Last Tuesday Curry was unanimously declared the most valuable player (MVP) in the NBA. Curry had all 131 first place votes. He is the first player in any position to average 30 points in under 35 minutes. He is also the 11th player to win back to back MVP awards, the last one being Lebron James when he was with the Miami Heat.

Before turning into a two time MVP, Curry was a regular guard with low expectations thrust upon him. From the beginning his draft notes were not positive: 6’3”, 185 pounds, position point guard. Curry’s explosiveness and athleticism was below standard. He was not a great finisher around the basket. He needed to considerably improve as a ball handler. He often struggled against physical defenders. He needed to develop as a point guard to make it in the league. He was predicted to have limited success at the next level and others were hesitant to rely on him to run their team.

Curry since then has shown the world what he is capable of. “He wants it. There’s no ulterior motive. He’s constantly trying to improve with no agenda. This is incredibly improbable. But there’s a reason this is happening,” Steve Kerr, coach, said.

Curry has been amazing this past NBA season. Curry made 402 three pointers, shattering his single-season NBA record of 286, which he set last season. He also joined Steve Nash and his coach, Steve Kerr, as the only players in league history to shoot at least 50 percent from the floor, 45 percent from three point range and 90 percent from the line in a season.

The final score between the Golden State Warriors and the Portland Trailblazers was 125-121. This was game five and the Warriors were able to eliminate the Trailblazers and advance to the western conference finals.

Curry is an amazing basketball player and will lead his team to the NBA finals without a doubt. Before that, however, the Warriors will be facing the Oklahoma City Thunder on May 16 for the western conference finals.
