Curry leaves mark as MVP
Print Edition
STEPHEN Curry on Tuesday scaled heights never reached by NBA greats such as Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan and LeBron James when he became the first unanimous winner of the league’s most valuable player award.
A day after returning from injury to playoff action with an explosive performance for the Golden State Warriors, Curry swept all 131 first-place votes to earn the game’s highest individual honor for a second straight season.
He joined Johnson, Jordan and Steve Nash as the only guards to win the honor in consecutive campaigns, having dazzled NBA fans during the regular season with one astonishing display of shot-making after another.
Already established as one of the league’s greatest ever 3-point shooters, 28-year-old led the NBA in scoring with an average of 30.1 points and a record 402 3-point baskets as he led the Warriors to an unprecedented 73-9 mark.
Curry became just the fourth player in NBA history to average at least 30 points, six assists, five rebounds and two steals in a season, following Rick Barry (1974-75), Jordan (three times) and Dwyane Wade (2008-09).
A pivotal figure for the Warriors as they clinched the NBA title last season, Curry earned a total of 1,310 points in balloting for the 2015-16 MVP award.
San Antonio Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard (634) was next, ahead of Cleveland Cavaliers forward James (631).
