Curry wins NBA’s MVP award

A person familiar with the decision says Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry has won the NBA’s Most Valuable Player award. An official announcement is expected today, and Curry will be presented with the award before Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals against Memphis on Tuesday night. He beat out Houston’s James Harden, Cleveland’s LeBron James and Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook for the league’s most coveted individual award. Curry carried the top-seeded Warriors to a franchise-record 67 wins and surpassed his own record for most 3-pointers in a season. He’s the franchise’s first MVP since Wilt Chamberlain in 1960, when the Warriors played in Philadelphia. – Associated Press
