NBA MVP Ladder: Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant setting the league on fire
1. Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors
Stats: 34 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds
As amazing as Kevin Durant has been this season, Stephen Curry has been better. He’s off to his best start of his career due to date, while shooting career highs from the field and from 3-point range.
What’s even more amazing is the fact that he’s hit at least five 3-point field goals in every game this season, including a game last week in which he hit 11 on his way to a 51-point performance in which he didn’t even play the fourth quarter.
