However, Durant was the more consistent star in the 2018 Finals, turning in a 40-point effort in Game 3, and a triple-double in Game 4, and after averaging 28.8 points per game to Curry's 27.5, Durant was awarded his second straight Finals MVP, which Cook said "accidentally" happened.

For years, NBA fans trolled Stephen Curry for not winning a Finals MVP. Andre Iguodala and Kevin Durant (2x) got that distinction in Curry’s first three championships, and the sharpshooter had to wait until 2022 to finally get his.

Stephen Curry won three NBA championships with the Golden State Warriors from 2015 to 2018, but never took home a Finals MVP during that stretch. Andre Iguodala won it in 2015 for his defense against LeBron James.
