Stephen Curry is a dangerous scorer. The Warriors MVP has a deep offensive arsenal and various numbers of jaw-dropping moves by which he could go on a scoring rampage. Over the course of his illustrious career, very few defenders have been able to contain Chef Curry from going on a scoring outburst.
However, that’s not the case with Steph on Christmas Days. Throughout his career, Curry has played on a festive day a whopping 8 times. And in those games, the 2-time MVP has managed to average only 13.1 points, 6.8 assists, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.5 steals on 30.2 percent shooting from the field and 20.4 percent shooting from 3-point range. With his best game coming back in 2015 when he scored 19 points, The Baby-Faced Assassin has never, surprisingly, scored 20 points or more.
Calling his Christmas Days performance awful would be an understatement. However, tonight, the Warriors leader decided to change that narrative. In GSW’s 116-107 win over the Suns, SC30 put up 33 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 steals, and a block on a decent 37/31.3/89 shooting split.

Curry can’t seem to slow down. Over the past 4 games, Stephen has been averaging 34.7 points and 4.5 assists (all wins). Without any doubt, the sharpshooter is the frontrunner for the MVP honors.
