Warriors point guard Stephen Curry did things with the basketball that Michael Jordan couldn’t even do in ‘Space Jam.’
Well, it’s late February and the consensus has been in for awhile now: Golden State Warriors point guard is plain filthy.

In fact, he’s easily one of the top five players in the NBA and could be argued only LeBron James is a better player.
He should be the 2014-15 NBA MVP hands down.
Adding onto this sentiment is what Curry did tonight against the Washington Wizards.
Some might say, he performed a little wizardry against the Wizards.
With Wizards guard Ramon Sessions tasked with the unsatisfying job of guarding the MVP front-runner, Curry pulled off a combination dribble that every streetballer is right now practicing in the dead of the night on the blacktop.
He pulled this off: through the legs, behind the back, nasty crossover to a hesitation with a suspect use of a high pick which slipped to the basket.
All of it didn’t matter as he pulled up key high to drill the three.
While Curry’s as disgusting a shooter as he is, he’s that much better with his all-around game. Leading the league with 2.2 steals per game, an 11.7 +/- while shooting a superb 48.1 percent as a guard, it’s no wonder he’s considered in the same breathe as James.
Tonight though his Warriors are locked in a battle with the Wizards. Golden State currently leads by a slim three points with a little over nine minutes to go in regulation.
Curry has 27 points and seven assists thus far on the night.
