"The first, you don’t really know what you’re doing until you accomplish it" - Steph Curry opens up on why the latest championship with Golden State means the most to him

Four-time NBA champion Steph Curry has carved out quite the legacy for himself with the Golden State Warriors. Although each title is of great significance, the superstar shared why the latest one meant the most to him.

Curry is widely regarded as the greatest shooter of all-time and is arguably one of the greatest point guards to ever play the game. So it is not much of a surprise that the Golden State Warriors have been one of the most successful teams in recent years.

With four titles in eight years, the Dubs have seen epic highs. However, their journey to becoming the 2022 NBA champions had many obstacles.

Being able to overcome those challenges made the victory sweeter, which is why Curry holds the most recent title in higher stead. In an interview with Sports Illustrated's Ashley Nicole Moss, Curry shed light on why the 2022 championship meant so much to him.

"You don’t find me ugly crying on the court for no reason,” Curry said. “That raw emotion that came out after Game 6 kind of signaled how much it meant to me, how much it meant to our team.
"The first, you don’t really know what you’re doing until you accomplish it, and then you’re celebrating. The next two were kind of validation, trying to remain champions. But after these last three years and winning that, definitely the most special."

Emotions ran high for the Dubs and Steph Curry last season. Missing the playoffs for two years in a row and Klay Thompson's return were among several other storylines that contributed to the Warriors' drive. With Curry also being named Finals MVP in the process, the title experience was truly unlike any other.

Coming off a successful playoff run, Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors will have quite the target on their back. However, given the strength of the Golden State's development system, it seems unlikely that this team will take a step back.

Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole played a huge role last season and promising youngsters Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody are developing quickly. So, the Dubs may have the pieces to go all the way again next year.

While most teams find it difficult to motivate themselves after such a run, the Warriors have made their drive to win very clear. With the training camp due to begin on Sept. 24, the Dubs will set out on their journey to repeat.
