However, Durant was the more consistent star in the 2018 Finals, turning in a 40-point effort in Game 3, and a triple-double in Game 4, and after averaging 28.8 points per game to Curry's 27.5, Durant was awarded his second straight Finals MVP, which Cook said "accidentally" happened.

Houston Rockets star Kevin Durant wrote that his NBA Finals MVP award victories over Stephen Curry "scarred" Golden State Warriors fans in a Sunday post on X.

Stephen Curry won three NBA championships with the Golden State Warriors from 2015 to 2018, but never took home a Finals MVP during that stretch. Andre Iguodala won it in 2015 for his defense against LeBron James.
