Stephen Curry’s EXTREMELY Underrated 2015 MVP Season and Title Run

Regular Season:

23.8 PPG, 4.3 RPG, 7.7 APG, 2.0 SPG, 0.2 BPG, 48.7 FG%, 44.3 3P%, 91.4 FT%, 59.4 eFG%, 63.8 TS%

At first, Curry’s basic numbers are not eye popping.

But then when you consider the fact that he played only 32.7 MPG (lowest by any MVP ever) you begin to understand why the numbers don’t look as eye popping as they actually are.

Iguodala was awarded the FMVP for the series despite Currys great series. A good deal of this was because of Curry’s terrible game 2. Outside of game 2, for the series Curry averaged:

27.4 PPG, 5.0 RPG, 6.6 APG, 2.2 SPG, 0.2 BPG, 49.4 FG%, 46.0 3P%, 88.9 FT%, 61.1 eFG%, 64.1 TS%
