It’s official: Steph Curry has changed basketball. That’s not to say it wasn’t obvious before, it’s just that now it’s in the record books as indisputable fact.
Curry was voted the first ever unanimous MVP, a feat that eluded even Michael Jordan and Lebron James. In fact, it’s an achievement so rare that there are only two other athletes the major American sports that have ever done it; the NHL’s Wayne Gretzky in 1982 and the NFL’s Tom Brady in 2010. Curry joins an incredibly elite group, and the honor is all the more impressive when you look at the legendary players that have come before him.
