Stephen Curry’s MVP Chances Dwindle Despite Strong Season
Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry is once again dazzling fans with his elite performance during the 2024–25 NBA season. Averaging 24.2 points, 6.0 assists, and 4.4 rebounds per game, Curry has also made over 300 three-pointers for the sixth time in his career—an NBA record.
However, despite his impressive stats, Curry’s chances of winning a third MVP award this season are slim. The Warriors currently sit sixth in the Western Conference with a 47-33 record, a respectable standing but not typically strong enough to sway MVP voters who favor players on top-seeded teams.
The MVP race is currently dominated by Oklahoma City Thunder’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who leads the pack with commanding odds of -2500. Nikola Jokić of the Denver Nuggets is also a strong contender, further complicating Curry’s shot at the title. Betting markets now list Curry as a long shot, with odds as high as +30000.
While an MVP win appears unlikely, Curry’s impact on the court remains undeniable. His leadership, clutch shooting, and continued excellence ensure he remains one of the league’s most influential players. As the Warriors gear up for the playoffs, Curry’s focus will likely shift from personal accolades to team success.
