Most Valuable Player: Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors

Votes: 96.2%

Season Averages: 34.2 MPG, 30.1 PPG, 6.7 APG, 5.4 RPG, 2.1 SPG, 5.1 3PM

The Golden State Warriors have completed what was, arguably, the greatest regular season in NBA history. At the heart of that success was Stephen Curry, who built upon his 2014-15 MVP campaign and produced one of the greatest individual seasons in NBA history.

As if there were any chance of a different outcome, Curry was named HoopsHabit’s 2016 MVP with an overwhelming 96.2 percent of the votes.

According to Basketball-Reference.com, Curry is the first player in NBA history to average at least 25.0 points on a slash line of .500/.450/.900 or better. Furthermore, his Player Efficiency Rating of XX.XX is No. X all-time, for those who value that statistic.

Across the board, Curry had a season that will be spoken about for years to come.

Curry was a mile ahead of the pack in both Win Shares and Win Shares per 48 minutes. He had three 50-point games, 12 outings with at least 40 points, and a pair of triple-doubles during his remarkable run to his current status as the most feared scorer in the game.

Many players had sensational seasons, including the likes of Kevin Durant, Draymond Green—No. 1 in the NBA in net rating—LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard, and Russell Westbrook, but Curry is very clearly the 2016 NBA MVP.

Others Receiving Votes: Draymond Green (3.8 percent)
