It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out Steph Curry had a pretty good year. It really doesn’t even take that much analysis to figure out Curry played better than any other basketball player this year. We all know and understand these things.

What I’d like to suggest to you today is that Steph Curry has had the best year ever. Full stop.
Consider everything that has gone his way this season:
He had an almost perfect year at the office
Let’s run through the accolades:
- Won the MVP award.
- Was the leading vote-getter for the 2015 All-Star Game.
- All-NBA First Team.
- Won the 3-Point Shootout against arguably the greatest shootout field in contest history.
- Set the NBA record for most three-pointers made in a season.
- Has already been “on fire” by NBA Jam rules five different times this season.
- Finished with the best record in the NBA in the 14-15 season.
- Won the NBA championship without even really breaking that much of a sweat.
- Having a better scoring season than any season Michael Jordan ever put together.
- Curry is 84-16 (.840 winning percentage) in regular season and playoff games from Jan. 1 through Dec. 21.
He has the coolest boss right now
Steve Kerr is pretty chill, but he’s no Luke Walton. He probably lets Curry play Xbox during practice and brings in donuts every day because he’s just a cool guy. I bet he even let him take his Camaro out for a spin. Chill bros are the best bosses.
He avoided the Lil B curse

His favorite football team is undefeated this season
You know how crappy you feel after your team loses on Sunday? Steph Curry hasn’t felt that since last season.
His daughter became an Internet sensation
As someone who accidentally made his daughter go semi-viral once, I can attest this is a big deal and probably the best gift you can give your child, other than love, support, and normal stuff like that.
Riley Curry set a high bar, but if sibling rivalry means anything, Ryan Carson Curry won’t let Riley absorb all the attention without a fight:
Still undefeated against his brother
If you don’t think he keeps track of this, you don’t have a sibling.
He proved he can do a 360 dunk
Yeah, he isn’t Zach LaVine, but I think Green would clearly make the tradeoff in jumping ability for Curry’s shooting stroke.
He got a new toilet
Laugh all you want, but the numbers show he’s played better since he upgraded in the commode department. And besides, it’s not like you get a new toilet every year. Each time you get a new one, it’s a big deal. I know I remember how excited I was when I got my new toilet installed, and it only had one cool feature. I can only imagine how much more excited Curry must be about his new throne.
He changed the way we watched basketball
Sure, it’s probably terrible for TV producers, but he’s picked up millions of fans in the process. He also apparently gets spotted points at the free-throw line, which is nice little perk, especially when he misses.
He golfed like a boss in front of the president
Stephen Curry is absurd: He shot a 76 while golfing with President Obama—and it didn't help his handicap. pic.twitter.com/k1nsL0t3ue

He became a Jeopardy category
