DAVIDSON, N.C. – For the second consecutive season, Davidson's all-time leading scorer and current Golden State Warrior Stephen Curry has been voted the NBA's Most Valuable Player, as officially announced Tuesday.
A three-time NBA All-Star, Curry is just the 11th player in the league's 70-year existence to win back-to-back MVP honors. He joins Steve Nash and Magic Johnson as the only point guards to win the award multiple times.
In addition to leading the Warriors to an NBA record 73 wins, Curry broke his record for 3-pointers in a single season with 402, while joining Steve Nash as the only players in league history to shoot at least 50 percent from the floor, 45 percent from 3-point range and 90 percent from the free-throw line.
Despite playing just 34.2 minutes per game, Curry led the league in scoring, averaging 30.1 points.
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.
Recently voted to the SoCon Hall of Fame, 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 in 2013-14.
