Cavaliers’ LeBron James: No doubt Stephen Curry is deserving of MVP
San Antonio Spurs’ Kawhi Leonard finished second after Curry pushing LeBron James to third position.
However, from the promotional video above, it still remains unclear when such changes to Curry’s in-game character will be made. “Nothing is guaranteed in this league – a wet spot or a twist of an ankle can derail any momentum that you’ve built up, so you want to appreciate every single game, every single moment that I have”. The right ankle injury in Game 1 of the Warriors’ first round playoff series against the Houston Rockets, and later the right knee sprain in Game 4 just one half after he had returned, showed yet again how success and health can be so frail and fleeting. “But there’s a reason this is happening”. He scored an NBA-record 17 points in overtime to put the Warriors up 3-1 in a series that’s been a lot closer than that, but still puts the Warriors one win away from moving onward to their second consecutive conference finals series, returning home, where they’ve yet to lose in the postseason. Shaquille O’Neal also was one vote shy in 1999-2000. Besides being fellow Under Armour athletes, they’re just two-of-three unanimous MVPs in the history of American sports, with Wayne Gretzky being the third.
It’s a regular-season honor, but what he did in Game 4 on Monday night in Portland won’t be soon forgotten. He is the first two-time MVP in franchise history, and Wilt Chamberlain (1959-60) is the only other Warriors victor. “I’ve seen very few players who possess the confidence you have”. I find it impossible…. He averaged 6.7 assists and 5.4 rebounds per game, led the National Basketball Association with 2.1 steals per game, while shooting 50.4 percent from the field, 45.4 percent from 3-point range and 90.8 percent from the foul line.
“They’re going to have more of a spotlight, and people are going to ask questions about whoever it is”, Curry said about the scrutiny of being MVP.
“I look at the list of players that have been named MVP, legends, they all are”. James was the last to achieve that feat, with the Miami Heat in 2012 and 2013. “To be the first unanimous MVP award victor is something I don’t even know how to put into words”.
“He is such a dominant player and so much fun to watch”, Brady told CSNNE.com in an email Tuesday afternoon. “I never thought that that would kind of happen in my career”.
“It is a huge honour, one that I will remember for the rest of my life”, he added.
