Golden State Warriors: Handing out end-of-the-year team awards

Most Valuable Player

Stephen Curry is without a doubt the Golden State Warriors most valuable player. While we can go into his averages and what he’s done for the team, all that’s needed to be said is that the top team in the Western Conference has went 5-12 without Curry, dropping two games by over 25 points.

Curry is the life of the team. With breakout performances of 50-plus points or unreal shooting nights of 10-plus threes, a feat that he did six times this season, Curry has been as dominant as ever.

However, with Klay Thompson, Durant, Green and Cousins on the team, he won’t get the league-wide recognition that he deserves. While his numbers aren’t quite the same, Curry’s play and dominance have been on the same level as that of his MVP-winning season in 2015.

Overall, Curry is averaging 27.6 points per game on over 45% from the field, 40% from three and 90% from the free throw line, the only qualified player to his such percentage on such volume scoring.

Then, add on over five rebounds and assists per game, and you have a complete and unprecedented stat line. His efficiency is what sets him apart from a player like James Harden and his ability to shoot from deep makes him unique compared to Giannis.

He’s a league-wide MVP candidate, and he’s also, by a slim margin, the Warriors’ Most Valuable Player.
