I don't have anything against him, but I don't get all the love for him. A really good score. But we've seen many of them throughout the years. Mediocre on defense. I don't even understand how he was a unanimous pick for MVP this year.
He deserved the MVP I think, but I agree that it shouldn't have been unanimous.
Any year LeBron James is in the NBA and he doesn't win MVP, there shouldn't be a unanimous winner.
Steph is the greatest shooter of all time. Which is great, but many fans and media members are getting ahead of themselves and lumping him into a "greatest player of all time" category, to which he has no business belonging.
Steph Curry is in the league and in the right place at the right time. The NBA is becoming more and more of a finesse game and more about the 3 ball. The game is getting smaller, quicker, and faster; all of which benefit Steph. It's also becoming more and more soft. In the 80s, 90s, early 00s, he'd be an easy stop. Just be physical with him on both ends of the court. Physically, Steph couldn't handle it. But in today's game he's essentially protected like Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.
I don't want to sound like a Steph-hater, because I love watching him play. I just think most fans and the media needs to be more realistic in their evaluation of Steph in the big picture.
That said, I'm definitely pulling for the Thunder and am a huge Westbrook fan.
