In a stunning and well-deserved victory, Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry has officially been named the 2025 NBA Most Valuable Player, marking yet another monumental chapter in his already legendary career. The announcement was made earlier today by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, sparking a wave of celebration across the league and among fans worldwide.

This marks Curry’s third MVP award, having previously secured the prestigious title in 2015 and 2016—the latter in unanimous fashion, a feat never accomplished before or since. But unlike the earlier honors that recognized a sharpshooter revolutionizing the game, the 2025 MVP is a tribute to Curry’s resilience, leadership, and evolution as a player in the latter stages of his career.

At 37 years old, Curry becomes the oldest MVP winner since Karl Malone won the award at age 35 in 1999. His performance this season has been nothing short of extraordinary, averaging 29.8 points, 7.3 assists, and 4.9 rebounds per game. More impressively, Curry maintained 50/45/90 shooting splits for most of the season, setting a new standard for shooting efficiency.

“I’m honored, I’m humbled, and I’m just thankful,” Curry said during the press conference following the announcement. “This award means a lot to me, not just for what it represents individually, but because it’s a reflection of what we’ve built in Golden State over the years. I couldn’t have done it without my teammates, coaches, my family, and the fans.”

A Season to Remember

The Warriors, once again under the guidance of head coach Steve Kerr, finished the regular season with a 58-24 record, second-best in the Western Conference. Curry was the engine behind this success, often putting the team on his back during crucial stretches. With longtime teammates like Draymond Green and Klay Thompson in more supportive roles, Curry adapted his game masterfully—scoring when needed, facilitating for younger stars, and mentoring the team’s new generation.

His crowning moment came during a nationally televised clash against the Denver Nuggets, when he dropped 54 points, including a game-winning three-pointer over Nikola Jokić. That performance, alongside countless clutch moments throughout the season, became symbolic of his determination to continue competing at the highest level.

Beyond the Numbers

Curry’s influence goes beyond statistics. His leadership in the locker room, dedication to fitness, and mentoring of younger players like Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody have been instrumental in the Warriors’ resurgence. More than anything, this MVP win is a celebration of sustained greatness—of a player who refused to fade quietly into the background as the league got younger and faster.

“Steph is still changing the game,” said Coach Kerr. “He’s the same guy who changed basketball ten years ago, but now he’s also the wise veteran showing the next generation how it’s done. He earned this MVP with heart, skill, and an unbelievable work ethic.”

Legacy Cemented

With this award, Curry enters a new echelon of basketball history. He becomes one of only a handful of players to win an MVP at 37 or older, joining names like Michael Jordan, Karl Malone, and LeBron James. He also becomes the first player in Warriors franchise history to win three MVPs.

NBA legends and current players alike took to social media to praise Curry. Kevin Durant tweeted, “Still the baddest shooter alive. Congrats to my brother @StephenCurry30.” Even rivals like Luka Dončić and Jayson Tatum posted tributes, calling the win “well-earned” and “inspirational.”

What’s Next?

With the playoffs in full swing, Curry and the Warriors now shift focus toward what could be a storybook ending to a historic season. If the Warriors can capture another championship, it would be Curry’s fifth—and perhaps the most meaningful.

For now, the basketball world celebrates the ageless wonder, the maestro of the three-point line, and the face of a generation. Stephen Curry is the 2025 NBA MVP, and o

nce again, he’s done it in style.
