One mistake for Stephen Curry was to prevent him from being twice as much NBA MVP.
The Golden State Warriors enjoyed a great spell in the 2010s, and superstar Stephen Curry definitely deserves a lot of credit for it.
In fact, even at 37, the impact on curry dubs is invaluable, as seen in the Warriors’ 4-1 second round loss against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
But before he became the global superstar of what he is today, the baby face-to-face assassin navigated a number of hurdles. Whether you get injured or make the same mistake.
Despite being considered the greatest shooter of all time, Curry took four years to win his first NBA All-Star appearance in his career.
Injuries played a major role in curling curry, but for another reason. The 4X NBA MVP discussed this in an interview with Slam Magazine on February 19, 2016.
“Three years ago, I couldn’t drive to the right or go to the right, the left hand dominated, so that was what I worked on almost everything during the two summers.
“If you gave me a one-on-one opportunity, 99% of me left. I think I’ve opened up other options, so I feel comfortable now offering that reconnaissance report,” Curry said.
He added: “That kind of thing helps me become a better player. Last summer, it was just about creating space.”
The results were clear as STEPH won the 2014-15 NBA regular season MVP award after working on his craft in the offseason. He averaged 23.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game.
Curry had already won the first NBA Championship in 2015 and the MVP of his career, but Curry has become an even better player.
He explained:
“We can get there in one step from here, especially in the playoffs. Next year we may add some post moves, but we have to gain weight.”
By the end of the 2015-16 season, Curry had made his name into NBA history. how? Well, he became the first player in league history to be named the unanimous NBA MVP.
He also led the Dub to a 73-9 record in the regular season, covering the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls with the most wins ever in a single campaign. Steph averaged 30.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 2.1 steel per game.
