You've got to be able to put the time and the work. I know it inspires a lot of the next generation, a lot of people who love the game of basketball to value the skill of it, value the fact that you can work every single day to get better. I never thought that would happen in my career," Curry said after receiving the MVP honor. "I never really set out to change the game. In May 2016, Curry became the first person to be named Most Valuable Player by unanimous vote in NBA history, and one of only 11 players to win the MVP award two years in a row. In 2015, Curry set a new record with 286 three-pointers and led the league in steals, an impressive all-around display that garnered him the Most Valuable Player Award. Three games later, the veteran guard again topped the field with 37 points as the Warriors finished off the sweep to claim their third NBA title in four years. Game 1 of the fourth straight Warriors-Cavaliers Finals went down to the wire before Curry helped his team pull away in overtime with a game-high 33 points. But the superstar guard returned in the second round to finish off the New Orleans Pelicans and then helped put away the top-seeded Houston Rockets for the Western Conference crown. 1 overall in points leagues, where his value is at its highest.Expected to contend for the title with his teammates again in 2018, Curry instead encountered a setback by way of an MCL sprain late in the regular season, his absence leaving the Warriors on shakier ground heading into the playoffs. His biggest knocks are turnovers, FT%, and lack of defensive numbers, but improvements in those categories could give his value an even bigger boost. He carried Dallas on his back to a Game 7 showdown with the Clippers in the first round of the playoffs, and he led Slovenia to a quarterfinal appearance in the Olympics. Over the last two seasons, Doncic has averaged 28.3 points, 8.7 dimes, and 8.7 boards while posting some monster triple-doubles and signature games in the process. One of basketball's biggest stars should open the season as an MVP favorite after what he's been able to accomplish in his brief NBA career. Curry will have to put this team on his back yet again, so I would expect plenty of monstrous stat lines once again. Golden State gets a little help in the scoring department with the addition of Otto Porter, but I'm not counting on Klay Thompson playing at anywhere near 100% after being off for the better part of two seasons. Last season, Chef Curry led the league in scoring (32.0 PPG) and three pointers (career-high 5.3 p/g) while racking up over five rebounds and assists per contest. There's a clear argument to be made for Curry at No.1, so if you prefer him over Jokic, I can't fault you.
