Warriors guard is among the contenders for Sports Illustrated’s Sportsman of the Year.
The winner will be announced Dec. 14, but if the reader’s poll is any indication, it won’t be him. Curry is receiving only two percent of the votes, with 44 percent of the readers voting for American Pharoah, and 33 percent voting for the Kansas City Royals.
But if a Bay Area athlete is to win for the second straight year (the Giants’ Madison Bumgarner took home the award last December), Sports Illustrated’s Lee Jenkins is making the case in Monday’s magazine story.
