Steph Curry was nearly in tears when it grew to become evident that Kevin Durant was going to win Finals MVP as a substitute of him for the second straight yr in 2018.
That’s in line with Curry’s former teammate, Nick Young, who gave his recollection of how issues went down on the Gil’s Arena podcast.

“I remember, they was neck and neck, KD and Steph,” Young stated. “And then Steph had one dangerous sport. KD was hittin’. (In the) locker room, Steph’s head was down, in rattling close to tears. … after a win.
“Man he wanted to win that b*tch. KD was trying to give it to him. Like, KD won the year before. He was trying to give it to him. But Steph couldn’t make a shot, right? Yeah like I think (he had) the lowest he scored in the Finals.”
That’s when Gilbert Arenas chimed in, saying that whereas most gamers would by no means admit it, they normally do care about particular person awards and actively attempt to win them.
“When people say this ain’t a thing man, it is a real thing, man, like it is,” Arenas stated. “Like, I’m this close to winning something, you don’t think I’m gonna go for it? But I’m gonna say, “Ah nah, this don’t mean nothin’, but I took 38 shots.”
