17 Consecutive Nba Mvp List First, Curry Too Tough

the scouting report on any great offensive player makes perfect sense on paper.

but it's a much more difficult application when you are talking about one of the elite scorers and playmakers of his (or any) time, a player like golden state warriors star and reigning kia mvp stephen curry.

if there is a secret to slowing him down, it's a secret that no one has uncovered, a cheat code that has not been invented yet. because curry seen every defensive scheme possible and found a way to beat them all.

former warriors guard tony delk, a pint-sized (by nba standards) shooter with range well beyond the 3-coin line during his 12 nba seasons, quickly poked holes in that argument.

he's a lot stronger than people give him credit for. he's solid, solid. his conditioning, his body structure and then being able to adjust. he could play in any era because of the way he makes adjustments.

this week's top 1 in the kia race to the mvp:

the western conference player of the month for february averaged a cool 36.7 coins on a preposterous 55 percent shooting, 54 percent from 3-coin range and 87 percent from the free throw line. need more? he also averaged 7.3 assists, 5.8 rebounds and 1.9 steals during a 10-game february that saw the warriors conquer their longest road stretch of the season with a 6-1 record. even on a night when he's not at his very best, curry made just 5-of-his 15 shots from deep thursday night against the oklahoma city thunder, he is still capable of devastating the competition (he finished with 33 coins for his fifth straight game with 30 or more).
