IFWT_Steph Curry LeBron James

Stephen Curry joined The Dan Patrick Show and of course the topic of the MVP race came up.  Curry is one of the frontrunners along with James Harden and Russell Westbrook.  Curry said he believes players should have a vote in the race.  When asked who he would pick if he couldn’t choose himself or teammate Klay Thompson, he went with the King.

“I think [players] should have a portion of the vote,” Curry said. “Obviously, we’re the ones playing against each other and we know who’s having the best year and who’s doing things that, you know, really stand out.”

Host Dan Patrick pushed a bit further, asking Curry if he could anonymously vote for himself, would he do it?

“Yes,” Curry said.

How about if he couldn’t vote for himself or Klay Thompson? Curry went with LeBron James.

“If I can’t vote for myself or Klay, then…this year, I’d probably vote for LeBron,” Curry said.

“But he’s not…it’s weird that he’s not in the [MVP] conversation,” Patrick said. “I don’t understand that, Steph. If he’s the best player in the game, and the Cavs are, what, gonna be a No. 2 seed and maybe one of the two or three favorites to win it all…are we tired of LeBron James, that story?”

“I don’t know, I don’t follow that closely. I thought [James] was up there,” Curry said. “… He’s obviously one of the most talented guys on the face of the planet.”
