The luxury of having a player like Stephen Curry is sometimes understated. We have become so accustomed to his brilliance and his innate ability to take over games in the clutch that we take it for granted. Tonight, he just showed us why we should acknowledge his greatness.

A 23-point 2nd half and leading a disheartened Warriors team are not all that Curry did tonight. Tonight he led by example. And he put a notice out to the league that no matter their form or struggle, as long as he exists, the Warriors are the toughest team to beat.
The Cavaliers were in red-hot form coming into this game, with a stellar 8-2 record and a chance to move within touching distance of the Bucks, and yet, they couldn’t overpower Stephen and the Warriors.
He scored 40 tonight but more important are the points he picked up late in the game. Take a look at this dagger. Typical. Nonchalant almost. Curry is THAT GUY.
Kevin Durant, Jack Dorsey, and others gush over Stephen Curry
Of course, seeing this Stephen Curry performance, NBA Twitter, ergo the world, poured in their tributes.
Former teammate Kevin Durant was in awe.
And so was the founder of Twitter himself, Jack Dorsey.
These statistics are straight out of a video game. He has been doing it on a nightly basis for more than a decade now.
The efficiency is also ridiculous. He is set to once again join the 50/40/90 club.
While this storyline was the most prominent, eager fans noticed another.
A game full of missed calls
As the game was between two offenses that went all out, there had to be a lot of calls. But in the flurry, the officials missed a lot of calls and fans were not happy. Steve Kerr too, was livid.
A lot of people said that it looked like the NBA officials were taking the appeals to the heart and in a show of power, decided to not give away any. We think that’s harsh.
Ultimately, it didn’t matter and today we give our flowers to Stephen Curry. The man of the moment.
