Stephen Curry is proving his basketball greatness to everyone by setting a record in every game that he plays - from his shooting figures up to his passing and dribbling skills. These same skills have brought an NBA title to the Golden State Warriors after 40 years and won Curry an MVP title as well as this year's Male Athlete of the Year from The Associated Press.
Curry ranked first in the voting made by the US news directors and editors. Along with Larry Bird, Michael Jordan and LeBron James, Curry was among the list of basketball players to have won such honor in 85 years. He beat American Pharoah, the first to have won the Triple Crown since 1978, and Jordan Spieth, a golfer who has won a couple of majors, James Town Sun reported.
With his jersey as the best-seller in the basketball league, Curry is undoubtedly the face of the NBA. Every time the Golden State Warriors play, the team sets a record in the TV ratings. Even his three-year-old child Riley has become a favorite ever since she appeared in Curry's playoff news conferences.
His scoring has become more efficient and even surpassed the 3-point shooting record that he has set. He continues to shoot from a 28-feet out while he is on pace to break his record of 3-point shooting per season. Curry is driven by the fact that he did not get any major offer of a scholarship after high school, was only taken as a third point guard back in the 2009 draft pick, and chose a cheap contract extension due to people's questioning about his capability after his ankle injuries.
Stephen Curry challenges himself to become better because that is how he would like to get to the next level. While Coach Steve Kerr thinks that Curry won't get much better, he believes that the MVP has become considerably much better from last year, Yahoo News wrote.
