Alot when you factor in the other side of the ball. If you wanna be more specific and just say offensively than its alot less. It was a great offensive performance by steph.

Not many to be fair. LBJ, KD, TD, Magic, and I think Bakrley and Iverson and MJ. Less than 10

Curry is top 10 of all time points scored per game in the Finals. Even when seeing more doubles than any other player not named Michael Jordan.

Considering what he is capable of, Curry being fouled out of game 6 in 2016 on those garbage fouls taints that series as much as anything else.

Not that I'd bet on that happening against the Cavs with LeBron having arguably his best game ever

The Pelicans example was obvious. The question should be name me better players to lead a 12 point comeback with 4:22 left. There are no players in NBA history that can have as explosive an effect on a game when he goes on a run than Curry.

I loved how Curry missed every. single. shot. for 9/10 of the comeback and Klay, Dray, Barnes and Livingston saved him (again).

For real, they must've gotten 6 offensive rebounds those final 4 minutes of the game

Comparing a 3 point deficit to a 12 point deficit sounds legit

We'd need a full on missing person's search team to find him. This should be a good start:

Please try again baby boi :lol

If you heard the announcers they mentioned the Mavericks went on an 11 point run in less than 3 minutes—and that's before they won.

Imagine allowing a team to be able to go on double digit runs late in the 4th quarter against you twice in the same finals series! Curry couldn't have asked for a better superstar player to do it against but the refs robbed him of the opportunity!

This guy found an 8 minute comeback. Sheesh....

Even with that one, which was improbable, Kidd hits a 3 to cut it to 6 with 3:50 left, with Dallas already reclaiming the momentum on a 9-2 run. So even on the basis of miracle comebacks, the Warriors would've still needed to pull off a bigger comeback than even that one, which was literally one of the greatest ever.

Could the Warriors have comeback? Sure, just like you could go out and buy the winning lottery ticket. But crying over an at best 5% occurrence seems ridiculous. I could post the Pats 28-3 comeback, doesn't mean it's at all likely to be replicated

Damn. Chef Dingo with the mamba mentality.


Most 4th Quarter Points during the Finals

1995 Shaquille O'Neal 11.5
2000 Shaquille O'Neal 11.5 (61.1% TS)
2015 Stephen Curry 10.8 (75.1% TS)
1997 Michael Jordan 10.7 (55.1% TS)
1998 Michael Jordan 10.6 (50.6% TS)
2011 Dirk Nowitzki 10.3 (68.0% TS)
1993 Michael Jordan 10.3


And that’s old. He might have a few more now.

I remember Curry was lighting it up but he wasn't that good near the end of the game. I think he had 2 pts in the final 8 mins or something like that. Maybe he wore down, maybe he needed some help but I don't consider this some sort of great finals moment game. Curry system where everyone eats is only good when he has Klay by his side.

Definitely the same version of LeBron in that video :rolleyes:

[ELITEpower23]

I think he was 7th :lol

LBJ had #6 spot too

Greatest individual player ever.

Westbrook's was equally impressive.. in a tougher-scoring era
