Why does Stephen Curry’s “Era” not start from their rookie days in the NBA 2K?
The period from which the NBA 2K is giving game users the opportunity to relive the Golden Era belongs to the complete domination of Stephen Curry and Co.
After the 2014-15 season NBA Championship victory, the Warriors raced their winning juggernaut till the 2018-19 season. They won the NBA finals in the year 2017 and 2018 after the breakout victory.
Out of five seasons, the Warriors made it to all the finals and secured the title with them for three seasons.
Also, they marked a milestone record for NBA teams, as they racked up 73 game wins in the 2015-16 season. Stephen Curry, being the face of the Warriors and the league, kept the Dubs formidable at max.
Later Kevin Durant’s addition in free agency was only a waver for the other teams in the Finals. That’s why the game’s new era represents the league icon Stephen Curry, not the journey of the Warriors’ Steph.
Nevertheless, it is quite an achievement for Curry to share the same podium as legends. After completing his basketball resume with the Paris Olympics gold, the Golden Boy has created another legacy off-court.
