The Warriors lifted their championship trophy for the first time in 40 years.
But Curry wasn't happy, although he smiled when he hugged Hansen after the game, it seemed more like a forced smile.
Although he averaged 26 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 6.3 assists in the finals, the final fmvp was awarded to Klay Thompson, who averaged 18.3 points and 4.3 rebounds.
Moreover, not only did Curry not win the fmvp, but he also didn't receive even a single vote.
This outcome was subsequently questioned by fans.
There had never been such a situation in the history of fmvp voting; it was utterly preposterous.
But the post-game explanation provided by the media was, starting from Game 3, Curry's performance dipped under Hansen's defense, while Thompson led the Warriors to ultimate victory.
Obviously, this reasoning wouldn't convince a three-year-old and could be described as ridiculous.
Yet, there was a traceable origin for this, the balancing hand of Silva.
