Spicy Curry

LeBron James has finished fifth place or better in the race for league MVP each of the last six seasons.  If the Cleveland Cavaliers don't shape up by NBA All-Star Weekend MVP voting could look drastically different this year.

Steph Curry is having a phenomenal season for the Golden State Warriors.  Curry has posted 23.9 points, 2.2 steals, 7.7 assist and 5.5 rebounds per game thus far this season.  If he maintains this production Curry will have one of the best season's by any guard in NBA history.

Curry ' s defense has come a long way since he entered the NBA in 2009.  His 2.2 steals per game is a testament to how far the second generation player has come on the defensive end of the court.  Curry and back court mate Klay Thompson are the best guard duo in the NBA right now.

The most fascinating part of Curry ' s game is his precision.  Aside from a few turnovers per game, he always seems under control.  Curry is a threat to score once he's passed half court. Steph Curry could be on to his first NBA MVP award.
