For as great as Stephen Curry has been in his career, he always seemed to get overlooked. With numerous All-Star selections, multiple All-NBA squads under his belt and two MVPs, one which came on the unanimous variety, the first in league history to do so, Curry never got his just due in big games.

His three NBA titles have all produced Finals MVP winners other than himself. Still, for as much as his critics try to sweep his contributions under the rug, it was impossible to do so during Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals.

As the Houston Rockets continued to toss up brick after brick, Curry was steadily getting his team back into the game. Curry ended the night and broke the hearts of Rocket fans as he dropped 27 points, registered 10 assists, pulled down 9 rebounds and got his hands on four steals. He also shot 46.7 percent from the distance, nailing seven.

From there, it was smooth sailing to another NBA title as the Golden State Warriors swept LeBron James and his Cleveland Cavaliers.
