1. He’s a team player

Watching Curry on the court is like watching something out of a movie. What do I mean by this? Well, the point guard is one of the best team players in the entire league, making his teammates so much better with every move and every single decision.

Curry is a facilitator and one of the better passers in all of the NBA. He always gets his teammates involved and even averaged 7.7 assists per game while scoring the 23.8 points.

He flat-out makes everyone on the court better — except the opponents who look silly guarding him.

Combining with Draymond Green and Klay Thompson, Curry has helped create one of the best trios in the league and he may be the main reason the Warriors win the NBA title — if, in fact, they do so.

Steph was one of the best assist men in the league and he almost single-handedly helped turn Green from an average role player into a star. Never once has anyone called Steph selfish because that would, in fact, be a lie. This guy is one of the easiest people to root for and he never does anything to tarnish his name on or off the court.
