Payton says unanimous Curry MVP ‘about era’

Former NBA veteran and nine-time All-Star Gary Payton says the fact Stephen Curry’s MVP was the first via unanimous vote might be more a reflection of the times than his dominance relative to other MVPs.
Payton, speaking in interviews with Sports Illustrated Now and SiriusXM, said Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar were also worthy of the distinction and that the Curry vote was “about era.”
“I think all of those guys were unanimous decisions, too,” Payton said. “It just happened in an era that went his way.”
