Won First NBA Championship (2014–2015 NBA Season)

The 2014–2015 NBA season was a singular year for Curry and the Golden State Warriors. Everything fell into place for Curry as he led the team to its most regular season wins—67—in team history (at the time). Coincidentally, just as in 1975 (when the team won 59 games), winning their franchise high number of games led to an appearance in the NBA Finals. There they faced the Eastern Conference champion Cleveland Cavaliers (led by the return of LeBron James from the Miami Heat). Curry averaged 28.3 points in 21 playoff games (including 26.0 ppg in the six-game NBA Finals) and brought the championship trophy back to Oakland, California.

Curry did all he could to prevent the Warriors from having to face the LeBron James–led Cleveland Cavaliers in a Game 7 by scoring 25 points, dishing out eight assists, and pulling down six rebounds in a 105–97 Game 6 victory for the championship.
