Stephen Curry is in the midst of the most successful season of his NBA career. Not only did he lead all voting for the All-Star Game and capture league MVP, but he’s also in the middle of an NBA Finals run where his Golden State Warriors are heavily favored over the injury-riddled Cleveland Cavaliers.
