The Golden State Warriors are far from having a great NBA campaign, unlike Stephen Curry, who keeps on shining and carrying the team’s hopes for a playoff spot. Since Klay Thompson was ruled out for the rest of the season, the Warriors struggled and fell outside the top 8 of the Western Conference.

However, Currycontinued having outstanding performances all by himself to boost Golden State, despite his teammates failed to keep up with his level. Times have changed for the Dubs, who were used to getting into the Finals with winning records. Still, the point guard seems to be the same we saw throughout all those successful years.

Curry is currently the NBA top scorer with 31.4 points per game, and he amassed 30+ points in his last eleven games. His form is what kept the Warriors alive in the battle for a playoff berth so far. As the regular season is coming to an end, many fans are wondering who will be named the 2020/21 NBA MVP. And Steph gave his opinion about it.
