1. Stephen Curry

Stephen Curry is poised to dominate this league once again. We saw glimpses of old Curry throughout last year’s playoffs after Kevin Durant got injured in the midst of the Rockets series and it was exciting. Steph in his time without Durant in the playoffs was electrifying which should have all Curry diehards at the edge of their seats come late October.

These last few years Curry has been nothing short of special but his game is about to be elevated to all new heights. Stephen Curry is likely ecstatic about the upcoming season with the opportunity to cement his legacy. He’s been questioned recently with how talented the players around him have been, but now there’s no excuses.

The Warriors are riding heavily on the shoulders of Curry once again and he’s ready to conquer the league. Steph is going to be putting up ridiculous numbers with KD gone and the absence of Klay Thompson while his knee heals. The shot attempts for Curry will likely be at an all-time high for his career. If Steph doesn’t excel, then the Warriors don’t stand a chance and Curry definitely has an understanding of this.

Curry is as lethal as they come with the ball in hand. The man can score from anywhere on the court and I mean ANYWHERE. His ability to score from all three levels on offense is breathtaking. He’s as crafty as they come around the basket and his floater is one of a kind. His mid-range and three point capabilities are as pure as the eye has ever seen and will most likely not be matched.

The most important season for Stephen Curry is almost underway and the return of MVP Curry is coming. The league must be terrified for what’s to come and should be ready for Chef Curry to be the scoring champion once again.
