The Warriors are heading back to the NBA Finals for the sixth time in eight years.
As the dynasty remains alive and well, superstar guard Stephen Curry continues to make his push as the greatest point guard of all time with another trip to the game's biggest stage.
Curry's sixth Finals appearance matches him with Hall of Famers like Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal and Tim Duncan on the all-time leaderboard, but he's only halfway to the most Finals appearances ever, a record held by the great Bill Russell.
While that record seems nearly untouchable, Curry has already made his mark on the NBA Finals record books in his first five appearances.
