I think the Celtics could still come back, but the more I watch this series the more I see how Finals experience and the heart of a champion are a real thing.

So you'd put him above Kobe?


I think that's likely what I'll think at the end of Steph's career.

Nice little 21-0 run for the Warriors.

Experience isn't as important as experience as a team. The Warriors have four guys--Steph, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and Andre Iguodola-- who have been on all four of their championship teams in the past eight seasons. That's a lot. By comparison, the Lakers of the 1980s had only three guys--Kareem, Magic and Michael Cooper--who played on all five of their championship teams from 1980 to 1988.

Knowing how to win, is very under rated.  The Warriors showed not only heart and resolve but all through this series the Warriors knew when it was time to go and how to close the deal.  We were watching the 4th Q last night, and the Celtics kept making plays to get it under 10, but I never thought they were coming back.  The Big 3 had been there too many times. to let the Celtics back in.

 

The Warriors are a true champion.

It's rather remarkable that this team found a way back to the championship after Durant left, Klay suffered two horrible injuries, guys declined with age, and while they bottomed out, they didn't even get anything out of their top picks in these playoffs.

As many have said elsewhere, this is the biggest title for Steph (Kerr too) legacy wise for the aforementioned reasons and because Steph was far and away the best player on this team. That was also true with the first title, but Draymond and Klay were much better then they are now.

Yeah, this title helped Steph's all time ranking a good bit IMO
