Curry turned 36 in March, but he still remains among the best players in the NBA.

For reference, Curry is teammates with four-time NBA Champion LeBron James for the first time in his career.
Curry after the win (h/t Fox Sports): “We just want to win Gold. Whatever that takes. We always talk about no matter what your stats are, no matter how many minutes you play, everybody on the floor commits and just doing what you’re asked to do.”
As for James, he finished the game with seven points, five rebounds, three assists and one block while shooting 3/5 from the field.
