A blur in the corner of the frame is captured by the camera around 4:02 in the first half. In the first game of the NBA Finals, Stephen Curry receives a pass from a teammate, dribbles past a defender who is swarming, and makes a 3-pointer.

Additionally, the camara captures Curry as he quickly pumps his fist to his chest before pointing to the RAFters of Oracle Arena in Oakland, California, following the basket-making process. This was Curry’s way of thanking God for the victory against the Cavaliers that night.

Even more impressive than his brilliant regular season was Curry’s spectacular performance under the lights. After setting a new record two years ago, Curry surpassed it this season with 286 three-pointers.

NBA Most Valuable Player honors went to Curry because to his incredible shooting skills, the Golden State Warriors’ 67-win season, and their status as the Western Conference Playoffs’ top seed.

After six years in the league, Curry finally earned MVP, beating out legends like James Harden and LeBron James. Rather than attributing his success in the NBA to pure talent and a passion for the game, Curry, in contrast to several other superstars, credits God.

Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior, is ultimately to blame for the abilities that enable me to play this game. “I can’t say enоugh hоw impоrtаnt my faith is to hоw I plаy the game and to whо I am.” Curry remarked during his MVP victory speech.

Curry chose to follow Christ while he was still a middle school student, long before he became famous. After hearing from the youth pastor that he and his classmates needed to make the decision freely, without consulting their parents, Curry made the decision, he explained in an interview with active Faith.

As a result of his strong religious beliefs, Curry is always on the lookout for ways to help the less fortunate.

When Curry first hit a 3-pointer in 2012, he also became a member of the Nothing but Nets movement. The initiative, which was sparked by sports journalist Rick Reilly, involves the distribution of bed nets sprayed with insecticide. In 2012, Curry made 816 three-pointers, or three for every assist he received. Curry intends to provide an even greater number of bed nets this year after setting a new record.

Stephen Curry’s development as a Christian and NBA superstar has been greatly aided by the love and encouragement of his family. The father of Stephen Curry, Dell, was a sixteen-year NBA player who was honored as the league’s Sixth Man of the Year in 1994. Sonya was a standout on the Virginia Tech volleyball team, and she is Stephen’s mom.

When asked about the first middle school game he ever missed due to parental punishment for laziness, Curry reminisced on the experience in his MVP acceptance speech. With a mischievous grin on his face, Curry added, “Tell your teammates I won’t be able to play tonight because I neglected to do the dishes at home.” It was quite an awkward moment, he admitted.

Curry mentioned discipline and faith as the most impactful parts of his childhood when questioned about them. While Curry was head coach at Davidson College, the Wildcats made it all the way to the Elite Eight in 2008 before losing to Kansas, the tournament champions. When Davidson’s Wildcats made it this far in the tournament, all eyes were on the quick guard with the silky shooting.

After Curry’s junior year at Davidson, he decided to join the 2009 NBA draft. In his first season, the Golden State Warriors—who selected him with the seventh overall pick—went 26–56. After a disappointing 2009 season, the Warriors swiftly improved, mostly due to Curry’s scoring and distribution abilities.

Compared to the previous five seasons, this season’s 67-15 record represents an increase of 41 wins for the organization.

On Sunday, June 7, at 7 o’clock in the evening, the second Finals game will get underway.
