Age: 27

Slash Line:

Season Averages:

Stephen Curry can hit a shot from anywhere on a basketball court, and there’s no reason to debate that anymore. He’s the greatest shooter off-the-bounce in NBA history, and that makes him the most difficult player to defend in 2015-16.

More goes into being the best player in the world than scoring, but when no one can stop you, the rest begins to fall by the wayside.

More hoops habit: LeBron James may leave Cleveland again. Where might he end up?

Curry has the MVP award all but wrapped up.
