Shaquille O’Neal discusses plans for MVP with Stephen Curry

Stephen Curry is coming off one of the best seasons of his career. He averaged 32 points per game, led the league in scoring, and finished top 3 in the MVP race. Many feel that he was snubbed for the MVP award, but Curry has moved on from that. From what we’ve seen in the preseason, and tonight, Steph doesn’t look like he has missed a beat.

Talking to Shaquille O’Neal after the game, the two discussed Steph’s plans for the season, and the MVP honors. Shaq started by talking about the MVP selection process. While Chuck(Charles Barkley) and Kenny believe it is based on the team record, while Shaq believes it is based on individual performances. Shaq then added that he thought Curry should have been the MVP last year, and asked him if he’s going to chase that trophy this year.

Curry replied and said,

“I don’t know how y’all described it back in your day, but if you’re doing what you’re supposed to do, that is the end result. Affecting winning, leading the team on the court, off the court. Just trying to find ways to elevate your game. I mean, that’s always a part of the mission, it’s not so much as the vision, you know the MVP trophy everytime you step on the floor. It’s the expectation of how you’re supposed to play every night, and that’s MVP type caliber expectation… I always have that.”
