Ryan Garcia showed his love to Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry for recently winning the NBA 2022 Championship and Finals MVP award.
Curry led Golden State to their fourth NBA championship since 2015, defeating the Boston Celtics 4-2 in their best-of-seven finals series. With another Sterling season, the 6’2 guard cemented his claim as an all-time great.
In conversation with ESNews‘KingRy’ pointed out that despite being the ‘outsider’ and smaller guy on the court, Curry could still shine and help his team win another NBA title.
“Finals MVP Steph Curry, a true inspiration, stays genuine at all times, humble and just likes to kick ass on the pitch. Congratulations, you deserve everything you have worked for.”

Garcia wins a 12-round unanimous decision victory over Emmanuel Tagoe on April 9 at the Alamodome in San Antonio.
A win over Fortuna next will not only justify Goossen’s praise but also catapult the up-and-coming fighter into the higher echelons of the strong lightweight division. A win could also earn him a potential matchup against WBA (Regular) Lightweight Champion Gervonta Davis.
