Few people have had it better than Stephen Curry over the last three years. During that timeframe, Curry has established himself as the greatest shooter in league history and won two MVPs and is closing in on his second championship. Aside from those God-awful shoes he’s had with Under Armour and the “Warriors blew a 3-1 lead” memes, it’s been pretty much all good things for the Baby-Faced Assassin.

Curry has become the posterchild for the Golden State dynasty—and we can call them that now should they capture another title with the prospect of more on the way in the years to come. He’s been on such a legendary pace that he had the second-most threes in a season in NBA history this year and hardly anyone noticed. He owns the record. In fact, Curry owns four of the five highest single-season 3-point totals, and six of the top 10. (For the record, the one top-five finish that doesn’t belong to Curry belongs to Klay Thompson.)

The NBA Finals have been Curry’s choice event to showcase his skills as a player over the past three years; his Warriors have now won the series twice, and had it not been for Draymond Green’s suspension last year, they might be looking at a three-peat right now. So despite the “3-1 lead” memes, few months have been kinder to any team than the month of June to the Warriors.

But everyone has their bad days, even the greatest shooter in league history. And some of those bad days have come in the NBA Finals. Some nights, he just didn’t have the stroke. Threes come in spurts, and obviously those spurts tend to lean in a positive direction. But sometimes they don’t.

These aren’t the games anyone will remember Curry for when all is said and done—but they did happen. So while every site on the internet basks in Curry’s great moments today, Complex is going to take a look back at his worst. Here are the six worst NBA Finals performances by Stephen Curry.
