MVP Stephen Curry thanks teammates individually

Curry thanks teammates

Stephen Curry gave a stirring and emotional thank-you speech after receiving the MVP award Monday. But when he got to his teammates, he discarded his notes.

“You need to be highlighted as part of this process,” said Curry. “Hopefully another trophy will be sitting here in a couple of months.”

Here are excerpts of what Curry said to each player:

Leandro Barbosa: “Whatever you’re called to do, you’re the ultimate professional.”

Shaun Livingston: “A lot of times, it might not show up with eye-popping numbers on the stat sheet, but you help us win games every single night and are a big part of what we are.
