May 10, 2016, marked a momentous day in the career of Warriors guard Stephen Curry: he was not only awarded his second consecutive NBA Most Valuable Player award, but also became the first person to receive the award by unanimous vote.
The NBA’s MVP voting was conducted by polling 130 voting members of the media and one granted to fans via online voting. All were asked to rank their top five MVP nominees from first to fifth. In 2016, all 131 ballots ranked Stephen Curry in first place.
The award capped off a season in which Curry averaged a career- and league-high 30.
