NBA Inside The Player Of The Week (Dec. 1-7)

Hey, anybody know who this Stephen Curry fella is? I here that almost every shot he takes is cash money. I hear that every time he passes half-court, he is willing to shoot it. I hear that he broke Chris Paul's ankles last season. So who is this guy named Stephen Curry? Even if you don't watch NBA basketball, you have probably heard about him. Not only that, but why is everyone talking about Curry? Why is he so special? Here is why:

Curry has been amazing this week. He has completely just been flat out amazing for the Warriors. When you look at the Warriors 22-0 record, you have Stephen Curry to thank for a lot of it. Of Course, the Warriors went perfect again this week, so let's take a look at Curry's contributions to the team.

In 3 games, Curry had 28, 44, and 40 point performances. That itself pretty much really gives him this award. However, Curry's performance was not nearly finished. He shot so well from beyond the arc. He shot 22 for 35 from three point range last week. That is 62.8% from deep.

Just the fact that Curry was getting in the driving lanes made it so he was nearly impossible to guard. When you have a guy shooting as well from 3 as he is on layups, then he is bound to get backdoor cuts. Curry did well off pump fakes and just getting in the lane and taking it to the rim. There is just no guarding him. When a defender is within 2 feet of him, he is 50%. Yep, 50%. How is that even fair? If you look at any percentages on his shot dashboard, they are all over 50% of his shots. No matter the shot, he is making over 50% of them. Curry is just simply lighting it up.

One thing that Curry should watch out for is his turnovers. He accumulates 41% of his teams turnovers when he is on the floor. However, the Warriors could care less. Curry can turn the ball over as long as he still shoots as well as he has been shooting as well as he has from beyond the arc.

Congratulations to Stephen Curry on grabbing his second NBA Inside The Player Of The Week Award. He has earned it this week. It is likely that he will win many more of these awards if he keeps it up.
