Stephen Curry Named 2015-16 MVP: Top Takeaways from Star’s Press Conference

Stephen Curry was awarded the 2015-16 NBA MVP award on Tuesday evening as the first player in league history to be voted the unanimous winner, per Marc Stein of ESPN.com.   

“To be the first unanimous MVP award winner, I don’t even know how to put into words,” Curry said, per Jimmy Durkin of the Bay Area News Group. “It’s a huge honor.”

There were a few common themes that ran throughout Curry’s press conference. There was the fact that Curry, behind the scenes, is just as good a man as Curry the basketball player.

“You are the epitome of someone who is loved the most by the people who know you the best,” general manager Bob Myers said to Curry during the press conference, per Rusty Simmons of the San Francisco Chronicle.

He added, per Janie McCauley of the Associated Press: “It’s very hard not to like you. I find it impossible.”

There was the fact that Curry’s run to superstardom—and really, to being one of the most influential players in recent memory, given how he’s changed the game—was seemingly improbable a decade ago. His head coach, Steve Kerr, discussed his transformation, per Durkin:

Steve Kerr recalls Sonya Curry asking him while Steph was in college if he though Curry could make it in the league.
