On April 26, the NBA officially continued to launch the season individual awards, and Curry won the key player of the season award.
In the 2023-24 season, Stephen Curry scored 189 points in key moments (within 5 points in the last 5 minutes), first in the league, 59 goals in key moments, first in the league, and 32 three-point shots in key moments, first in history!
At the age of 36, Curry can still play the big heart, which can be described as old and strong.
Ironically, Curry has repeatedly staged heroic moments at key moments, why did the Warriors rank 10th in the West and ultimately miss the playoffs?
There are two reasons for this.
First, his teammates are not strong, Wiggins is sluggish, Thompson is blindly shooting, and Green is causing trouble......
The strength of the Warriors, in one sentence, against the other 29 teams in the league, is basically 55 open, whether it is a strong team or a weak team.
The second is that Curry is indeed old, and he can indeed make key three-pointers and complete difficult layups in the last 5 minutes of the game with a difference of less than 5 points.
But Curry has staged the story of "success and Curry, defeat and Curry" in many games.
He threw the key balls, and he made the mistakes. Curry often makes turnovers when opponents press defense.
If he was 2-3 years ago, it was Ku Ritian, with delicate dribbling skills and abundant physical strength, it was difficult for opponents to defend.
Now, Lian is quite old, and Curry is no longer as brave as he used to be.
However, having said that, it is precisely because Curry can still become a key man in the league that it shows that as long as Curry is here, the Warriors still have hope of hitting the championship in the next 2 years.
It depends on how the Warriors operate this summer, if they can introduce a second star with a big core of the ball + a young rim-protecting center, the Warriors will make a comeback next season.
