NBA Fans React to Steph Curry Award News

In this story:
Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry is truly a one-of-a-kind talent to have graced the NBA. While there are plenty of talented three-point shooters like James Harden, Klay Thompson, and Damian Lillard who have played in his era, nobody wows fans more than Curry when it comes to shot-making.
Despite being arguably the second-best player of his era behind LeBron James, Curry never participated for Team USA in the Olympics until 2024. When he got the opportunity, though, he didn't look back, putting on a memorable performance that now has him in contention for a major honor.
GOLDEN.
