Golden State Warriors superstar Steph Curry stole the spotlight at this year's ESPYs. The Baby-Faced Assassin hosted the event and took a little dig at LeBron James during his opening monologue.

On ESPN's morning radio show Keyshawn, JWill and Max, former NBA player Jay Williams shared his opinions on Curry as a host. Williams said Curry is not always sweet and charming, and has an alternative persona that shows itself every now and then.

Steph Curry became the first NBA player since LeBron James in 2007 to host the ESPYs. He took the opportunity to remind the world that he won the NBA title this year while LeBron James lost in the NBA Finals in 2007 to the San Antonio Spurs.

The 2021-22 NBA season belonged to Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors. The franchise, led by Curry, captured its fourth championship in eight years, with the Baby-Faced Assassin winning his maiden Finals MVP award.

During the regular season, Curry established himself as an early contender for regular-season MVP.

He finished the regular season averaging 25.5 points, 6.3 assists and 5.2 rebounds per game. He shot 43.7% from the field, including 38.0% from beyond the arc. He also shot 92.3% from the free-throw line and recorded 12 double-doubles, along with two triple-doubles.

He had to carry much of the scoring burden as Klay Thompson was rusty after a prolonged injury absence. Curry went down with an ankle injury towards the end of the regular season but this helped him get some rest ahead of the postseason. In the playoffs, Curry had one of the all-time great runs, as he averaged over 27 points per game.

But the NBA Finals was where Steph Curry truly came alive. He averaged 31.2 points on more than 48% shooting from the field, including nearly 44% from the perimeter. He produced a thoroughly dominant display that was capped off with a Finals MVP award and his fourth championship.
