Mark Jackson watched the Warriors thrive during the 2021-22 NBA season, following the season and the NBA Finals.
And when Golden State were crowned champions again Thursday night after a 6-game win over the Boston Celtics at TD Garden, Jackson couldn’t help but strike against his former team.
Steph Curry was unanimously named MVP of the finals after leading his team to their fourth title in eight years, thanking his family, coaches and teammates for their support along the way.
But Jackson believes the four-time NBA champion must express his gratitude elsewhere.
“If I were Steph Curry, I would thank Boston’s defense for MVP,” Jackson said.
Curry averaged 31.2 points in six games against the best defense in the league. That sounds like a well-deserved MVP in the final, which was Curry’s first.
This was not the only time Jackson overshadowed the Warriors in this series, and it probably won’t be the last time he targets Golden State.
