2. Stephen Curry

Falling just short of our top spot is Stephen Curry. He’s ready to embark on a much-anticipated revenge tour for the Golden State Warriors and I don’t think the rest of the league is ready.

Curry might never get full recognition for the season he just posted. Nearly matching his unanimous MVP statistics, Curry absolutely torched opponents on a nightly basis as he once again proved his status as “greatest shooter to ever live.”

It was difficult at times for Curry to get easy shots last season. Serving as the only offensive star was a rude awakening for the two-time MVP who has enjoyed the luxury of playing alongside Klay Thompson for his entire prime.

Thankfully, the Splash Brothers will finally be reunited next season. This will open the floor for Curry to dominate much like he always has. As we know, these two together are a recipe for success.

Don’t forget the Dubs have been busy rounding out their supporting cast with high-IQ veterans and talented rookies. This beautiful mix could make for a deadly storm next season as Curry looks to catapult the Warriors back into title contention.
