Stephen Curry Wins MVP
Without a doubt basketball fans you knew this was going to happen. It was a well deserved award, and nobody was on this guys level. The guy I'am talking about is Stephen Curry. Curry is the NBA's Kia Most Valuable Player. He lead players in the race like James Harden who was trying to cook his way into the race, but we know Curry is the real chef. He also lead Ohio's king LeBron James, who is a four time MVP. This is Curry's first time ever winning the MVP, and he did it at the age of 27. If you did not think he deserved the award then you are just a ignorant fan of some other player. Curry deserved the award, and so did the NBA since they are giving it to him. YouTube Stephen Curry 2015 top plays. There is the proof that he deserved the award. Curry has set a single record for three-pointers made and led the league's best regular season team in scoring, assists, and steals. Curry is the second Warriors player to win the award, joining Wilt Chamberlain, who was honored in 1959-60 when the franchise played in Philadelphia. -------
Curry totaled 1,198 points, including 100 of 130 first-place votes, from a panel of 129 sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada, as well as the Kia MVP fan vote on NBA.com. Players were awarded 10 points for each first-place votes, seven points for each second-place votes, five points for each third-place votes, three points for each fourth-place votes and one point for each fifth-place votes. Houston Rockets, James Harden had 936 points and 25 first-place votes. Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron James had 522 points and five first-place votes. Oklahoma's Russell Westbrook had 352 points and New Orleans Pelicans Anthony Davis had 203 votes with no first-place votes. -------
Curry helped the Warriors set a franchise record of 67 wins out 82 in the regular season. Curry had made SportsCenter highlights a lot this year. Curry had a voice and he let it be heard this year. He was yelling out, "Yeah! LeBron went back home. But I'am MVP this year. Harden may stir up the pot, but Im the real Chef Curry." Curry averaged 23.8 points (sixth in the NBA), 7.7 assists (sixth), a career-high 2.04 steals (fourth) and 4.3 rebounds. Also, Curry has made 286 three-pointers in one season, breaking his own NBA record of 272 set in 2012-13. He shot 48.7 percent from the field and ranked fourth in the league in three-point field goal percentage of 44.3. Curry also led the NBA in free throw percentage 91.4, converting a career high 52 consecutive free throws from March 9 to April 4. With Curry leading the way, Golden State became the 10th team in NBA history to win at least 67 games in a season. The Warriors scored 920 more points than they allowed with Curry on the court, the highest plus/minus for any player this season and an average of 11.5 points in his 80 appearances. -------

The series also includes the Kia NBA Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Month and the Kia NBA Eastern and Western Conference Rookies of the Month during the regular season. Kia Motors is the Official Automotive Partner of the NBA, and the Kia Optima is the league's Official Vehicle. ------
Stephen Curry deserved this award without a doubt. LeBron even said it was "well deserved" and joked around saying another kid from Ohio. LeBron has a lot of respect for players. He is not going to talk bad about any player. Kobe Bryant on the other hand will. Kobe said his MVP choice would be James Harden. I kind of understand where he is coming from knowing that Kobe was once teammates with Dwight Howard. Harden had to carry the rockets on his back to get to where they are now and which is in the second round facing the Clippers. Stephen Curry did a lot to set a team record, especially with a rookie coach. Curry has a "Splash brother" Klay Thompson, and that is what sets them two aside. Klay can hit threes just like Curry could. But look at it this way, Warriors are a built team, not a bought team. Klay may have had a contract extension for 90 million, but it was well deserved just like Curry's MVP.
