GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS’ Steph Curry will be named NBA Most Valuable Player for the second consecutive year, according to reports.
The 28-year-old point guard led the Warriors to an NBA record 73-win season, establishing themselves as one of the greatest teams in NBA history.
This year, Curry also broke his own single-season NBA record for 3-pointers with 402 after recording 286 in 2014-15.
Curry is the 13th player in NBA history to win back-to-back MVP awards, joining the likes of LeBron James, Tim Duncan and Steve Nash.
This news, reported by ESPN’s Mark Stein, comes as the Warriors face the Portland Trail Blazers in the Western Conference semi-finals. Curry, who has been injured, is expected to return for Game 4 tonight.
The official announcement of the NBA MVP title is set to take place later this week.

On form lar has no business starting. Maybe there is a big game in him yet this year
Yeah but he will take watching all the same.
Yearra the way he is playing you could watch him handy from the upper davin
Oh I can’t fookin wait!
No Mickey Cahill! I’d rate him one of the best hurlers going. Never seen him play a bad game and always picks up the opposition’s top inside forward.
O’Shea must have serious faith in these boys.
My biggest worry is if someone of the likes of bonnar or Callanan get injured or aren’t performing we don’t have the strength in depth to replace them. Backs are okay but kk have much more strength in depth all over the pitch. It’s an 18 man game now
Doubt it makes a difference what Team he picks..
Think people are a bit misguided on Tipp’s strength in depth, we have Jason Forde, Niall O’Meara and Dinny Maher to spring of the bench if needed. Another with potential is Colin O’Riordan or Shane Bourke who had a good league campaign. On form Lar and Noel McGrath probably shouldn’t be selected but we don’t see every training. I have been their biggest critic but can only hope there’s a big game in both on Sunday.. Its going to a be cracking game on Sunday all the same… so many questions, so many moving parts..
Just what I wanted to hear, as long as Lar Corbett plays, we’ll be playing 14 men :)
Tell that to Noel Hickey! Hel be quick to tell you what Lar can do!
* could
There won’t be much sign of you Gavin on this site Sunday night I can tell ya after that comment..
