Steph Curry needs to stop.
His statement that he would give up the two championships he won with Kevin Durant in exchange for the championship he won this past season was baloney.
In fact, 99 baloney cents. All day.
“You don’t find me ugly crying on the pitch for no reason,” Curry said in one SI.com interview. “That raw emotion that came after Game 6 signaled what this means for our team.
“First thing, you don’t really know what you’re doing until you’ve done it, and then you’re celebrating. The next two are the validation type, trying to be the champion. But after the last three years and that win, it’s certainly the most special. “
When asked to fill in the blank, would he rather take this latest ring or the two he won during Kevin Durant’s time?, Curry said, “NO, I want this. No, give me this, all day, every day. “

Ridiculous.
Curry should be on his knees, thanks KD for making him the player everyone sees him today.
It wouldn’t be people from afar to consider him a Top 10 player without the other two rings.
Let’s face it. Before Durant showed up in Oakland, Curry was the author of the biggest tackle in NBA history.
It was the Curry-led Warriors that strangled the 3-1 advantage in the NBA Finals over James and the Cavs. It was the first time a team had led 3-1 and lost the championship in the tournament’s history.
Somehow, Curry couldn’t win a single game for his team, a team that won an NBA record 73 games in the regular season, a team that has lost more than two games in a row all season. Did we mention Curry’s Warriors have lost 2 out of 3 consecutive home games, including game 7?
Oh, it left a bad odor for Curry.
That’s why he and Draymond Green begged Durant to come to the Golden State.
That way, they beat LeBron at his own game. James founded MySpace when he teamed up with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami. Steph added KD to Warriors. James succeeded and founded Facebook, a bigger and better Super Team.
Winning those consecutive titles with KD against LeBron is what propelled Curry to the forefront in the minds of many NBA fans.
Just winning their first title wasn’t enough as every team they faced that season suffered a major injury to one of their star players. Just creating three circuses from different area codes in the Bay Area is not enough.
Plus, Curry has never been hit by a clutch. Curry has made NINE hits to win the playoffs in his career, all of which missed.
ESPN even has a YouTube video that shows you his post-season shortcomings in clutch situations.
That’s why the fact that Curry won two championships giving him a total of four championships in his NBA career is completely ridiculous. If he has a personal relationship with KD, that’s one thing. Giving up two titles for one? No way, no way.
If Curry is truly honest and legitimate with his remarks, he should say, his win of the Finals MVP ultimately cemented his place in NBA lore.
Before this June, Curry had three titles and no MVP in the Finals. Worse still, KD goes to Golden State and takes away Curry’s team and milk money.
When the Warriors won consecutive titles with KD in the game, he was clearly the best player on the field. The Warriors led 8-1 when they beat the Cleveland Cavaliers led by LeBron James.
Curry knows deeply that he needs to win an NBA Finals MVP so people ignore the fact that he hasn’t been hit in the post-season and that Durant has eclipsed him on his team. .
Curry would NEVER say he would give up those two titles for the first. This is the classic pre-run. He feels strong now because many people – including Curry – think they will never win again and did so this past season against the Boston Celtics.
Sure, Curry should enjoy that championship, but never agree with the two things that made him a legend.
