The NBA Most Valuable Player award goes to Golden State Warrior guard Stephen Curry,  the player that continues to amaze each and every night with his skills and leadership on the court.

During the season, Curry amazed the world with his amazing handles and crazy shooting skills from behind the three point line. Curry is the best player in the league because he led his team to having the most franchise wins in history, 67 total wins (only 15 losses).

Curry is the league’s most tenacious player due to his amazing ways of handling the ball. He has duped some of the best point guards in the league.

Curry’s shooting skills are beyond containment with his ability to release the ball so quickly no one is able to block his shot. Curry averaged around 24 points a game, and most of his shots come from behind the three point line. Curry has made his own personal NBA record with the most three pointers made in a single season. His record was originally 270 three pointers, beating his own record on April 10 against the Portland Trail Blazers. Curry is also known for his amazing ability to shoot and make the most outrageous shots.

When facing the Los Angeles Clippers, Curry was stuck in a serious triple team not being able to move until he put on his series of handles, split through all three people, turned around, popped an outrageous three and made it. Curry shot 44% from the three point line this year, shooting nearly 10% better than average three point shooters.

Curry is also known for his deft passing skills. Curry averaged 8 assists a game, putting on a completely amazing passing show. His pin point accurate passes get so many reactions from the crowd and could shut another team down. TV basketball analyst Kenny Smith has also noticed this talent. “It’s like Curry has a third sense when it comes to passing the ball. He can see everyone on the court at once,” said Smith for TNT.
