Stephen Curry

A two-time MVP. Better yet, a unanimous two-time MVP, the only one in league history. People still think he’s a fraud. Some I’ve seen go as far as saying Stephen Curry got lucky that he was injured last season so he wasn’t exposed that he can’t lead a team on his own.

This season, Curry can cement himself as a top-ten player in league history. Curry has led the league in both scoring and steals per game at times in his career. Outside of last season, Curry averaged over four triples per game in each of his previous four seasons.

There are a few question marks surrounding Curry’s titles from those that want to spew hate on him. The Cavaliers were injured; he had Durant — the excuses go on. If Curry can take the NBA by storm, he can silence everyone one last time.

Curry is under 500 triples away from leading the league in threes, aiming to top Ray Allen. He’ll get there, and this season could be a big reason why. They’ll need more from him, and it’ll be important for this team that he steps up back to his former self.

The Warriors need these three to thrive, and if they do, they’ll be just fine moving forward.
