Stephen Curry shows why he deserves to be the MVP this year
The Los Angeles Lakers were one of the best defensive teams in the league all year long, but that will not phase Stephen Curry one bit. He did only average 23.0 PPG against the Lakers during the regular season, about 9.0 PPG less than his season average, but Curry has been on a tear over the last month or so and has shown no signs of slowing up.

He won the scoring title this year and since the start of March, Curry has scored 20+ points in 26 of the 29 games he has played in since then, including 15 games with 30+ points and 8 games with 40+ points.
The Lakers’ defense may be good, but Stephen Curry is showing everybody right now why he is one of the greatest players of all-time. You just cannot do anything to stop Curry when he is making shots and even though he will likely see a double-team almost the entire game, it would not be surprising to see Curry still put up 30+ points in this one against Los Angeles.
The only chance the Warriors have to win this game is if Stephen Curry has another monster game and can score 30+ points. As a result, he will have the ball in his hands all game long and the Warriors will do everything they can to get him as many shots as possible.
