To the players who stood, pretty much in unison, at the all-bark, very little-bite NBPA Players' Awards with a collective dismissal and back turn on Stephen Curry's MVP season last year ... well, this is his revenge tour.
To the media and fans who thumbed a nose to Golden State's NBA title last season, branding it luck ... this is their validation tour.
And it has been glorious.
Not everything has been perfect, but it has been basketball perfection. The kind of start just one other NBA title winner in history has had in its following season: 14-0.
