DAVIDSON, N.C. -- Davidson's all-time scoring leader and current Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry has been voted the NBA's 2014-15 Most Valuable Player, as officially announced Monday.
Â
In 2008-09, his final season with the Wildcats, Curry led the nation in scoring at 28.6 points per game. In addition to becoming Davidson's and the Southern Conference's all-time leading scorer, he currently ranks 25th on the NCAA Division I career scoring chart (2,635 points) and sixth in 3-pointers (414).
He was a Consensus First-Team All-America selection in his final season (The Sporting News, Associated Press, NABC and USBWA), the first Davidson player to earn the honor since Fred Hetzel in 1965, and a Consensus Second-Team All-American in 2008.
Curry helped the Wildcats to an 85-20 record and three postseason appearances during his three-year career. As a sophomore, he averaged 32.0 points a contest during Davidson's memorable run to the Elite Eight in the 2008 NCAA Tournament, where he was named Most Outstanding Player of the Midwest Region.
A two-time SoCon Player of the Year, Curry was a John R. Wooden Award finalist in 2009. He ranked fourth in the nation in scoring with 25.9 points a game as a sophomore, and his 21.5 points per game in 2006-07 was ninth nationally and second among freshman behind Kevin Durant (Texas), who was the league's MVP last year.
Curry, a two-time NBA All-Star, including the leading vote getter in 2015, averaged 23.8 points, 7.7 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 2.0 steals this season, while shooting 48.7 percent from the floor and 44.3 percent from 3-point range.
In addition, Curry broke his own record of 272 3-pointers, which he set in 2012-13, hitting 286 from beyond the arc, including the record-breaker in front of Davidson head coach Bob McKillop on April 9 against Portland.
