3. Stephen Curry

Games: 3

PPG: 30

FG: 31/60 (51.6%)

3PT: 15/32 (46.8%)

When Curry isn’t cashing out on  30 footers, breaking someone’s ankles/pride, or throwing ridiculous left-handed passes, he resides on Gunner Island. He already has two Gunner of the Week Awards sitting on his bedside table, but if he isn’t the winner, he can be found somewhere on this list.

Curry had two 30-point performances in the past three games, but is best showing came against the Atlanta Hawks when he finished with 36 points to go along with eight assists and six rebounds. Oh yeah, and he had this insane left-handed pitch to Harrison Barnes for a trey:

He continues to invent new ways to shoot, pass, and dribble nightly, it seems. And I am completely okay with that. I could go on and on about how spectacular he is, but I’m sure you have seen/heard enough to make my argument pretty strong.

Four of the next five games are against playoff teams (two games with Oklahoma City). It’ll go one of two ways, the Warriors will start to feel the effects of the rigorous schedule, or they’ll end up blowing each team out by 20.
