1. Stephen Curry

The best shooter of all-time. The best player on one of the greatest regular season team ever. Stephen Curry is a special talent.

Curry has broken almost every single 3-point shooting record in the books and even though he struggled during the NBA Finals, he still deserves the title of best point guard in the game.

Curry was the first unanimous NBA MVP ever. He has been fantastic for the past two seasons. Some may argue that he is not an all-around player, but I would have to disagree.

Curry is a good passer. He has averaged just less than 6.9 assists per game and averaged 4.3 rebounds per game for his career. He had career-high totals in rebounds and in steals. Showing he is not a bad defender. He may not be able to shutdown the top guards, but he is not a major liability on that end of the floor.

Love him or hate him, it is impossible to deny Curry is one of the special talents in the NBA.
