NBA He approaches the numbers with which he was the first unanimous MVP of the NBA
Pnothing else can do Stephen Curry to sound like one of the glades MVP candidates it’s from the season. A career for which names like Embiid, Jokic o LeBron and in which the Warriors point guard appears in the background, to the amazement of his coach: “I don’t get it. When I think about it, I ask myself: ‘How come they don’t include him in the conversation?’ He’s playing in an incredible way. “

Reasons and arguments are not lacking for Steve Kerr when it comes to putting his player among the main candidates for the award. Curry demonstrates it almost daily as he did before the Cavaliers (125-99 for Golden State), where he barely needed three-quarters to give another basketball lesson and sign some numbers that support his nomination.
Against the Cleveland team – what times when these two teams played finals – Curry went to the 36 points (11 of 19 from the field and 7 of 11 from the triple) and six assists in just 30 minutess of game after resting the entire last quarter with the game already decided.
To get an idea of what the Warriors star is achieving, just take a look at the statistics and records that he breaks almost daily. Curry sum 10 consecutive games above 25 points with more than 50% accuracy in field goals. Something that There was only one other player in history playing point guard or guard: Michael Jordan.

In 2016 the Akron-born point guard became the first unanimous MVP of NBA history. He did it by averaging 30.1 points and 50.4% in field shots. This season is in 29.9 points and 49.4% correct, but he’s doing it by playing fewer times (33.9 minutes) and without finishing many games already decided (he has not played the last quarter in seven games and in four other games he has barely played three minutes).
They are just a small sample of what the double NBA MVP is doing to keep the Warriors in the fight for the playoffs as the eighth team in the West. However, Curry is not the only argument the San Francisco team has. Against the Cavaliers Draymond Green He showed again that, in form, he is a different and differential player. The power forward does not need to score to influence a game and against the Ohio team he set the pace with six points, eight rebounds and 16 assists, the best record of his entire career.
With their two ‘all stars’ at full capacity the Warriors were too much for a Cavaliers more aware of the movements in the offices than of what happens on the track. With Drummond’s future transfer on everyone’s mind, only Collin Sexton (23 points) showed his face in the Ohio team’s visit to the Chase Center in San Francisco.
