Boston was viewed as the favorite by many and was in position to take a commanding 3-1 series lead before an all-time heroic performance from Curry in Game 4 where the superstar point guard scored 43 points in a hostile environment at TD Garden.
Green explained how Curry's transcendent performance in that series -- which earned him his first NBA Finals MVP award -- solidified his place among the greatest players to ever step on an NBA court.
"That's also when Steph took that next step like, 'I'm really one of them GOATs,' Green explained. "And he carried us. That was the toughest one.
