only as the son of NBA great Gary Payton but also as an undrafted prospect, has been incredible thus far - his status as GSW’s X-Factor should be locked down for years to come.
Kevon Looney is the unsung hero of Golden State’s entire 2022 postseason run. He played incredible at the five: checked all different types of matchups, created opportunities for teammates with screens and tapping out rebounds & controlled the glass.
After spending a portion of the season in the G League last season, Jordan Poole is on the map. He played great in his roles the entire year: split time as an efficient, high-scoring starting shooting guard to before Klay’s return and later ended up as a dependable, instant-offense super sub in the last stretch of the season & playoffs, culminating with an important, 15-point performance that helped clinch GSW’s 7th title.
