Stephen Curry has been on a complete tear this year. Here are five reasons the Golden State Warriors point guard needs MVP consideration. 

In the NBA there hasn’t been a player better than the Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry. Not only does Curry have the Warriors with the second best record in the Western Conference, they also have the third best record in the NBA. What’s even more impressive is that Curry is thriving under new head coach Steve Kerr, and is making people realize the Mark Jackson dismissal wasn’t such a bad idea.

Curry is killing his competition in many ways and is picking up right where he left off last season when he achieved career highs in points and assists. The Warriors are a legitimate NBA Championship contender and have one of the best chances to breakthrough to the 2015 NBA Finals. Because of all the team success that the Warriors have we would be remiss if we didn’t pay Curry homage.

Before I get hit with the “It’s been less than 20 games” line, listen.

Curry isn’t going to fizzle out like how Paul George did last year when in the first month George looked like the clear-cut winner of the MVP trophy. If Curry wants to make the playoffs he’s going to have to continue to play at a high level and perhaps even higher, his numbers will increase and so will his team’s win total.

Here are five reasons why Stephen Curry needs serious MVP consideration.
