Armstrong added that Curry isn’t getting easy chances to score. He’s playing against heavy defenses in whichever game he plays. Despite this, he’s finding ways to get to the basket. Furthermore, Steph is scoring with great versatility, which makes guarding him even harder.

Armstrong added, “They’re defending him from the moment he gets off the bus. And he still finds a way to get that shot off. And he’s doing it in such a variety of ways that now you just admire. He doesn’t even need space. Most of us need space, or most of the players need space. He just seems like he’s chucking these things up and they’re just going in.”

Is Curry an MVP contender?

Armstrong pointed out that there are very few players who have multiple games of 10+ three-pointers in their career, whereas Stephen Curry has had multiple games like that in the last week. While Armstrong doesn’t believe that makes him an MVP contender, fans should marvel at Curry right now.

“I think there’s only been three or four players who’ve had five or more (players with) over 10 threes in a game. He’s had five or six in the last week. This is incredible, what we’re seeing… It’s almost comical the way he is playing… I don’t know if it’s an MVP, but certainly, if you are a fan of shooting, watch him, because we may never see this again,” Armstrong said.
