The Golden State Warriors will enter Thursday’s Game 6 with a chance to win their fourth title in eight years.

If the Dubs are able to pull that off, it would be an awe-inspiring feat, especially considering most thought their dynasty was over following the second season-ending injury to five-time All-Star guard Klay Thompson.

The Golden State Warriors are up 3-2 in the NBA Finals, and while Stephen Curry is the clear Finals MVP, a few Dubs have been greatly outplaying their value.

Golden State has been dominant this postseason because of their defense, which ended the season ranked third. While they didn’t finish a top-two defense, they were setting a historic bar for the first several months of the season.

The Warriors have held Boston to under 100 points in 3 of their last 4 games, scoring more than 100 in all four as well. Golden State has taken its game to the next level on the back of two-time MVP Stephen Curry, who is averaging over 30 points per game.

Curry is clearly leading the show and will be the Finals MVP if Golden State comes out on top. However, the Dubs have been aided by players that will undoubtedly earn large paydays this offseason.

Let’s dive into who has most outplayed their value in the NBA Finals.
