It was on June 16, 2015, when Stephen Curry and the Warriors finally achieved the coveted Larry O’Brien Trophy—the most prestigious trophy in basketball—after beating LeBron James and his Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2015 NBA Finals in six games. This was the season when the Warriors won 67 games in the regular season and won their first title in 40 years under head coach Steve Kerr. Stephen Curry was also named regular season MVP for the first time in his career, and Klay Thompson earned his first all-star recognition. This 2014–15 season sparked the beginning of the Warriors’ dynasty, which haunted the league for a decade.
