Stephen Curry Is NBA’s Most Valuable Player

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry has been selected as the NBA's Most Valuable Player.

Curry became the second Warrior to win the award and first since
the club moved to the west coast in 1962. Wilt Chamberlain was
honored for the 1959-60 season when the franchise was based in
Philadelphia.

The 27-year-old sharpshooter led the Warriors to a franchise-record
67 wins this season and the club's first division title since the
1975-76 campaign. He averaged 23.8 points, 7.7. assists and 4.3
rebounds in 80 games

Curry received 100 first-place votes from a panel of 129
sportswriters and broadcasters, as well as one NBA.com fan vote,
for a total of 1,198 points to outdistance Houston's James Harden
for the award.

Harden picked up 25 first-place votes and 936 points to finish
second in the balloting, well ahead of Cleveland's LeBron James.
The four-time MVP earned the other five first-place votes and 552
points.

Curry was the sixth-leading scorer in the NBA and led the league in
3-point field goals for a third consecutive season, hitting 286
from beyond the arc to break his own NBA record for a single
season. He also ranked third in 3-point percentage, converting at
44.3 percent and led the league in free throw shooting at 91.4
percent.  (Metro Networks Inc)
