Kia and the NBA have continued to strengthen their relationship over the past several years, and now the NBA Most Valuable Player Award is sponsore by Kia.
While there were several canditdates, for the 2015-2016 season, there was really only one answer for the league's MVP Award, and the is Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors.
Granted, Curry is the reigning league MVP, but as long as Lebron James is still in the leaguek it's hard to consider anyone to be an odds-on favorite for the honors headin into the season, let alone a repeat winner. When considering Curry's achievements this year, however, there was only one clear choice.
Curry became the first player since Larry Bird in the 1984-1985 season to improve his scoring average in the year after winning the MVP. Curry also shattered his own record for 3-pointers in a season, knocking down 10 in the final game of the regulary season, leaving him with a ridiculous total of 402 for the year. His 3-point shooting percentage of 45% is equally mind-boggling.
All of this happened in a year where the Golden State Warriors eclipsed the Chicago Bulls record for regular-season wins- a record many thought would never be topped. At this point, all that is left if for Curry and the Warriors to be Lebron and the Caveliers in the NBA Finals to put the topper on a historic season.
