I don't want to make excuses for him, but Curry had a pretty significant injury in the first round of the playoffs. I don't think he ever had completely recovered, regardless of what he or Kerr say.
That said, I'm very happy for the Cavs. I didn't really have a preference in this series, but leaned toward the Cavs as it went on.
Well, his performance in the playoffs had no baring on that award. It was pretty cut and dry he was the MVP during the regular.
But it just goes to show, the regular season in the NBA doesn't mean much.
Lebron almost had the Warriors on the ropes last year with Irving and Love out hurt. Nobody cared then but blowing a game 7 at home as the winningest team in regular season history is a huge choke. Lebron is great, one of the top few all time, but that was a classic choke job. They burned out going for the record and the Lebron/Kyrie show manhandled them.
Yeah, the fact that those guys were all competing against each other to win it is totally not a factor. An MVP award is given based on your performance relative to your peers, not the ghosts of NBA seasons past. And from Game 1-Game 82, Curry was the clear MVP.

Wow, I just read that LeBron lead both teams in points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks for the entire series. First time that's happened in any series. Crazy, he just did it all
Anybody else see Skip Bayless' tweet? Guy is clueless. Wish I could make millions and have awful opinions
Today will be his last show at ESPN thankfully. Also I heard the city with the longest title drought with 3 pro teams in it now belongs to Minneapolis.
Cleveland vs Iowa City...
The internet, where diarrhea of the mouth is expected. Gives third rate talking heads like skip a medium to say whatever they want.

One Crown Vic cruiser damaged, shots fired and one person hit in ankle, one police officer hit by a car treated and released and an impromptu dance party on a ladder truck. Pretty normal Sunday evening.
The republicans will cause far greater trouble. Police did not get in any good riot practice.

LeBron is arguably one of the top 10 players of all time, and last I checked he played during this regular season. None of the voters thought he was worthy of having at least 1 vote lobbed his way this season?
Top ten?, no way he's outside the top 3-4.
No way should Curry be unanimous but it is regular season.
Once Curry is worn down/beat up he's basically horse shots and turnovers.
Yep, not even a player as a #1 seed vs. a #8 seed in a three game first round series. What an amazing, all time performance out of James this year. And even scarier, it TOOK an amazing, all time performance from James to knock off GSW. Anything less and Golden State is back to back champs.
MVP voting is a farce. Both James and Jordan should easily have 3-4 more MVP trophies. Voters for NBA MVP are almost as big a joke as voters for Baseball Hall of Fame.
I think Curry's game is more suited to dominating a regular season than dominating the playoffs and finals. Still they won and title and nearly another because they have such a talented team with so many weapons.
The individual players who typically dominate the playoffs are physical beasts or they BECOME physical beasts as a way to get though this thing. Jordan and Kobe scored a ton as thin athletic high flyers out of the gate in the playoffs but they became consistent winners in the playoffs when they bulked up. Then you've got guys like Shaq and LeBron who are physical mismatches from day one, Magic was a beast compared to the guards he could line up against.
Curry could heat up and carry a team to a title, he could have crazy scoring averages in the regular season, but I don't ever see his playoff scoring INCREASING over his regular season scoring the way shooting guards like MJ, Kobe and Wade could. He's a unique player who is good for the game, but we've seen him in the NBA finals a lot now and the show doesn't fully translate from regular season to the playoffs.
