Well deserved, it could have gone either way but I'm not even mad. He had a phenomenal year.

For comparison's sake, let's switch the 2 guys. If you gave Curry carte blanche to shoot as much as he wanted and basically be a one man show, do you think he won't average 27+ ppg? Put Harden on the Warriors on the other hand (with Klay Thompson replaced by an equivalent level PG - say Kyrie). Do they still win 65+ games? Does their offense run as smoothly? Do guys like Draymond and Barnes get the same opportunities to score?
You sir are an idiot. Period.

It would be a travesty if Harden had been the first MVP to win from the free throw line. As for Curry, hard to argue with the best record in the league and beating Harden and the Rockets all 4 times.

If you replaced Curry with George Hill, they still win 60.
If you replaced Harden with anyone but maybe Westbrook and Durant, they don't win 56. Lebron had more talent around him in Cleveland considering Dwight and Bev and Jones and DMo missed 100 games.
Curry won because the MVP = best player on the best team. I have no problem with that, but at least change the name to 'best player on the best team' because he's not the MVP. Harden or Davis deserve that.

Re: BREAKING: Steph Curry named MVP
I told all of ISH that Curry was better than Rondo back in 2011.
Never thought he'd actually be the MVP.

Re: BREAKING: Steph Curry named MVP
Well deserved mvp. I wouldn't be mad if it went to harden either, since he did arguably slightly less with A LOT less. Curry put up ridiculous shooting numbers in a historic 3pt season breaking his record from last year. Efficiency really is the key to winning ball games. If you can have a higher TS than the other team and have the same possessions, YOU WIN!

Is George Hill gonna be breaking down defenses to open up his teammates? Is he gonna be guarded 2 steps from the half court line, opening up the whole court for the rest of the team? Is he gonna make scorers out of Barnes and Draymond Green?
I don't think people realize just how important Stephen Curry is to the GS offense because they see a smooth seamless machine without realizing that Curry is the engine that makes that machine run. Remove him, and you're left with last year's Chicago Bulls. They won't have any reliable scorer aside from Klay Thompson. And I don't believe any team with Klay as the top go-to guy is winning shit.

You say this like they didn't get it right last year, or in 2013, 2012, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007... they got it right alot of years minus '01, '06, '11.
