We are one-third through with the 2022-23 NBA season, and so far, the 2022 NBA Champions haven’t had the season they would’ve expected. 27 games into the season, the Warriors have a 14-13 record as they head out on a six-game Eastern road trip. Despite their start, they have one person to be grateful for, Stephen Curry.

The 2x MVP is averaging 30 points, 6.6 rebounds, and seven assists a game. He’s doing so while maintaining 50-40-90 splits from the floor.

Apart from displaying his brilliance on the court, Steph has also been busy giving back to the community. For the 10th year in a row, Steph, along with wife Ayesha Curry, hosted Christmas With The Currys.
10 years!!! Unbelievable journey so far w/ @ayeshacurry and @eatlearnplay. Our 10th #ChristmaswiththeCurrys brought together local families and heroes for the city of Oakland. Thank you to @kpthrive, @Workday and Aneel Bhusri, all our partners and volunteers for the support 🙌🏽🎄 pic.twitter.com/PTVwZyaxxp

During the same, there was a moment with his son Canon that Steph shared on his Instagram.
NBA Twitter reacts to Canon hitting Stephen Curry with a snowball
Canon Curry is just 4-years-old and is already a staple in the media. While most of the time, there are clips of him attending his dad’s home games, there are a lot of clips of him being naughty as well.
Steph took it to his IG to share the same, where we could see Canon throwing a snowball right to Steph’s face at point-blank range.

With the Warriors heading out for a six-game road trip, Steph would relish this fun time before he comes back home for Christmas.

With Stephen Curry playing the way he has been, there is high chance that he can make an MVP case for himself. However, the biggest obstacle in his path would be his team’s performance.
While MVP wouldn’t be what’s on Steph’s mind, with the team trying to defend their title, it would be nice recognition for his historical season at age 34.
