Tom Brady respects greatness so naturally he has a lot of respect for Steph Curry’s unanimous MVP season.

Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry recently joined an extremely exclusive club when he was named the unanimous NBA Most Valuable Player. Very few players have ever been named the unanimous MVP in any sport. It’s kind of amazing that Curry is the first unanimous NBA MVP considering all the great players that the NBA has had. Even Michael Jordan never got a unanimous MVP.

Curry’s season was special for sure. A lot of people realize that. Tom Brady, who is a member of the unanimous MVP club after winning it in 2010, is one of those people.

"“He is such a dominant player and so much fun to watch,” Brady said, via CSN New England. “I grew up loving the Warriors and can’t believe they are achieving the type of success now that they never did in the past.”"

Curry’s dominance is something that the NBA has never seen before because of how he does it. Sure, Jordan was a heck of a shooter and an excellent defensive player. Shaq had an extremely limited set of moves and it didn’t matter because nobody could stop him anyway.

Kobe Bryant might be the most cold-blooded killer in NBA history. LeBron James could probably play in the NFL if he really wanted. Curry’s dominance is unique because he’s doing it by shooting three pointers. He shoots three-pointers better than most players shoot two-pointers.
