Will a 3rd MVP Put Curry In the Top 10?

[8Ball]

Inside hoops currently places Curry top 12.

With a 3rd MVP this year it will be 5 years since his last MVP.


3 MVPs.
3 Championships.
7×*NBA All-Star*(2014–2019,*2021)
4×*All-NBA First Team*(2015,*2016,*2019,*2021)
2×*All-NBA Second Team*(2014,*2017)
All-NBA Third Team*(2018)
3 point makes all time record.


He surpasses Kobe and Hakeem and should rightfully be top 10 all time.

3 MVP’s, 3 superstar titles, potentially 3 scoring titles, that’s a magnificent resume. If I were to nitpick, which you kind of have to to separate these players, his titles did occur under the easiest circumstances imaginable. Overwhelming talent advantage in every series, critical injuries to opponents, and he had the luxury of being the distant 3rd best player in the Finals for 2 of his titles.

I understand why KD gets the brunt of the criticism for his Golden State titles, he joined a ready made title team, Curry was the engine, the Warriors laughable W-L record without him. But it makes no sense for Durant’s titles not to count, but to give Curry’s last 2 full legitimacy.

Curry deserved FMVP in 2015.

If not, at least the '12th' spot ISH ranked him should feel more justified for the doubters.

No, it would not.

Curry is the best shooter ever and a great overall scorer, but he is not a good defender and his passing ability is fairly mediocre for PG.

Making it to the top 10 is not only about rings, and his overall resume is top-20 but not top-10, which won't be changed by getting one more ring.

It’d be a weak fmvp if anything. I agree he was the Warrior’s best player by far, but Lebron was also better than Curry by far. How really deserving of fmvp are you if you were THAT far off from being the series’ best player?

No, he wasn't. Lebron being amazing in that series is one of the worst takes ever. Dude shot 47% TS on single coverage all series, some of the worst shooting series in the history of an NBA final.

If you are looking for a current player who has a shot at making the top 10, you should look at Giannis rather than Steph. It would obviously take more than 1 additional ring for Giannis to get there, but he is still young, and he has already proven himself capable of dominating all aspects of the game.

I always thought Harden deserved MVP in 2015.

[LeCola]

Lebron is around 9-10.

One mvp will not make him better than Lebron.

[dankok8]

I think he solidifies top 15 and could go as high as #12. I don't see him in the top 10 yet.

the nba just created a rule system designed specifically to help him and his team beat guys who drive to the basket


the 2010s had a rule system put in place to benefit lebron/Durant/kawhi and now it's to benefit curry


and he needs at least 2 finals mvps to make the top 10. more regular season front runner awards won't do anything for him

iggy had lebron shooting 29% from outside 5 feet lmao

before he started the cavs were on the way to winning the series. how can a guy be finals mvp if he had zero impact on the wins and losses

Curry won 73 games in 2016. His 2016 MVP is worth more than almost any regular season MVP.


The 2016 season will go down in history as the defining year where basketball was forever changed. He single handedly changed the entire game.
