Curry navigated the Golden State Warriors to a 4-1 series victory over the Dallas Mavericks by averaging 23.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 7.4 assists per game for the series.

The Warriors closed out the best-of-seven series on their home floor with a 120-110 win.

GSW earned their sixth trip to the NBA Finals in the last eight years. The 2015, 2017, and 2018 NBA champs will start their hunt for another title in San Francisco on June 2. They will meet either Boston Celtics or Miami Heat (Celtics lead 3-2).

The 34-year-old Curry is a three-time champion, eight-time All-Star, two-time MVP, two-time scoring champion, and four-time first-team All-NBA selection.

However, the one thing that Curry has never won is NBA Finals MVP in five previous trips.
